Hi mcastz and welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]

Themes and plugins for the Gutenberg type of content creation are available at the [wordpress.org...] site. This is the new type of content creation and layout management tools available in newer versions of WP that got started last year. Just look for Gutenberg enabled themes and you can get started. It works best if you are on a host with PHP 7.4 or newer enabled.

That information is available here in the WordPress forum [webmasterworld.com] Charter, which also explains why we do not discuss actual websites to solve problems. We prefer to educate webmasters to make their own judgements, rather than discuss specifics of any site. For your benefit, that welcome link above offers tips on using the forums' features and settings.

The behaviour is a folded right sidebar menu that unfold the items. First level menu is open from left-top to bottom-right, over the site. Second level is loaded in a dinamic box that appears next to the first boxed menu level.

Site contains as well right sidebar menú, which contains 3 options. When are hovered the background of the main page changes (just an effect). And finally when are clicked, the entire menu moves to the left side (just under the main menú) while opens an screen with the content of the selected item.

Looks difficult to achieve in wordpress, actually this page is developed by sitecore, but i wanted to know if there were something similar in wordpress.

Thanks

WordPress themes and plugins offer this kind of styled dynamic boxes for layout, widgets, just about anything. Have you visited the wordpress.org link above? You can search for Gutenberg capable themes and plugins that assist in styling the boxes. The most recent update of the default WordPress 2020 theme is Gutenberg ready.

Gutenberg-ready themes are ready to build out with those boxes. Search for Gutenberg plugins and many are free to use. "Gutenberg" is not a brand, it is a feature. (Though I'm sure there are many commercial options available too.)

A search like https://wordpress.org/themes/search/Gutenberg/ returns a lot of choices that are all free. Set filters if you are looking for specific verticals such as news themes or art themes.

If you are seeking someone to develop it for you, that is something you can find in the Commercial Themes section at WordPress.

First look for plugins with Gutenberg styling capability, then find a theme with the compatibility and a look that you want. I would try searching there for "Gutenberg menu styling" or "Gutenberg widget styling" plugins.
