Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 2 of the 55 other website and landing page builders we grade
Bricks is a theme for self-hosted WordPress that adds a visual builder for pages, headers, popups, menus and WooCommerce shops. Every plan has the full feature set; plans differ only in how many sites a license covers and whether it renews yearly or is paid once. It is aimed at people who want class-based styling, query loops and custom code alongside the visual editor.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Bricks, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No rating on record, and it needs your own self-hosted WordPress.
- 1
Best for a visual builder as a WordPress theme
It has no downloadable trial, and every live site needs its own license activation.
- 2
Paid plans start at $6.58 a month when paid by the year
As its pricing page puts it: $79 per year for 1 website.
- 3
You can try it first
No downloadable demo; a free online playground at try.bricksbuilder.io needs an account.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Visual builder with 149 elements
Pages are built from elements with class-based styling, global variables and palettes, and custom breakpoints for responsive layouts.
- 6
Query loop builder
Pull posts, taxonomies and other database content onto a page visually, or write a PHP query, with load-more and infinite scroll.
- 7
Popup, menu and WooCommerce builders
Mega menus, popups and the shop, cart, checkout and account pages can be designed inside the builder.
- 8
A 1.8 GPA, above 2 of 55
That is against the other website and landing page builders we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Bricks you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for a visual builder as a WordPress theme
Bricks is a WordPress theme with a visual builder, from $79 a year for 1 site or $599 once. It has no downloadable trial, and every live site needs its own license activation.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | $79 a year for 1 website, about $6.58 a month, inside the cheaper quarter ($7.42). The $599 lifetime plan costs more than two years of the middle price. |
| Free plan and trial | D | There is no downloadable demo; a free online playground needs an account, and a 60-day money-back guarantee is not a trial. |
| Features | C | A full builder with the same features on every plan, though it is WooCommerce only for stores. |
| Ease of use | D | No rating on record, and it needs your own self-hosted WordPress. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | WordPress only, with WooCommerce listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Bricks is for
- Fits if you run WordPress and want a visual builder as your theme
- Works for agencies that need unlimited sites on one license
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want hosting included, as hosting and domain are separate
- Not for you if you want to try it on your own site first, because there is no downloadable demo
- Watch out: if a subscription lapses, updates, support and templates stop
- Tight if you run many live sites: each needs its own license activation
- Pricey if you want one price forever: Ultimate Lifetime is $599
Good to know
Good for
- WordPress freelancers and agencies licensing many client sites
- Developers who want class-based styling and custom code beside a visual editor
- Buyers who want a one-time lifetime option
Worth knowing
- It runs only on self-hosted WordPress; hosting and a domain are bought separately.
- If a subscription is cancelled, updates, support and community templates stop, though sites keep working.
- Every live WordPress install needs its own license activation, including each subsite of a multisite; local and staging sites do not count.
- A 60-day money-back guarantee is stated on the pricing page.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Bricks you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 50 of the 55 other website and landing page builders grade higher. It costs $79 a year.
What you could make
- Templates and popups: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Bricks’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
