Currently, I have seen almost no large e-commerce websites built with Bricks in the forum’s showcase.
I am very curious to what extent Bricks can build a WooCommerce e-commerce website. Can it be more beautiful and perform better than WoodMart?
I’m also curious whether Bricks will add more WooCommerce e-commerce related optimizations and features in the future.
There are people who sell pretty Bricks-WooCommerce themes already to go.
Performance for a large store and a busy site will be limited by your hosting. However there are still ways to speedup WooCommerce database access and it has nothing to do with a theme or builder.
Building your own theme from Bricks, from scratch, starts with making the basic templates, which I already have done here and fixed all the CSS bugs in the default theme. This uses grid query loops for product displays on every template. https://bricksresources.com
However, Bricks has elements to place in the templates, that already do the display without making your own query loops, but you would sill need to use a lot of custom CSS and use some hooks to do something with the elements/templates to go far from the default layout and look.
Once you get the basic installed, you have a lot of work ahead of you to make it look good. You are probably still going to have to know far more than you want to know, to get it looking good with Bricks. So you would probably want to buy a pretty, pre-made Bricks theme (templates) to use on it.
It looks like to me, there is not much reason not to buy WoodMart and use it instead. If it turns out to be crap, you only wasted $59, and at the moment it is on sale for less than that. It has a lot of people using it and leaving good reviews.
