## Beskriuwing

**TopPicks** is the first WordPress plugin built specifically for creating “Top 
Picks” / “Our Recommendations” / “Editor’s Choice” summary card sections at the 
top of listicle articles.

Every major review site — Wirecutter, WPBeginner, TechRadar, PCMag, Tom’s Hardware—
uses this exact UI pattern: 3-5 product/service recommendation cards with badges,
one-liners, and CTA buttons. Until now, WordPress bloggers had to build this manually
in HTML, use clunky page builders, or skip it entirely.

**TopPicks makes it one Gutenberg block.**

#### Free Features (12)

 1.  **Top Picks Gutenberg block** — drag-and-drop from the block inserter
 2.  **Up to 5 pick cards** per block
 3.  **Badge labels** — “Best Overall”, “Best Value”, “Editor’s Pick” + custom badges
 4.  **Product name + one-liner** per card
 5.  **CTA button with link** — “View Plans”, “Check Price”, custom text
 6.  **3 layout templates** — Horizontal cards, Vertical grid, Compact list
 7.  **Basic color controls** — badges, cards, buttons, section background
 8.  **Responsive design** — stacks beautifully on mobile
 9.  **Section heading** — “Our Top Picks”, “Editor’s Choice”, custom text
 10. **Nofollow/sponsored link toggle** — rel=”sponsored” per Google guidelines
 11. **Under 5KB footprint** — zero JavaScript on frontend, pure CSS
 12. **Works with any theme** — 100% Gutenberg-native, no page builder dependency

#### Who Is This For?

 * Affiliate marketers writing “Best X for 2026” articles
 * Review bloggers and niche site owners
 * WooCommerce shops needing “Staff Picks” sections
 * Anyone publishing product roundups or recommendations
