Bricks Builder for WordPress in 30 minutes: Crash Course for the Best Page Builder

[@ihadnoideathatgoogleallowe6551]

OMG, been loving the Bricks Builder for a while now and I've never imagined for it to be featured on this channel. Thank you

[@bakeraus]

This is very refreshing to watch, some other Bricks tutorials are just insanely indepth which is good for advanced users but this was much easier to understand for the basic/beginner user.

[@tryderrick]

As a webflow expert, I love how similar this is. I can't wait to build with it! - webflow is amazing but just expensive for my programmatic seo sites.

[@Oscar.Carmona]

Wow! DIVI nation here, but it stayed behind in tech. I had tried webflow but didn't invest in getting through the learning curve. THIS was a GREAT demonstration and explanation hands on! I think I found my next season of web builder ☺️

[@Skratchable]

Bricks has gotten even better since this video!

[@Fostit]

This is a great video, I always had in mind that Elementor was the best bet for me but this looks like a pretty solid option. Thank you.

[@sam-harrison]

Thanks dude 👍🏻

[@Dominich1993]

You'll probably be better off with Breakdance then. Its meant to feel like Elementor but has a lot of the benefits of Bricks too.

[@SeattleCoorain]

Appreciate that you share your knowledge of Web design and relate it to an overview of Bricks Builder. One suggestion. Since this is a beginners video tutorial, you should know it is hard to follow your tasks when you hide the selection steps from your viewers. Example: you talk about performing a task, however there is seldom any mention of the mechanics of say: right-clicking or holding down a modifier key first to enable the selection. Lack of these enabling details is not uncommon for teachers who know their subject so well and are accustom to performing complex tasks quickly, and effortlessly. I appreciate that you are trying to cover alot of material in a time condensed video tutorial, however the result for me, a Bricks beginner, becomes so confusing, because there seem to be missing steps in the selection mechanics, that I want to bail 30% thru your presentation and find another KZbin Bricks tutorial that might not cover as many features as you, but I can follow the required steps for each task more thoroughly. I have taken the time to leave the above comment, because I think you are very skilled in your Web design craft and have made an effort to help others learn from your knowledge and experience. Teaching beginners is a special skillset that takes time and practice. There is no doubt this Bricks tutorial would be perfect for viewers who already have experience with the Bricks UI and/or good Webpage design skills. -- many regards. (I have subscribed to your Flux Academy channel and will return to it when I have more Bricks UI experience myself)

[@FluxAcademy]

Thanks for the feedback

[@Jensomat]

Thanks for this video. It was fun watching! 😊

[@graffigdesign8977]

Hey Sam - thank you so much for this tut - just starting out with Bricks - quick question - I'm using Admin Menu Pro at the moment to style the WP Dashboard backend. would you mind sharing what you are using to modify the styling of your dashboard backend? Again, many thanks for takin the time out to create the lesson

[@nickwrona9051]

I want to know, too!!

[@tdesercey]

I’m a convert to webstudio as opposed to webflow. Open source and solid. Impressed by bricks. Great video man.

[@TACDetective]

@tdesercey So, do you build a site in webstudio then build it again in wordpress,would't a piece of paper be just as good for fleshing out inittial idea's?

[@tdesercey]

@@TACDetective I’m not sure what you’re referring to? In Webstudio, you’re not locked into Wordpress, and you’re able to fairly easily able to build a nice site that’s lean and fast as hell. Some of the foundational substrate of webstudio has fixed problems that still exist and slowdown webflow. They also have been doing regular updates. To me they’re very promising.

[@stewtech]

Need that ACF video!!🔥🔥🔥

[@wittywolk]

Damn, didn't expected to see you here Sam. Great for you. I'm still using Oxygen, but maybe one day...

[@thebruckners]

Thank you for putting this video together. Would be interested in also seeing another Bricks video which explains how to build the global menus in the header and footer.

[@bricksmotion]

Lovely to see, that Bricks gained your attention. 🎉

[@amirrehman1037]

thank you for divilering a good lecture

[@tsognanwar]

1. What plugin are you using to change the WP Admin UI? 2. What are the chrome extensions you have used here? Thanks.

[@SkippyFromAus]

keen to know this also

[@raulpena-tc5fo]

When is the course coming out? Hopefully soon can't wait for it.

[@michalgazdik9103]

After shitting for so long on WordPress now you guys create tutorials for it :D :D :D well done!

[@jose-kb1dg]

Great tutorial. I'm new with bricks and love it already. Where can i find the tutorial for how to make the navbar and the footer? thank you.

[@tomashudolin7197]

Nice video. But just one note about the widow. You can't prevent it especialy in webs because web site is responsive. So there will always be these kinds of typographics mistakes. Or if you use fluid grid then the width of elements isn't fixed also.

[@Michael.........]

Why do you like to use grid over flex box for 2 columns? What's the advantage?

[@LouiseJosephine]

Thanks!! Wanted to apply for a job titled "FE web developer" thinking it would be coding in HTML/CSS/JS but turned out to be designing websites in Wordpress using Bricks from static designs and I have NO idea how to use Wordpress or Bricks so I'm cramming 😅

[@ganauta]

Just purchased my Bricks license (tomorrow it will double it's price), as a Divi user I often run with some obstacles, which Bricks seem to manage correctly with more freedom to design and arrange my websites, it also seems more difficult to start with but I will manage to get used to it.

[@madsnygaard6444]

Curious how the transition has worked out for you?

