If you're a freelancer or agency owner, what's your process for deploying a new Bricks development site?
Do you manually install Bricks and all your plugins? Do you manually put in all your plugin license keys? Do you manually configure all your plugin settings? What about your preferred WP settings? What about your preferred Bricks settings?
How do you handle common custom post types? A header template? Footer? Contact form? SEO settings? Optimization settings?
Do you do all or most of this manually for every new project?
Stop doing that! It's a massive waste of time and money. It's not fun. In fact, it's what chumps do!
In this video, I will show you how to create a Bricks "blueprint" site with Bricks Builder, all plugins, and all WP settings pre-configured to deploy new development sites in seconds whenever you have a new project to work on.
I will go plugin by plugin, setting by setting, showing you the entire setup. And I'll show you an easy process that allows you to deploy your blueprint site to any domain in seconds.
If you don't use my exact plugins, it's okay. You'll still learn a good process. If you use the plugins I use, you'll get to see exactly how I set everything up.
