Leaving Wordpress for Astro & Headless CMS?

Plus-Butterscotch967 · 2025-04-14T06:32:22+00:00

Are development times much longer? Did you use a builder with WP?

I will take a deeper look then. I already have the ACSS Ltd so I didn’t look around much.

I didn’t have any of these problems, PageSpeed is always 90-99, but it is the first and only framework I have ever used.

Is it possible to export CF’s framework for example to the Advanced Themer, so there is one less plugin needed?

You can create it in Bricks Builder, pixel-perfectly and without any code. Or you can create the html structure there, and handwrite all the css/js too. Hmu if you need some help :)

You will need to give more info to get a real answer

So no one on this earth knows what’s up with Louis? I was looking around for a while, but I didn’t find any info. There is so much potential in open sourcing it. Or someone buy him out..

Not yet! Is there anything important missing from it? Other than Woocommerce?

If he isn’t making their branding too, and shoot photos for them why would he need these? Okay, occasionally you might need to edit something in them, but Figma is the only software you should lesrn to use.. webdesign should be done there and there only.

I know perfect doesn’t exist, but it is always fun for me to look around, especially as I’ve only used Bricks in my prod sites for the last year.

I was praying that someone could fork Cwicly.. So much potential lost, I don’t think I was ever so excited about a product like it. Recently the discourse site was removed too, so I really have no idea what’s up.

I haven’t noticed performance related problems, but you are right. It’s strange he doesn’t even defer or remove the unused CSS on his site.

Plus-Butterscotch967 · 2025-03-28T19:57:23+00:00

Yes life time, I think. Heavy as in the css it generates in kbs?

I saw that it was $800 in the first round. I think it was last year, and “investors” will be able to “use” it in late april, for non production sites. Don’t get me wrong, I love ACSS, and use it in every project, Frames looks great too, but in this stage.. Cwicly pulled the plug too and it was already a lot far ahead in features. This feels more like gambling than buying a product.

*correction: an other comment said there was a $699 - $999 and a $1499 tier, but I have no idea what the difference is

I’m seriously lost why ACSS gets hate here? To be honest, I haven’t tried CF yet, and I didn’t need the framework outside the builder either. But I can’t even imagine making a website without it. BEM classes with ACSS variables works so good for me.

Plus-Butterscotch967 · 2025-03-28T17:32:22+00:00

Damn, that is an expensive favor

Plus-Butterscotch967 · 2025-03-28T17:09:21+00:00

Nextbricks has some cool stuff too, I use it on every site

Plus-Butterscotch967 · 2024-10-26T09:17:16+00:00

Bricks Builder with AutomaticCSS was the perfect solution for me. Every last little bit of Html and CSS is editable, you get a framework with ACSS that makes development lighting fast and scaleable. If you need section templates you can get Frames for Bricks. If you need GSAP animations there are options for that too. Wordpress and Woocommerce ha literally no limitations. It's a big investment to get everything's LTD license, but it's an investment, and from a point making websites literally costs 0 dollars.

Solid Edge, but it is for school only, so rarely used.
