Bricks Builder Development

Stryx Collective builds WordPress websites with Bricks Builder, a visual site builder that keeps pages light. Stryx pairs Bricks with a CSS framework and custom fields, so a site stays consistent as it grows and your team can edit content without breaking the design. Stryx also builds in Bricks for other agencies.

Why Stryx builds with Bricks

  • Light pages Bricks writes lean markup, which helps pages load quickly.
  • Styled once, used everywhere Styles are set as reusable classes and not on each element, so a change to a button or a heading carries across the site.
  • Content separate from layout Content lives in fields and flows into templates. Editing a property, a service or a team member does not mean touching the design.
  • Room to customise Templates, conditions and custom code are available when a project needs them.

How a Bricks build is put together

  • A CSS framework Automatic.css sets the spacing, type and colour system, so every page follows the same rules.
  • Structured content Custom post types and fields hold content such as properties, services or case studies.
  • Templates and loops One template drives many pages. Add a new item and its page is built for you.
  • Consistent naming Classes follow a naming convention, so another developer can pick the site up and understand it.

The result is a WordPress site that is quick to load and predictable to maintain.

Moving from Elementor or another builder

There is no dependable one-click conversion between page builders. A move to Bricks is a rebuild: the design is rebuilt in Bricks, the existing content is carried across, and URLs are kept or redirected so search visibility is protected.

Stryx has moved client sites from Elementor to Bricks. See website migration for how a move is planned.

Bricks development for agencies

Stryx builds Bricks sites for other agencies on a white-label basis. You supply the designs and the brief, and Stryx builds to them under your brand. Get in touch to talk through how that works.

Ask on WhatsApp
What is Bricks Builder?

Bricks is a visual site builder for WordPress. Pages are designed in the browser, and Bricks produces lean HTML and CSS.

Is Bricks better than Elementor?

It depends on the site. Bricks generally produces lighter pages and gives a developer more control. Elementor has more ready-made add-ons. Stryx builds new WordPress sites in Bricks.

Can you convert my Elementor site to Bricks?

Not automatically. The design is rebuilt in Bricks and your content is carried across, with URLs kept or redirected.

Can I edit a Bricks site myself?

Yes. Day-to-day content is edited in fields in the WordPress admin. Layout changes are made in the builder.

Do you take on white-label Bricks work?

Yes. Stryx builds Bricks sites for other agencies from their designs and briefs.