[@SamanticsNL]

Good video. I'm only missing a quick start on the nav aswell. I'm leaving Divi behind, because of a lack of accessibility options. But learning Bricks isn't that intuitive. Thanks for the video!

[@nikitabashaiev6588]

great video Sam! What's that plugin for a better WordPress UI you mentioned at the beginning? Could really use it in my everyday work with WordPress

[@sam-harrison]

Thank you! It’s called uipress 👍🏻

[@19mad92]

Amazing, thank you! Since I am looking to make the transition to Bricks easier I came across a very promising tool. Have you ever heart of Nimbufy 3 for Bricks? This sounds very very time saving but I haven't tested it and I am curious about it... maybe you know more?

[@SungananiManjolo]

Thank you for this overview. It certainly look better than Elementor. How do I develop a site for a client? Live in their hosting account?

[@WatercolorFanatic]

Very helpful, thanks

[@CowMeCow]

Great tutorial 👍 BTW, what Extensions did you use in this video? 😅

[@tommyf4lk]

Hi! Im new to Bricks but i realy enjoy it and im starting to get a grip. In a video i saw that you have a plugin that enhances the admin meny to have arrows/dropdown instead of the traditional. Would you mind telling me what plugin that is. 👋🏻 Tommy

[@nickwrona9051]

Yeah, I'd like to know, too!!!

[@CallmeKaram]

I just feel so let down when I read comments like, Bricks is a heaven for developers. But what about those who don't have the coding skills but still want to build great websites. It feels like me as a designer is limited with bricks as I don't know how to code :(

[@Skratchable]

you can definitely use Bricks with zero coding knowledge. I had some people on our team who had only used drag and drop builders like Divi and Elementor and while there was a small learning curve, they are WAY faster now! and we use CSS framework to make development and design even faster! They have since learned some more CSS but barely any and they are building way better sites than elementor.divi days.

[@Skratchable]

@underscoredevie ^this is our experience too! Bricks is great!

[@EldercareSuccess]

Very helpfu but I find that some of the Bricks functions aren't working on my side. Example, I can't drag and pull down the padding margins between the paragraphs. Any idea why this might be happening?

[@JayLim-bn9fh]

Thanks

[@Digitaldominationbd]

Amazing Video

[@julr7413]

Hi! When can we expect the course? I did not receive any email after submitting the form. Do you already know whether this project will start?

[@TheBikeFather]

How does this compare with webflow?

[@EPHONIC]

I think I’m sold on getting Bricks. What plugin is used to get the WordPress interface so nice looking?🎉

[@sam-harrison]

Awesome! It’s called uipress 👍🏻

[@Telkor_Videos]

When will you make videos about the navigation?

[@jcwebtech]

Flux stopped hating on WP and trying to jump back on the train? 😂

[@MB-sl8pw]

Can you tell what plugins you are using for your browser ?

[@levindeheer2056]

I am an Elementor builder, but wow I think I want to switch

[@momenteimlicht3375]

Question: I've been working with the FlexBlock Editor from Flo Themes. However, Flo Themes has now been acquired by Pixiset and simply shut down. Support for the Flex Block Editor ends at the end of September. Now, to my question. When I designed a page with the FlexBlock Editor, the limits of what could be done were only limited by my imagination. Once I had a page ready, I could switch to the editor for the mobile version of the page and adjust everything independently of the desktop version so that my page always looked good, whether on mobile or desktop. On the desktop, it didn't matter if I had a 4K monitor, a full HD one, or a 1440p monitor open. It didn't matter how I resized or enlarged my browser; everything was responsive down to the last detail. Is this also possible with Bricks? Or will my page look good on Full HD but bad on mobile? Or will my page on 4K desktops look like it's from 1999?

[@newlongju]

what about navbar and responsivnes

[@ButtaJones]

Sam, what app are you using to screen record?

[@thekenapp535]

Breakdance is better than bricks tbh. People don't like the CEO but it does not change the fact that its better than brick. I love both Flux and Sam though

[@JohnSmith-bs9ym]

How does Breakdance compare to Oxygen? So far I'm really enjoying Oxygen, but I'm not sure if I should get Breakdance as well because it's built by the same team.

[@thekenapp535]

@@JohnSmith-bs9ym Apart from wanting to use classes for everything, breakdance is better than oxygen. You wont need many plugins with it and it's being developed at an insane speed.

[@wittywolk]

It depends on for who are you recommending it. I'm a Oxygen user, so for me Breakdance is a hard no - I love working with classes and I want them to be quickly accessible, as it is with Oxygen or Bricks. I know that there is market for builders like Breakdance, but you really shouldn't compare these two.

[@clarebrody1]

Do you know if it's possible to get pre done patterns for Bricks?

[@kirstylouise2354]

theres some in the free version of relume :)

[@imanuky]

Hi, thanks for the video! A doubt. How do you get the WordPress dashboard to look like it did at 1:25?

My pleasure! It’s a plugin called uipress

@@sam-harrison I found it! Thank you.

[@berlinerfamily]

I just cannot replicate the copy/pasting at this time mark 16:55 in the current try testbed of bricksbuilder

[@hahahap9844]

Is the course released? its been 4months?

[@depbassist7848]

I'm confused as to how licencing works with Bricks Builder. If I have paid a 1 year subscription and build out a site for a customer, what happens if you don't renew? Is the site no longer online, or is it online and you just can't make any edits? I'm not opposed to renewing but I want to be able to explain and justify costs to any potential clients.

[@waltercastillo5415]

Your site will be online, however you are not be able to update the newest version of the the theme, that includes updates in developmet and security. However I don’t think is several for your client site.
