Hi,
I’m working on my first site is bricks.
Before, I worked on www.incrementors.com/ in web development & now, I’m making my own website. I think it’s a big start.
Bricks is a great theme. I was able to put it together pretty quickly, and the support from StudioPress has been fantastic as well.
I didn’t find it very hard to learn the CMS. I found it to be easy and very flexible. I love the themeing of the site, which allows me to change colors, appearance of elements, etc.
