Jeffrey from Lytbox shows me Bricks Builder

[@mahmudzar]

Hey Rino, bring in Kevin next, the guy is bricks wizard.

[@TotallyRens]

That would be great!

[@TheEssentialWebsite]

Yes! My two favorite KZbinrs together again... excited to watch through this. Bricks is on my list to learn in 2025... love that you are checking it out Rino! PS. No issues with audio in the replay....

[@donatasp.]

Awesome video about Bricksbuilder, giving a great intro but just scratching the surface! :) It seems like Rino might have felt a bit overwhelmed seeing so much at once, especially with Jeffrey showing all those options using vanilla BB, ACSS, CF, and AT :D It can definitely be a bit confusing at first. But once you get the hang of how BB works and see how frameworks can simplify and speed up your workflow, you’ll never want to use anything else but BB+ACSS (or CF)+AT!

[@TotallyRens]

I too use ACSS with Bricks now. ACSS basically is just a framework built with best practices in mind. It will help create consistency across anything you build. Things like accessibility are already taken care of, you'll score higher in google too because of it. It takes care of colors, scalability with your typography, paddings, margins and these kind of things. You can adjust all these things too if you prefer but out of the box it's already great. It's based on variables and classes, and it's coded in a way things should be coded. Glad to see Jeffrey points it out.

Wow 2 of my favorites WordPress and design in the same video 🎉 very happy to see you talking about bricks builder. :)

[@symonos]

As we say it in Dutch: “verfrissend Rino!”. Very nice that you do some other content and also seek contact with us in this form. I hope you will continue with this! 🏆

Interesting stream, Rino. My main critique is Jeffrey's focus was too much on the advanced developer-centric stuff with the CSS setup and didn't focus enough on selling you or the audience on why the builder itself is leaps above Elementor, out of the box without getting deep in the weeds with the stuff only developers care about. The focus on CSS and CSS frameworks makes Bricks seem far more complicated to use than it is. Then with Advanced Themer, the focus was just on the CSS framework again, when AT has a bunch of cool interface tools like a grid builder, responsive image focal points, etc. He has Bricksforge installed, he could have showed you the power of the forms builder or the animation timeline. I'd like to see this presented to you again as a designer, not a developer. Seems like some great opportunities were missed.

[@LytboxStudio]

True. I honestly thought the classes and frameworks would 'click' much quicker and wasn't planning to stay on it. But it was good learning this is where many would be overwhelmed and helpful for future tutorials. We only scratched the surface.

[@struglbus]

@@LytboxStudio that's the beauty of Bricks and why I left Elementor for it. I've been doing development for over two decades, but out of the box I love how Bricks allows me to still feel completely in control if I want to dive into code and markup -- but it's also makes for a great drag and drop builder for those that don't want the technical overhead. Add some extra powerful tools like AT and Forge? *chef's kiss*

[@LytboxStudio]

@ that’s a great point. Sometimes there’s so much of a focus on following best practices that it’s easy to forget it can also be used as a normal drag and drop similar to Elementor which is a great way for people new to begin with and then can level up as they learn more.

Bricks + Core User 🙋

[@timliversage3837]

Your video made an impact, 2 hours later and elementor just announce editor v4 with css classes 😂 Roadmap to Editor V4 - An updated Editor including unified Design System, CSS Classes, Pseudo-Classes, and more.

[@daedaluxe]

Competition is great. Especially for those of us who just can't be bothered to move on from Elementor. More competition to keep Elementor on their toes is great. And the builder, It's good enough. I can spinup a new site in localwp with all my templates in 10 minutes, and have a finished 5 page business site I can charge 1.2k for in 5 hours. Why would I move to Bricks, lol, it does look good, don't get me wrong, but not good enough for me to move to it. Especially when child theme & functions.php and self made plugins exists.

[@rinodeboer]

Haha wait what?

[@nickmark8074]

I just saw that and was thinking the same thing.

[@vsualgrid]

They are already working on it since last year I believe.

[@plantifulalexandra]

I'm so happyyy!

[@Lukeissilva]

Bricks seems a little more confusing and meant for developers 1:22:53

[@dovber]

Do design a website you need to understand the fundamentals of Html and CSS not a propiotry tool that 1 company did

[@struglbus]

Nah, it's just like Elementor or any other builder for the designers. The stream just focused a lot on the developer-specific power of Bricks, which none of it is required to use Bricks. It's great at catering to both needs.

[@bob-p7x6j]

I think they have a free playground sandbox if you want to try it out for free.....

[@Lukeissilva]

I think Elementor is great but we need more control over woo-commerce

[@LeGraa]

Try Webstudio next...

[@cooltechandmore]

Why so early? It's 6:49am

[@TA7928]

The internet is larger than your timezone, dude

[@bob-p7x6j]

It's 6:49 pm somewhere, and it's always beer time....
