"Master one thing at a time!"... This is great advice. It's so easy to get caught up with new builders and tech out there.
Gotta watch out for the ‘Shiny Eye Syndrome’, though I got to admit I’m guilty of it at times 😂
Simple but so true
I'm using elementor from 2017, and I like the wealth of 3rd party plugins that helps me to achieve almost anything I want without a coding (not a master of that one..,). But couple a days ago I tried to do GSAP horizontal scroll on elementor elements (not putting everything in HTML element, which works ok) and I found out that that is not a simple task.. At all. The main problem is elementor frontend css code itself, and that code can't be omitted from the webpage. I tried this with the bricks (first time bricks user) and the result was fantastic - the animation worked without a problem, just like with the plain html. css and js! So I decided to dive deeper into the bricks ecosystem and use it for project that requires complex animations. Not leaving the elementor entirely, though, because I developed my business around elementor and it will take some time to make complete switch..
As Karipos said below, global classes is what you need to use. It’s way more powerful than Elementor’s method and is used is almost all the other page & site builders for WP. 🤘🏻
The hover method is a bit of a PITA and not the most intuitive until you get used to it.
I think a great video would be "What are the use cases that you see for bricks builder?" or "When is Bricks Builder a better fit than Elementor"
Would love to know more about it!
Thanks for the video!
Nice video!
Setting up global styles for your typography (or anything ) is easy using CSS utility classes. So basically as one coming from Elementor, you'll need to acclimatize with using classes heavily to enjoy using Bricks.
Huge con for elementor is not having a lifetime option, I hate subscription model for software. Bricks will I think get tons of users for this sole reason, not everybody want to pay every year for a website which don't need that much updates. Plus crocoblock seems to be more and more integrated with bricks, so mark my words ;)
Great video!
About the global styling for typography, you should use classes. It's one of the most powerful feature for every type of global styling and there is no limitation. Just apply a class style it one time and you can reuse it
Cool! I knew an experienced Brick user had a solution! Before El had globals I created my own with css and just added the class to each title and text widget. I have a feeling it’s something similar but more efficient with Bricks. I’ll be testing the globals with classes next. Cheers!
Very meaningful video, thank you. There are already vloggers who encourage the switch to Bricks, even though they are well aware that it is still a fairly new tool, although it has great potential. I'm interested in Bricks, but I judge with caution, I am not in a hurry to make decisions, although there are things I don't like about Elementor, but for today it is one of the best solutions. As you say, Bricks can be one of the tools in your toolbox. We'll see what tomorrow brings
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. Really have high hopes for bricks!
Looking forward to our discussion on this :)
Same here!!
Excellent insight to your experience. I too am an avid Elementor user, I picked up Brick (on launch day) and have been waiting for it to mature before I jump in. It seems like that time is almost here.
yea its already there 🎉
Great video!
Automatic CSS, wpcodebox and plaster plugin make life so much easier with Bricks. I would look at these for future child theme bricks blueprint
Hi Jeff, Would you say its an easy learning curve coming accross from webflow to bricks builder? Also, does it offer an easy way to embed animations such as gsap?
Great breakdown on Bricks! It definitely seems like a "Webflow" but for Wordpress sites. But yes definitely will need some more development. I like the fact that it has kinda more of a "developer mindset" interface, which helps you not loos things youve learned with CSS.
After trying Elementor for a month I would like to try Bricks to see how it works first hand.
Great video. Fair and honest expression of your experience. I'm staying with Elementor but will be playing with Bricks too but still to play with it.
Sounds like a good plan
Great overview! We are also in the process of experimenting with Bricks. We love it so far!
Same here!
As a non-coder Divi user, this is exactly what I felt when trying out Bricks.
In my cart...for soon...
I'm hoping Elementor gets there sh@t together and changes with the times before it's too late.
I’m sure El is listening 👂
As an Elementor user this is so interesting.
Definitely staying with Elementor but you never know what happens in the future. Always good to know you can learn anything, probably would take a week off just learning if I HAD to switch. :D
One issue I see is: It'd be even harder for clients who wanna change things on their website later themselves.
Hey, I'd highly suggest you to look at 'page builder 101' by kevin geary. Not suggesting you to switch but you should be aware of the limitations and proper methods regardless of the page builder you use. I completed the playlist and it changed my entire outlook of web development
@Lytbox I feel like you and I are at a similar level and use Elementor in similar ways. I am wondering if you've had your mind blown by Dynamic Content for Elementor like I have recently. JetEngine is powerful but DCE is next level. It opens up so many new possibilities I didn't know about, and let's me build much smarter sites than I could before.
