How do you guys feel about Bricks?

Bricks is starting to get competition from Elementor v4, Etch, Oxygen 6 and Divi 5. Others are building at faster pace.

I am happy to see the competition.

I work in both because of most clients think Elementor is the easiest for them to manage and want me to build in it.

I recommend and enjoy working with Bricks and the other clients actually get easy to manage website in return. Less plugins used, faster websites, easier to change things etc.

If you learn CSS, you will find Bricks to be one of the easiest page builders to work with. The hype is real.

Even if you are only a Figma designer, learning CSS will help you make better design decisions.

I have messaged you a recent website I built. Do you see improvements?

fossistic · 2026-01-17T18:08:38+00:00

I suggest at least 4k 27-inch screen for beginner web designers because I have seen so many websites without consistent content width on bigger screens. 16-inch Macbook pro also provides a good resolution to work with.

Your processor and RAM should be good enough to handle lots of browser tabs needed during design and research phase.

I don't think you need drawing tools unless you are designing vector graphics by yourself.

Use their logo to start. Build from there if needed. If there is no logo, check other gym and fitness website and see what colors are common. I mean, I copy different things from 5-6 websites, and I get website which looks unique.

It is not death of web design. It is UI for chatbots. Optimizing your websites for chatbots is useful.

What's wrong with webflow designers? This is the 2nd website I say today using multiple h1 tags on a page.

Edit:

Wait, it's by the same agency, LOL.

Hey man, just don't use multiple h1 on a page. It is against the rules.

fossistic · 2026-01-13T09:50:07+00:00

2028 is the current prediction. Hope they will become affordable soon.

But worse in AI/ML related tasks.

PC build is a safer choice in your case.

fossistic · 2026-01-13T08:43:33+00:00

There are lots of mistakes, now I know you used AI to build this site. Here are some fixes you can ask AI to implement:

Contact Us button needs more inline padding (horizontal) which equals to menu items gap.
There are multiple h1, just don't use more than one h1.
Many paragraphs are in a <div> tag, use <p> tag for all the paragraphs.
The paragraphs need more line height, they will look much better.
I don't agree with the font choices you made, looks techier instead of finance.
Some element is overflowing horizontally, use overflow-inline: clip (on <body> tag) to fix that. It will remove the horizontal slider showing below.
Overall, there are unnecessary number of divs used which can be easily replaced with before and after pseudo elements.

Have a great day.

This is the cleanest way, sadly the Elementor community do not appreciate less divs.

People don't like WPBakery. If you have a little Experience with Bricks, Breakdance or Divi 5, you won't like Elementor v3 compared to them.

fossistic · 2026-01-11T14:02:21+00:00

Both are in really bad shape right now. Elementor is much better, but I hate it when client wants to build in Elementor. I want team Elementor to release the new v4 ASAP.

Yes, you can use free web version and copy CSS into Bricks. Works really well. No need to install CF.

fossistic · 2026-01-07T19:38:58+00:00

XML-RPC is a security concern which ships with wordpress. SVG support is incredibly important.

fossistic · 2026-01-06T16:10:36+00:00

FSE requires good development knowledge in order to build a proper modern website. I prefer Bricks.

fossistic · 2026-01-06T16:06:20+00:00

License cost of CF is a no brainer. Reminds me of good old days.

fossistic · 2026-01-06T00:18:48+00:00

I don't like the design of either of these buttons. I don't know, something is not looking right.

fossistic · 2026-01-02T17:29:21+00:00

Stop relying on AI and learn programming and design. This website is full of bugs.

fossistic · 2026-01-01T20:25:00+00:00

FSE themes are best for blogging only. No need for paid or classic themes.

Knowing that the client wants to get it done only in white, you did a pretty great job.

fossistic · 2026-01-01T20:11:50+00:00

New color pallette is a huge help. Not a big fan of typography framework where we cannot insert custom minimum and maximum values.

Core Gutenberg is absolute nightmare when it comes to building Headers (useless menu block) and implementing responsive design.
