Bricks is def the future for builders. For me as a full stack coder a game changer. Finally I can work visually just as I would code stuff, and best of all, it’s so fast and renders lovely output. And it’s just in version 1.5. That’s insane.

I'm binkoanter from France! Your ability of discussing Elementor parts is amazing and nice to see when essentially need the basics!

This how the new page builders hsould be reviews. I have the bricks since Jan 2022, but never used it or like other tutorials. I liked how you take us through the process as first time user.

In Bricks there is a lot to discover, you've just scratched the surface of it, and it will need a little more of a developer thinking to understand why Bricks does things like they did. To me, it makes totally sense and for me Bricks is more intuitive with some things than Elementor is. Also, the way you can use CSS in Bricks, you have not seen or noticed, I guess. You can set “Global Styles” and give them names. I give you an example, maybe you can follow. Since 10 years ago, you have walked to the next street (parallel street behind the houses) left around your street to get to the other roughly middle. Then your neighbour says, why you don't go right around, it's a half mile shorter. It will feel different, odd, weird, but if you would walk the next time always right around it just starts to feel more right, probably. And that's what it is, we have two products, two options and have the freedom to chose what we want. For me, as I'm super curious about it, is the Bricks builder for now.

This builder is developing by leaps and bounds with each update. It's a joy to use for developers- no lagging or loading times while the builder starts. To me, one of the most underrated features is the remote templates, which makes transferring designs, or entire websites, a snap. No importing or exporting, just link up the destination and all the layouts are there. One thing I haven't gotten to work as well as I'd liked is the Gutenberg - Bricks data interchange, but perhaps improvements will come in the next update.

You can have the live web page on one screen and the editor on the second screen. When you save anything on the editor, it will automatically refresh the live web page to show the latest result. Great for working and seeing your results quickly!

i also love Elementor but big fan of Oxygen and Bricks. Both of them produce very clean code. You can actually add a div that is just a plain div. Anything you add in Elementor automatically gets dumped inside 3-4 layers of divs. If you want a clean code base then oxygen and bricks, maybe zion and cwircly are the only builders that do it.

Thanks for this Imran ! I have now bought the Ultimate version, as an "investment", just like I did with the Elite plan (1000 websites for $199) with Elementor (and I'm so happy now to have done this !).. So I cross the finger that I'll be as happy as with Elementor...and if not, the cost is so ridiculous ;-)

Used 6 months ago, comparatively to that time it's become a beast!!

Bricks Builder really has a great future.. the team works hard.

I think we’re missing the fact that Bricks is offering a 199$ unlimited websites LIFETIME license. Elementor NEVER had a lifetime anything. This makes this deal so much mor compelling

Great video, i played with Bricks for an hour or two earlier and it's interesting for sure. For the life of me though I couldn't create a gradient background for a page lol

Agreed, and they develop and implement the roadmap really fast!

I was watching!! I burst out laughing ... sorry, please continue :P

Great Vid! I really recommend to work with classes because it's very powerful for global styling, you can pretty much style everything globally with classes. Performance is really great in Bricks, 60 points on mobile is very bad and optimization is a lot of additional work in Elementor. I think the publish button was vanishing because you already published the changes and there was nothing new to publish.

Love this!

Great video and insight Imran. I'll be totally honest though, I'm not convinced about the page speed scoring until more digging has been done as to how it does it. It might be genuine and very good....but that's what people think about nitro pack too. At first glance I found the interface looked a bit too cluttered. But I will reserve judgement until the time I might have a look. But it's certainly worth keeping an eye on.

I also like the idea of an expanded with video help area. But just to note, Bricks is being built by 5 developers. I think their priorities currently are in the right place to 1) continue building out the capabilities of Bricks and 2) squashing bugs as they invariably pop up. I also believe that by 2.0 there will be no discussion whether Ele or O2 should ever be used in a professional website building environment or agency. My faith is due to the underpinnings and framework being Vue. Even Sofly, makers of O2, are instead building a whole new builder with Vue (Breakdance), rather than rewrite O2. It remains to be seen how Elementor will move into the future: rewrite or build a new builder. I'm betting on something completely new, or purchasing a new theme builder.

Freat stuff as always mate I have issues with some styles in 1.5.4 but I guess it may be me :)

Most awaited

Im really the same boat. I can visually when using Elementor but with Bricks not there yet, And yes, Bricks gives you Primary, Secondary styling for buttons idk I forgt how many styles can you set without using the class system but it is possible.