Same to me and Love DCE but sumetimes it slows the Page down if you don’t deactivate Funktions. And Sometimes it’s hard to get it work Luke i want it to. Hat It Takes Elementor to Another Level.
If you like Bricks Builder so far, consider Automatic CSS for a great framework for responsive utility classes. :)
Curious bro, how are the dynamic styling options (animations, transitions, parallax etc) in Bricks?
Still wondering about this bro…?
I’m not sure why they aren’t using grid instead. Flexbox has its issues and is normally only used now for inner content because it cannot create row column combination layouts. I haven’t used any page builders either so I don’t know how much goes into creating one myself.
Grid is coming up next for Bricks! Both have their advantages.
@@LytboxStudio grid I guess would be difficult for no n developers to understand. Given chrome & Firefox tools have the ability to show grid column and rows. Flexbox can only do one dimension layouts. Personally as a developer I cannot get used to the bloated layouts visual editors produce. That and I’ve since moved into the 3D space with three.js which has its own issues embedding that into a Wordpress site.
Switching from Elementor to Bricks. 250$ lifetime is a nobrainer for me. I never liked the UI from divi, but Bricks is just sexy.
250? it says 600 on the pricing section for lifetime
Bricks is what I wanted Oxygen to be. Going full Bricks going forward. While I really do like Elementor something about it never really gelled for some reason, can't even explain it.
Bricks is a class first builder! But ACSS will help with that a lot.
the classes PB101 from Kevin Geary are great to get to know bricks and how to build smart websites ( free here on RUclips)
I am going to switch to bricks soon.
Curious Jeffrey if any more fond of and using Bricks compared to other page builders today?
I'd like to hear your review of Elementor vs. Breakdance - beyond price.
One year on since the video, any changes in your opinions since the changes?
Yep, it’s harder to go back to Elementor after working heavily on Bricks, there are something’s bricks does in their UI that makes the workflow so much smoother. When I jump back into El I find myself clicking sooooo much more 😅
I think your comment that resonates most for me is that using Bricks is a pleasurable experience. There's something that makes it just feel good.
Your opinion of gloabls is interesting, personally I find the Elementor global settings a real pain, the Bricks ones make a lot more sense! But when it comes to fluid typography what the guys at Breakdance has done is really good.
Looking forward to your Live with Imran!
Which one would you pick from now on?
What about breakdance builder? Could you review it?
Coming up next! I’ve been using Bricks a lot more and just completed a client project with it. I’ll have an updated review coming and then going to look at BD
@@LytboxStudio love that 🙌 I can't wait since I really consider switching into Breakdance with my simple woocommerce stores.
Elementor has my full support but I'm tired of clients websites getting broken. IF elementor doesn't fix bugs and polish current widgets, I'm moving to Bricks for sure. Elementor support is non existence as well...
I Never broke a Client Website After Elementor update to last Two Years. But i heard from wp-tuts that bricks did. on some updates. Tests why i am afraid id using Client Websites.
@@sgo7806 I heard the same. Bricks is going to take too long to develop so I'm just going to stick with Elementor. But maybe only use Bricks for Woocomerce sites.
@@smeagoltheunrealdeviant9357 But Woo does it make much more problematic because if there something brakes, a shop brakes, not a website.. ;-)
@@sgo7806 True. That's why I don't sell woocommerce in sites in a hurry lol
I'm pretty sure this has to do with plugins, addons and themes. I never have any issues (same theme, little well-knowm plugins, no elementor addons).
You hit the nail on the head with “master your tools.”
Great explanation of the product! As you very well noted, it’s about what’s going to work for the client’s project to deliver the desired results!
For me, I’ll be glad when the devs of all the builders deliver more in their core products without the need for endless 3rd party plug-ins!
For right now in my stack, Divi, Bricks, and Elementor are my lean of products!
Do you recommend using gpl licence elementor some guy is selling for $5
No don’t use GPL
Does it sound like the honest thing to do?
As a general rule in life you should never buy anything from “some guy selling it for $5”
@@LytboxStudio asked cause i can't afford premium one sir as of now just started.
Funny, you don't even get into the DOM issues with Elementor vs Bricks? I'm actually surprised you are even still using Elementor.
wow "we chose on the project where we use it" there is a ted talk
Again 1st comment 😍😘🥰
Much 💜💪🙏
Good Video but I would have Liked to See a better comparison but Not this much you talking and Not showing anything. Have a good one. :)
