- After many months of design and development, the new Builderius is finally available to the general public. The alpha release is free for everyone to test, experiment with, and provide feedback on.
Please visit: builderius.io/... to get your copy. Do not install on a production site; this version is only for testing purposes.
This video presents the new UI, the general philosophy, and the important details of Builderius. It demonstrates how to use the builder features and concludes by showing some basics of the workflow while creating a couple of templates from scratch.

The UI/UX looks very slick and intuitive very well done on the hard work that's been put in. Look very much forward to testing it!
Looking forward to the feedback, it means a lot to us
It's like if oxygen and bricks had a child. Great work 👍
And as every good parent, they should strive for their child to go further that they did ;)
@@thisweblabvideos hopefully they will🤞 Long road ahead :)
Congratulations! I love the sync of manually written CSS and the UI settings. And of course that you have components is gold. Good work! I wish you every success!
Wow, it looks really good. Showing A LOT of promise. Keep up the great work, guys!
Thanks ... comments like these give one a boost to go further ;)
Also, please feel free to shoot us a Screencast or a message with your experiences trying it out
It appears to be very very specific to developers who understand CSS and HTML. If a person doesn't, it would go right over their head. Components is excellent.
We will make sure people could do a lot by using GUI only.
As Vitalii said, most if not all can be done with UI only. Code is only there for those who need it. We would really urge you to try it out and give us some specific feedback at the roadblocks you hit, that would help immensely to make it friendly not only for advanced deva but for aspiring newcomers as well
Just add an llm to write code based on user input ez /s
Keep up the great work Builderius team! Enthusiastically following your development.
Thanks for your interest and the kind words
TONS of great ideas in there. Congrats, Builderius team! Can't wait to play with it. :D
UI looks promising and now focus on UX.
Elementor and especially Bricks has a lot of builder lag when a lot of classes are introduced through external CSS frameworks like ACSS and Core.
Address that in the final launch and you will have solved some really troubling issues. Godspeed!
I have implemented a basic integration with WindPress, so it adds 12K class names. Works fine. But maybe it is different, idk how another builder was made.
@@mrpsihoBricks forums and Facebook pages are littered with lag complaints both with Core and ACSS. Maybe worthwhile to check them out!
Thanks for pointing that out ... this might be a good USP 😁
@@Builderius "Build 100 sections with no-lag" sounds awesome usp
@@fiqihalfarizy4843 Could you clarify, please? You have built 100 sections? In Builderius alpha?
Great UI and it seems like a good start for an Alpha.
Consider getting inspired from Advanced Themer for its signature features, for the final launch, and hopefully, your launch will be a great launching pad.
Good luck!
Hi, thanks for a suggestion. We frequently "take tips" from tools such as AT ... will take another look though. Anything in particular you would personally like to see?
@@Builderius I won't go through each of the features, as AT’s website lists them pretty well (Game changers & Nice to have), however, what I am most impressed by is Maxime’s sense of UI and technical prowess. It feels like a class of its own.
That's your competition, Bricks + AT, and if you can beat that and present a superior alternative, then you will strike Gold. Good luck!
Been playing about with it for a while. I love the UI/UX, the very clean code output, the Class first based workflow and the basic css framework built in so far. I did want to ask though it seems to be very basic when it comes to Flexbox and CSS Grid control in the UI (such as align items, creating the actual grid, column starts and ends, justify content etc...) will this be available in the PRO version?
Yes, correct. We have not implemented all GUI in alpha version. More is coming in the final version!
@@mrpsihoIf you can bring in the Visual CSS Grid builder with Query loop, like Advanced Themer has brought to Bricks, it would be Chef’s Kiss.
@@John.Rearden This task is in our backlog. ;)
It looks AWESOME! I bought my license two years ago. It was worth the wait, because the new version is very promising. I can't wait to try it.. Congratulations! Looks super!
Thanks for the wait... we're really invested in making it a worthy wait
This new UI is way better than the brand coloured UI (bluish) that I remember seeing around a year back of the previous version.
That looked amateurish, whereas this looks professional. Kudos!
Thanks, we're allready busy making a task list for beta 😉
I like that it looks a lot like Elementor, especially the Elements panel. Though it’s a dev focussed builder, it would be nice to have pre-built widgets like in Elementor, such as, CTA’s, Back to top, Floating Buttons, etc, so that designers too can use the tool to build simple websites as it looks well built.
Thanks for your feedback. We definitely plan to add ready-made elements to the builder. The ones present now are the more basic and fundamental ones.
Yes, lightweight and accessible ones! ❤
This is so cool... I see myself porting to it soon.
That's an honor to hear. Wait for the stable version though 😁
I really like this tool already, I want to use it
That is great to hear. Download it and test, tell us where you hit the roadblocks
Looks really, really slick. Great job!
Thanks, man. It's great to hear this. If you happen to try it... share your experience
I love the interface.
Looks intuitive!!!
Great work
Hey Grant, we are happy to see you here. You make some great content, man. We would love it if you took some time off your schedule and take the alpha for a spin. It would help us a lot to hear what you think in a bit more detail.
