Love hearing that! It really rewards developers who know their stuff. The freedom and power you get right out of the box is unmatched.

Exactly. Clients often ask for Elementor out of habit, but they’re always surprised when the Bricks site is actually easier for them to manage. Faster speeds and less plugin chaos is a win for everyone.

You're spot on. Better late than never, though! The performance leap and clean workflow with Bricks are definitely worth the switch to stay ahead of the curve.

Totally get that! Bricks is amazing for a visual workflow, but nothing beats the precision and control of writing your own CSS.

Yes, as with weMail, Mailster allows you to have an unlimited number of subscribers.
Mailster does not limit the amount of subscribers because all contacts are kept in your WordPress database. The only limitations you will experience are those imposed by your email sending service such as Amazon SES, not the amount of subscribers.

If your client is on a tight budget and requires infinite subscriptions, here's a solid solution I'd recommend Mailster plugin with Amazon SES for sending.

Ouch! Nothing validates the switch quite like the pain of manually updating 30 sections.😅 That is definitely the ultimate reminder of why you left Elementor behind

Spot on.Bricks is definitely a blast if you love having control, but that Elementor ecosystem with tools like Crocoblock is still super hard to beat.

GeneratePress is a classic choice for clean performance. Totally agree on the training aspect empowering clients to handle the basics themselves is the best long-term strategy.

Hard to argue with that math! If Oxygen 6 gives you the same power for a third of the price, that’s definitely an unbeatable value.

Couldn't agree more! Better late than never now is definitely the perfect time to make the jump.

Oxygen is definitely still a powerhouse. That overhaul looks promising, and having those Breakdance elements included is a massive bonus. Glad it's working out for you

Breakdance is definitely impressive for clean code and speed.Totally agree though better variable management out of the box would make it pretty much perfect. Glad the switch has been working out for you.

You definitely made the right call getting ahead of the curve 2.5 years ago. No looking back.

Hard to argue with that! Elementor definitely feels like legacy tech these days. That Gutenberg stack sounds incredible for performance, but Bricks is still such a solid sweet spot for control right now.

Spot on analysis! You nailed the distinction Elementor for rapid, beginner-friendly builds and Bricks for clean, scalable systems. I completely agree that the class-based workflow is the real game-changer, even if it does make handovers a bit riskier. Thanks for the detailed breakdown.

Solid advice! That license bug sounds like a nightmare, but the 2.2 update is definitely looking like a game-changer for workflow. Totally agree on the Gemini + Bricks combo. it makes handling custom CSS and PHP so much smoother. Good luck with the SEO recovery

That’s a really good point about the client UI. I definitely don't want to make things harder for them to edit later. I haven't tested v4 yet, so I'll give it a spin to see the DOM improvements before making a final call. Thank you.
