2024 in Review: My Plans for 2025 (Including New Page Builders!)

[@TotallyRens]

I refunded Elementor and got a bricks lifetime license instead, so it's nice to see you'll be exploring it as well! Hoping to see some content on it!

[@LytboxStudio]

Much respect for your openness and honesty. Keeping it real and 💯 💪

[@jimroberts1248]

Rino, it is so great to have a video on **Rino**. You are an amazing lecturer and presenter. I learned Elementor from your Udemy lectures several years ago and have been following you since then. Oh, and your Elementor Pro Mastery is a gem. I've found you to be the clearest and most focused on the material; a great teacher. Your personal goals and aspirations are just right on too. More power to you and much personal and professional success in your passions!

[@EldaVanGolden]

Best wishes, Rino! Wishing you a wonderful year! :)

[@lanamiro8443]

Happy New Year and wishing you all the best! Your values in this video are so similar to what I'm learning now: less things, more mental care. So thankful for this video

[@ronfairfield374]

appreciate the awareness and transparency that you have discovered.... thank you :)

[@ProRenovaHomeImprovement]

Greetings for Nyuh Kuning, Rino! Hope to meet you in Ubud next if you swing back around. Thank you for many lessons and insights in 2024, and for such an honest and inspiring message tonight. 🎉

[@jeffxcc]

[@slmattus]

Looking forward to accompanying you though 2025, Rino! It was really beautiful to witness your growth through 2024 - thank you for sharing your growth with us! It’s inspiring to see you in this way! Thank you! If you want to discuss Mighty Networks as a community option to host community and courses, please let me know - I’ve been with them for 5+ years. I’d be happy to share my personal experience (it’s been positive!). Happy New Year! I appreciate you.

[@bestemminggroen]

Thanks Rino for sharing, I can find myself in your journey as there is also a pile of unfinished stuff and got distracted by a lot of other peoples crap. Gelukkig nieuwjaar!

[@BilalShirzadDev]

Making videos about Crocoblock will be much better because the audience are thirsty videos about crocoblock from your side!

[@kareldemeersseman3387]

Agreed!

[@nicolasschiff6164]

Agreed

[@yassineabid5369]

Absolutely!

[@stefanradu4550]

Yes sirrr

[@StoicescuCiprian]

I appreciate your openness! good luck

[@CronYcK1]

[@wo0tGAMING]

got into bricks through you, when you mentioned it i think 2 year ago - and its the best thing that happened to me - so thank you Rino!

[@rinodeboer]

Oh really, that’s so cool. I didn’t have the time yet to dive into it but will start soon. Excited!

[@mounirbousli4323]

Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@veralive83]

Ik ga aan jouw elementor cursus beginnen in januari. Erg zin in! Ben benieuwd naar de ‘zwem-bevindingen’. Keep us posted! 🎉 Happy 2025

[@rinodeboer]

Veel succes met de cursus! En zal ik doen 😁😁😁

[@9090RF]

Lessons about Breakdance builder are. most interesting. There is a lot of lessons about Bricks and Elementor

[@iftekharrahman8100]

Hi Rino, I always watch your videos. Can you please make some videos on 1. How you created a web design agency, 2. The process of getting clients

[@makostarsglobal]

Nice video. Good luck in 2025!

[@code-with-adn]

I was waiting for your new video Thank you ❤❤

[@techiesreviews]

Awesome Rino, what you are planning to do with the live streams is something I am also doing, and to be fair, it’s saving a bunch of time. You can’t perfectionize (or something like that) on your live streams. If you ever would like to have a chat on the live stream or would love to exchange some knowledge let me know 😁. And happy new years🎉

[@rinodeboer]

Awesome! How do you feel its saving you time? I have an idea but could you share your experience with me? And yes, lets chat 😁

[@techiesreviews]

​@@rinodeboer Well, first, a bit of context. With a full-time job as a UX designer for a tech company (so no web building during the day, yet) and two young kids, my time is limited. I have two evenings (from 8pm to about 10ish, sometimes 12) to get an idea, build/test it, and create videos. In general, a live stream saves me time because I can create a video from the things learned during the live stream. After all, it's top of mind. It also helps me structure the things that I need to cover. I am very chaotic by nature, and explaining it out loud helps me understand what I want to tell so I can structure it better the next time around. Lastly, it's a good indication of what topics to cover and how long it would take me to cover a topic for a video. My live streams don't get a lot of views, but the relative amount of views and watch time give me an indication that a topic is good enough for a video. Secondly, I have been doing that a few times, repurposing live stream content for videos, like the plugin overviews, in 2 or 3 live streams I have content for a whole month or two, hopefully, in the future more people will join the live streams so I can help them with their questions. Thirdly, it helps me feel more relaxed on camera because the live streams are not perfect, there are things that go wrong and you need to debug live. When recording a video afterward it feels more natural. And I need less time scripting and editing. This especially is something I want to grow in seeing I have limited time. Nice that you like to have a chat! What is the best way of scheduling something? Love to understand if and how we vibe 😁😁

[@annebovelett]

Great, dear Rino! Come find me when you want to do one about accessibility. Happy New Year! 🤗

[@rinodeboer]

Happy new year! Good idea 🙏🏻, I will!

[@Loenbrad18]

Awesome candid video!

[@tobisalami]

When you test other page builders, you'll retract your statement about not leaving Elementor. I promise you. 😊 Always rooting for you! Glad to see you're doing okay

[@downo]

I'm curious about bricks vs breakdance? Which one did you use?

