Overview
Bricks is a visual site builder for self-hosted WordPress that is distributed as a theme rather than as a plugin; its pricing page refers to the product as the “Bricks theme” licence.[4] There is no downloadable free version, but the vendor offers an online test environment at try.bricksbuilder.io.[4]
Bricks is aimed at developers and design-system-minded agencies. Its site lists drag-and-drop full-site editing with nestable elements, a design system of reusable classes, variables, palettes and theme styles, a visual Query Loop Builder with the option of custom PHP queries, dynamic data, display conditions, interactions, custom code, unlimited custom breakpoints, and builders for WooCommerce pages, menus, forms and popups; experimental AI Abilities let an external AI client create and update pages.[17] Annual plans differ only by number of websites, and an Ultimate Lifetime licence covers unlimited sites with a single payment.[4]
Because Bricks is a theme, it cannot be combined with a separate WordPress theme in the usual way, and switching away from it means changing both the theme and the builder. Its interface assumes some familiarity with CSS concepts, which gives designers fine control but makes it less approachable for beginners than Elementor or Divi.
