Blocs is a visual builder from a small UK company that produces responsive sites on the Bootstrap 5 framework, and its feature comparison lists Works offline for every edition. You stack pre-made Bloc sections or build pages from scratch, then add Bric components such as carousels, modals and tabbed content, with a Class Editor for detailed styling. The free version builds unlimited websites but cannot export or publish, so it works as an open-ended trial. Standard costs $112.99 including tax as a one-off payment and adds export to code, publishing to your own hosting and custom fonts on 1 Mac. Plus, at $179.99, adds custom interactions, WordPress theme building, website import and 2 Mac activations. All Blocs 6 updates are free, though moving between major versions costs extra. It suits Mac users who prefer ownership over a subscription.