[@marszu-com]

I support your opinion. After 5 years in Elementor, I am now finishing my 3rd project in Bricks. If I have to go back and correct something in a project made in Elementor, I feel like someone tied one of my hands behind my back :)

[@tobisalami]

@@downo hi... I use Bricks, mostly. But get my feet wet with other builders too.

[@tobisalami]

@@marszu-com that accurately describes it! Haha! And I was very dogmatic about using Elementor previously. I didn't know what I didn't know.

[@obvinpro]

I recently used Breakdance. It's way advance than Elementor but simpler compare to Bricks. It's a child of Elementor and Bricks.

[@Yannick.D]

I Got a foot into bricks builder and my whole body is absorbed in it with no turning back possible , everything I see on the web just seems possible right now !

[@rinodeboer]

Wow, I'm excited to check it out

[@michaelfoerster3364]

🎉Happy New Year 2025🎉 Would be interesting to know what technical and skill limitation it was that kept you from fulfilling the job - did you ever consider to partner up with more technical partners?

[@rinodeboer]

I will make a video about that project soon. And I am actually in the process of partnering up with a developer for the more difficult parts.

[@michaelfoerster3364]

@rinodeboer great, if it doesnt work out, I am also offering advanced development for wordpress and woocommerce.

[@royschippers1251]

Ik ben in 2024 in Bangkok en Bali geweest en sluit me 100% aan op het materialistische leven van het westen. Het contrast van die culturen zou elke Nederlander moeten ervaren.

[@rinodeboer]

Grappig dat je dit zegt, want sinds ik terug ben roep ik dit ook tegen iedereen 😆

[@skill4687]

please make next video about for how to find client.

[@designbyamirul]

Switched to Breakdance in Oct, gotta say its free version is far superior than Elementor. But newer version, took back some function that previously available on free. Good thing I can use previous version.

[@rinodeboer]

Interesting. What features did they remove from the free version?

[@designbyamirul]

@@rinodeboer I dont read the documentation but from what I noticed, u cant put URL in images & they completely removed post featured image widget. They dont say that they removed it but they did it for "performance optimization"

[@rinodeboer]

Interesting. So do you still think its possible to create a blog with the free version now?

[@designbyamirul]

@@rinodeboer since they are not available on wp directory, I can revert previous version without worries, currently the free version is on 2.2 but I'm on 2.0. I reckon we can still make a blog for free on the latest version but without the featured image tho.

[@TheAssembling]

there is another great one called , vev,design

I don't use Elementor and I don't purchase Elementor Themes (Theme Forest) because there is no "Global Options" for fonts and colors changes sitewide. But I use it for landing pages. I really don't understand how it became so big... is it just me?

[@rinodeboer]

What do you mean that there is no option for global settings and colors? It's in the Site settings and has been there for a long time.

[@BilalShirzadDev]

please let me know about your Microphone, I want to buy for my content. I will happy to get no noise one. What is your mic model?

[@rinodeboer]

I am using the Sennheizer Profile USB Microphone. It's easy to use because it's just USB C.

[@nelgster]

what are your thoughts on Oxygen page builder?

[@rinodeboer]

Haven't used it yet, but I heard it's pretty abandoned

[@cooltechandmore]

When you say it was too technical did you mean coding, database or network?

[@rinodeboer]

No, just all the possibilities within JetEngine. It's a rabbit hole with lots of development terms I am not familiar with as a no-code developer.

[@BangulKhan-e5j]

K have seen every video of you Iam from 🇵🇰 Pakistan can youvplease make more videos on elementor bentbox designs like inverted onces

[@Snoopy-de]

Hey Rino. Happy new year for you - all your wishes will become true. 🙂 I like your comments to new plans for 2025. In concern of looking to other pagebuilders, I would skip Gutenberg because of terrible Ui/Ux, and Breakdance because of css and performance issues and the risk of unstability how the developer company will behave in future (Breakdance is the former Oxygen builder - so please google what has happend with Oxygen customers... bad thing). Your ideas about creating videos and perfectionism are good, - make (live)videos about creating or optimizing something (e.x. webdesign project) - and it haven' to be the perfect cut. 😊

[@tomfraser3086]

Bon voyage

[@myopinions1]

Yes jet engine is next level. More than acf pro.

[@OsvaldoOsorio]

breakdance is like the newest version of Oxygen Builder, even the guy who made the videos is the same. Hello this is Louis from Oxygen, I mean, Breakdance, hahaha. Am I wrong?

[@AllenLu]

elementor needs to work on more animations and new features instead of working on hosting

[@rinodeboer]

I agree

[@Teuser737]

Ik wens je een gezond en wijs 2025 Rino.

[@code-with-adn]

You are best teacher for elementor. I think Elementor developer owner need to add to you in their team to improvement elementor 🎉🎉🎉

[@downo]

Elementor is an Israeli company which supports genocide. Does that not bother you?

[@sameerpatelxyz]

Start with framer

[@cswebdesigns]

You will love Breakdance, but also Bricks (you will need a higher learning curve to get "warm" with it) and I guess you won't come back to Elementor 😅

[@rinodeboer]

Haha, I'm very curious and excited to check it out

[@BilalShirzadDev]

You're to much near to Islam TBH at the first! one day you will accept Inshallah! brother my plain is same as you mostly! but I added the Web Languages cause there will sometime need custome code not just css, also js, jquery , php and mysql i will cover that too and try hard Man!

[@seanoneill9130]

Try Breakdance.

[@photosmee]

Best wishes for you Rino🪄
