Works on every theme

Brix can be activated on any post type. By default, it works for pages, but easy controls can make it work in other contexts as well, such as posts, portfolio items or even products.

No coding required, yet developer friendly

Brix allows you to visually compose any page or layout you can imagine with a grid-based, easy interface, without touching a single line of code.

Brix is friendly to developers too: the code is clean, efficient and well documented.

FAST!

Page builders can be slow, and nobody likes heavy plugins that slow down your website. Brix is different. Content generated by Brix is constantly optimized to only load the thing that you need, the moment you need them; Brix works great with caching systems, but even without any of them, the simple fact that it doesn’t rely on shortcodes, makes it quick to render.

Advanced Grid System

With Brix interface, you can precisely control even the tiniest detail of your design in a professional way thanks to the most advanced grid management system ever created.

  • Padding and margin controls. You can control spacing for every element on every device by using px, em, % or the unit you need.
  • Special column structures. Combine full width section layouts or take advantage of the unique special section feature, and quickly adjust a row’s column structure with just a couple of clicks.
  • Quickly split & merge columns. Adjust the row columns layout with just one click thanks to the innovative live split/merge controls.

SEO ready

You have full control over the markup that is generated by Brix. It’s up to you to choose the heading structure, and whether to use section tags or not; also, Brix works great with major WordPress SEO plugins like YOAST.

Built to grow

Brix has been designed to be modular and scalable and it can be extended with additional functionality and components with no hassle.
