A couple of websites I made with Bricks in 2025 ⭐

Showcase

Hello everyone,

2025 is almost over and it is time for another what projects/websites I made this year with bricks builder topic :slight_smile:

Again I will only post some of it.

If you didn’t see my 2024 topic check it here > A couple of websites I made with Bricks in 2024.

Here are some of the sites/projects I made in 2025 and their stories:

This year thanks to SNN-BRX I eliminated tons of plugins from every project I made.
Before I was regularly using pods for fields and post types, cookie plugin, redirect plugin, 404 logs plugin, role manager plugin, smtp plugin, seo plugin, snippets plugin, mail logs plugin…and more.

No more context switch and countless plugin installs.

All of them slowly but surely got eliminated with my SNN-BRX this year. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I LOVE IT :growing_heart: It took me one year to get the snn-brx to this level. Completely worth it.

I enabled my github support profile If my projects saves you time and money consider supporting. Thank you to everyone who helped to the project this year.

Geopard Stack: Bricks + SNN-BRX + Motion.page + WPML

Ok I am happy to say our agency site soul has been saved.
It took me some time to find spare time for it to save from hellementor but finally I managed to do it. Managers didnt want me waste time on but who cares rules are meant to be broken sometimes :slight_smile:

Now our agency site is faster, safer, better, easier to manage and high quality.
All of the projects are mentioned here are from our agency. Except my own personal projects of course.

Techhub Stack: Bricks + SNN-BRX + SEOPress + WPML

efs is my favorite project from this year.

Design is great and the implementation was fun.

On the job listing page I implemented a very simple twig php like templating in bricks with js. Jobs offcanvas get populated from a third-party xml/api everything native bricks just a little bit of native .js for the populating content from fetched xml that’s it. when I was making this project api/json query possibility didnt existed so if we need to do something similar we can just use bricks new api query feature :slight_smile:

Mega menu is custom like almost any mega menu I make I usualy make it completely custom and not use bricks menu element since mega menu gets hidden on mobile and mobile menu has to be seperately made anyway so complete design control is always more important when it comes to mega menus. But there are so many ways to make mega menus with bricks I love it.

Check the site. It is great.

Here is a valuable tip & trick for anyone reading who uses snn-brx.
I use custom dashboard widget on client projects like this. This helps the clients if they need to go to a wp-admin place regularly easier. This eliminates some training too they can see the most important stuff instantly when they login to dashboard.

Fuchs-Kaiser Stack: Bricks + SEOPress + PODS + Complianz + Bricksable + 301 Redirects

This started in 2024 my SNN-BRX didnt even existed. That’s why I had to use some plugins :slight_smile:

This is a typical theme with most of the work we do in Germany. EVERYTHING MOVES SLOW O_O

I like this site. Our designer made a good work on it, very minimalist, simple and looks nice to read and browse it.

Baggy Stack: Bricks + SNN-BRX + WooCommerce + SEOPress + WPML and 15 Other WooCommerce Addons (well client loves to install stuff cant help)

BAGGY was a Shopify ecommerce site before we saved them from the Shopify ecosystem trap and rebuilt and redesigned their site.

Woo solutions are much easier or free to find compared to shopify :wink:

Open Source and Freedom :fire:

tragbar Stack: Bricks + SNN-BRX + WooCommerce + SEO and 3 WooCommerce Addons

Another WooCommerce site.

This is actually both a normal website and ecommerce shop together.
There are multiple locations and multiple main categories tragbar sells. That’s the reason for it.

The shop side is still getting more updates but just recently it went live finaly.

I like the sleek design on this one.

Göckelesmaier Stack: Bricks + SNN-BRX + GSAP + SEOPress

This was a crazy project.

Tons of GSAP animations, weird designs, weird interactions, tons of micro animations, lottie animations, scroll animations, hover animations, click interactions and loop animations… O_O

it was crazy but was a chaotic+fun project. I liked it.

All the animations you guys see on this site were made with SNN-BRX nothing else :slight_smile: It pushed some limits of my features. I almost bailed and installed motion.page but thankfully I managed to make everything client wanted.

WIGO Stack: Bricks + SNN-BRX + SEOPress + WooCommerce + and 3 Woo Addons

Lets finish with this one.

I loved working on this one. It was a rebuild project because it was made with hellementor. There was 40+ something plugins. It was ugly for sure.

Anyway this site is WooCommerce too but for now it is only working as SKU Ordering. Payments and Stocks are not enabled yet. This site gone from 40 plugin down to 9 :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Coded lots of custom solutions as well and pushed the bricks query/filter system to the limits. Definitly check some of the main pages to see advanced bricks query and filter setups.

Well again the list can continue but I have to stop somewhere :smiley:

Last year I talked about some plans to make my workflow better and make snn-brx better. I am happy to say snn-brx has become great and even better than I have planned.

Hundreds of developers and agencies started using snn-brx. I didn’t see that coming but it was fun to see it grow fast.