Thanks for the comment though means a lot as well
So, $129 LTD unlimited sites, is that right? That sounds great. Do you plan on eventually (like hopefully within the next year) switching to a subscription model like Bricks. That would give me greater confidence in the long-term outcomes, thank you.
There will be subscription based plans. But I cannot share any details yet. Just know - they will be.
You’re amazing. Congratulations 🎉
Thank you!
Im new in the field of webdesign and im from designer background .... my suggestion is ...
There should be roadmap of the comming update, the pricing if you guys wanna change it for next 3 years... also put extra feature that lack in bricks or you will lose the only thing is the price for now and eventually it will be changed.... so get feature like combine the builder with cutsom field creation maybe or the builder itself has classes with right click if you have these 2 feature you will win by mile ... good luck guys
If you're new and only have a designer background vs. a development one, I don't know whether Builderius would be the best tool for you: the amount of power and control it affords are unprecedented, but it does assume you have some understanding of best practices for development - which in my experience on being initially a designer myself, and interacting with other designers, most do not. (I mean, I would 100% encourage you to try it out, just know there will be a learning curve. If you can get over that, the power it opens up for you will be unrivaled by current market solutions.)
That being said, you mentioned classes, so I'll assume you have at least a working knowledge of CSS, and answer accordingly: the selectors model is far more flexible and powerful than mere classes. You can use it for classes, for also complex rules that aren't possible unless writing CSS by hand in other builders, including Bricks.
As for the custom fields creation... Builderius has a concept of components. Properties, as shown in the video, are component-scoped custom fields, essentially.
That being said if you're talking about custom fields like ACF provides, I would argue it's not the job of the page builder. The CMS should create the data structure, and provide the data, while Builderius or any other page builder is the presentation layer (think, storing data in Airtable, and presenting it with Webflow). Now, with WordPress sadly the CMS doesn't offer a ton of features on that front... but that's why plugins such as ACF, Metabox and ACPT exist. But it's an entirely different ballpark to create that vs. a presentation layer, and I'm personally glad the Builderius team isn't trying to reinvent the wheel - they have enough on their plate as it is.
@@bluetheredpanda thanks for your comment...as i said im very new to this world until now i can't see what differ this builder from something like bricks to be honest.
This builder or bricks are working smart by eliminating the use of multiple plugin in the other builders like elementor or divi ... instead of having loop query it is already built-in
My suggestion was combining the frequent used plugin so have a smoother workflow..
I cant see any reason for builder to include predefined classes like ACSS or core framework in their builder.
However,
I understand that cms isnt the builders main goal but it should be to be honest. At the end of the day, the builder main goal is to provide smoother work environment..
Also idk why until now no body created comperhensive solution for page building.. i can solution for hosting ( include secuirity, web hosting, domain etc) .. but noting about building.
Im sure any company has mastered all aspect of building, will skyrocket ... all ecommerce plugin, LMS will be templete
😅 i know i have no idea how those works but seems working in my head lol ... to be honest thats why most of people move to something easier like wix studio , it has most of nasseccary components for majority of site types
Don't worry. Builderius is strategically built to grow with you. It will allow you to build using simple methods, and when you are ready to use more advanced features... they will be there for you.
Foe example, you can totally just use classes and elements themselves and design like that. If complex selectors are not needed ... don't use them 😄
Looks great!
Thank you, if you find some gotchas... or get stuck ... do not hesitate to hit us with a message, comment, or something ... this is the moment users have a very big influence on how it develops
wow looking good!
Thanks, try it out, tell us if you get stuck somewhere, or ask for a feature you would like to see
Btw this video needs a lot more LIKES ❤❤❤
Good Job!
Thanks man, take it for a spin, tell us what you think
Looks a lot like Bricks Builder!
It's supposed to feel familiar ... many unique things though 😉
Is it possible to create regular and multi-step forms in Builderius?
Pro version has powerful forms builder, so yes. However, the pro is currently not compatible with the new alpha release. After this alpha release (which is alpha of the future free version), it is stable. We move to the development of the new pro version.
Nice. !
Thanks, appreciated
Is the pricing is Lifetime deal?
Yes, both are lifetime deals
Where's the WPGraphQL?
All dynamic data is served via GraphQL. When you pull a post title, GraphQL query is ran. When you pull a posts array, GraphQL query is ran. So .... everywhere 😉
If you are looking to craft your own queries, that is going to have to wait a bit, as that will be a pro only feature. This alpha is primarily a demo of our future free version and that is naturally a more limited one. Although still powerful enough to build a simple site or blog completely. Hope this clarifies
Looks very 'Bricks'ish. Hmm..
Hmm... will take it as a compliment atm)
I am a student i cant take it really with this prices😢
Alpha shows all the features that are going to be included in the free version. How about that. Start with it and go from there. And tell us how it goes.
@@Builderius ok is there a link
@@Abdeenn Please visit: builderius.io/alpha/ to get your copy. It was mentioned in video description
3rd world countries like me cant afford such high pricing
Hi, we get it. However, I hope it is clear that all you saw in this video is a free version of the software? How about that price?