😂😂 I'm glad you saw the performance difference. I imagine it felt wrong to hit 100 without even optimizing

I've only visited the Bricks home page and this is the first time I've seen a in-depth video of Bricks and 😮 100 x 2 on performance out of the box! 🤯 I really like the added SM and SEO features. Some of the design functionality will annoy me though. I do not like how global styles are locked in the way it is and what is up with the publish button? These two things will be little frustrations along with having to input the numbers on gradients and other element styles while designing and probably keep me wondering why it is the way it is and wishing it wasn't so. I'm like you, using Elementor is such a breeze because I've used it for so long. Is what I saw enough to make me change over....not yet, but Bricks has huge potential and I will definitely be keeping 👀 on it. Thanks for another great video.

Publish button... probably because you are in a template, rather than a page? Stretch thing is sorted in 1.5 afaik Overriding theme styles on the fly works for me btw! "Next" on the roadmap usually means next update. ALSO.... We do need to see a Breakdance comparison now :)

Lifetime licence too... so better than the grandfathered in on Elementor Pro where you still pay yearly

Great video walk through of first time use. Correct me, but doesn't bricks have a scroll with right mouse to rotate the numerical change setting rather than manual enter or click on up down arrows? For instance , change font size via right click and move up.

Do you guys also create a child theme of bricks like you do for hello theme?

I really like Bricks and how its getting better and better at a fast pace since release. But as you I would rely, to some extent, on Elementor which I know how works and quickly can build a site. Currently I am looking into building on of my own sites using Bricks. I was hoping Elementor would have released Flex containers, but this never seem to happend :-(

Great learning Bricks 🧱 with you!

1:02:20 the moment my dude saw the light

Where can I find in your videos the topic: H1 header/title, but working in 2 different sizes (bigger font in desktop, smaller on mobiles) ?

Hey man, i was wondering how to create a full width container or slider when my defined site width is 1300px. I try, but the container defaults to the set site size.

I think they have just released a link for a free sandbox option on their website

Hi guys, I am wondering what I should do as a CSS noob and elementor and divi trained web design amateur. I am purchasing a web builder soon but do you think I can use Bricks builder without any knowledge of CSS?

Try the Breakdance builder. It will be a direct competitor to the Elementor.

dang, you got rid of hello dolly?!? 😂 one of my favorite parts of getting to my tasks is that top right hand corner *i feel the room swayin’* or *you’re still goin’ strong* little messages. 😅 maybe i’m a sucker, i live in the delta of usa, so we love dolly here. can’t delete the dolly.

Hey Imran !! I'm wondering is paid membership pro able to use with bricks ??

Bloody hell, Oxygen is sooooooo slow ........ and no realtime building of pages! Just heard about Bricks today!

Looks like there isn't a trial version for bricks to give it a try like elementor free plugin 🤔

Dont love Bricks, I well be sticking with Elementor

I think Elementor is unmatched when it comes to third party add-ons. Crocoblock, unlimited elements, etc.

You should've made this video with Bricks 1.5-beta. By the time this update is released by next month's first week, the video has no value.

So Bricks didnt have the picture on mobile vs Elementor that had the picture in mobileview how can you compare that speed wise makes no sense.

18:30 I'd call them "bricks"... "use bricks to build your house"...

🙋🏻‍♂️

It is not a $199 anymore. Unfortunately.

I've been experimenting with Bricks, but I don't like the interface, and one thing that worried me was the 'Hover' effect, especially for a button. I think I'll stick with Elementor.

I find that elementor is way much easier to use 🙂

over talking!

sorry my man, but you are too annoying for me to watch a complete video of you being astonished by the simplest things. And whats up with the PERMANENT HUGE face overlay.. is this video's purpose for showcasing the product.. or you? Sorry, but for each one of the minute things that you are so astonished about that this has and Elementor doesn't, Elementor has 50 that this doesn't. Lastly, just off of the ecosystem of other WP plugins built for and around Elementor.. comparing these two from a developer's stand-point... isn't even a comparison. Maybe a non-developer non-coder and strictly WYSISWYG website developer wanna-be this would be acceptable.

The company is very shady. go ahead and invest in their products, then have fun removing their products from your work flow and finding something else in a couple years. Bricks and the company is garbage. get away from builders

Sadly, switched from Elementor. To? Blocksy Theme + Gutenberg Blocks like Kadence / Stackable 100 / 100 also.