This created some problems for me as well :smiley:
I had to implement the auto update system from github to make easy and safe updates. I had to make the theme much more stable. Hundreds of bug fixes are made. Project definitly grew out from my imagination to nice community project for sure.

This is what I love about open source.
If snn-brx were a premium theme, I doubt I would have dedicated myself to making it this much better.

Thankfully we have AI now as well :growing_heart:

So what is next in 2026 ?

– Well I will continue to use the bricks builder of course bricks builder 2.0 and 2.2 are HUGE updates next year will be even more fun to make websites with bricks builder.

So I would like to congratulate the bricks builder team for the 2025 updates. The team doing great job. Bringing great features from some proven methods and fixing most important pain points of the bricks builder.

@Matej @thomas @charaf @timmse
Thank you for the all great work :growing_heart:

– SNN-BRX will continue to get better I already have some more roadmap features planned.

– Started working on my wordpress and bricks builder course site hopefully that will be ready to launch early 2026. This will be the biggest project I have every made. It is going to be hard but this is a long term project it is fine.

SNN.Academy is the name. I changed my mind 4 times hopefully this is the last domain/name I will pick :rofl:

Yes this course+membership setup will be made Bricks Builder and SNN-BRX mostly :slight_smile:

– This year I created tons of plugins and web solutions.

Hopefully I will continue to make them and keep sharing them in 2026 as well.

I am sure my new course site will take tons of my time but I dont see myself stoping at all.

Using AI feels like a superpower for me

Cool websites!

One minor thing I noticed. This probably won’t happen to normal people, just degenerates with ultrawide screens, but there one of the elements is not full width?

The child theme is really good; it helps you reconsider which plugins you actually need. For example, ACF isn’t necessary anymore.

100%.
There are edge cases you may need grouped repeaters but I always say if you need grouped repeaters that means you need post type+fields. solving everything with fields is just bad structure.
I love how snn-brx fields forces people to think this way if i added grouped repeaters support I bet people wouldnt even think about it.

Thank you.
It was a nice project since client was using shopify I had to put the bar little bit high.

Vielen Dank, dir auch.

Your Youtube-Video Understanding Post Types, Taxonomies, Custom Fields, Repeaters and Bricks Builder opens my eyes.

And after ChatGPT confirmed the following regarding grouped repeaters in ACF, namely that they internally mean:

  • Serialized or fragmented postmeta entries
  • No real SQL joins
  • No effective index usage
  • Heavy PHP parsing
  • Increased memory footprint with complex data structures
  • → measurably slower performance

So, ACF is history and your solution replaced it.

Is your last image from github? If so, do you connect all your sites with github? And what is your workflow?

image1153×264 14.4 KB

yes.

I develop my themes and plugins on github and when people need to update my theme they can get the update from github automaticly

you know how to install plugins and themes from wordpress.org right ? and how you get updates?

exacly the same thing only it is happening from github instead of w.org

15

Aah okay, I though those contributions are also from you building the websites for clients. I’d like to have it visual to myself hon which days I build the most and contribute the most.

16

Nice.

I have made a tool/plugin to track my projects btw.

Hi @sinanisler ,
I wanted to ask you for some advice.
From what I can see, you’re not using any CSS framework.
Are you really relying only on Bricks’ native CSS definitions.

Cheers

André

Yes :slight_smile:

Bricks has eliminated most of these frameworks by implementing some features natively. Classes, Variables, Colors, Components, Advanced Styles…and more.

CSS Frameworks are overrated.

I love CSS. I don’t mind creating my custom styles/classes for each design and we have to do it anyway starting on every project.

People are lazy they just want a magic tool to solve their all possible needs but thats just a utopia dream :slight_smile:

Why?
There are multiple reasons for it, but importing/generating unnecessary thousands of classes/variables are just a waste of space and creates confusion, nothing else. It cant even solve everything why bother?
Especially when you get a professional design like Figma or Sketch, etc., and you start to build that, all of those classes/variables and auto-generated majority of them become useless because every DESIGN are UNIQUE…

Instead of using a CSS framework or library of classes, the first thing I do when I start any design is:

  • Create clamp viewport/responsive size-xxx variables, and these variables can be used everywhere
  • Create classes for big styles like some buttons, some hover effects, some big sections with custom backgrounds or gradients, etc. (styles that are too compact should be custom classes)
  • Stuff that is exactly the same on every page should be just a COMPONENT, nothing else

I will teach this stuff on my snn.academy soon. This is why I decided to create my academy, because so many people think they know shit, but they don’t. Most people who say “they know shit” are either just trying to sell their products or they are dreaming a parallel reality…

Although ChatGPT keeps advising me to continue using ACSS, I’m leaning toward your perspective.
I’ll try to see how far I can get with Bricks 2.2 and native CSS declarations.

In any case, thank you very much for your detailed explanation.

All the best to you.

before 1.9 bricks didnt have any Classes, Variables, Colors, Components, Advanced Styles …and more features.

Ofcourse it did makes sense back then recommending or using frameworks but not anymore.

even kevin started slowly killing acss for a reason…
