A far way from finished. But I love how easy it is to built dynamic and fast pages with Bricks.

I’ve built a snowboarding blog. Check it out on https://sneeuwplankers.nl

I have used Bricks in conjuction with:

  • Metabox for CPT and Relationships
  • WP Gridbuilder for faceting of the brand pages and in the future the filtering of wintersport-areas
  • HappyFiles for ordering and generation of galleries in posts.
  • AutomaticCSS and Frames as framework
  • The SEO Framework

Nice work! I Like a lot the section with tabs that changes background image.
And also highlighting the section I am reading in the article. How did you do it?

I think I would remove the hover animation on home page on articles that moves the headline from left to right and CTA from right to left. For me personaly it looks a bit strange and from UX perspecitve, it’s more difficult to finish reading the headline if a person hovers over it. I would say very soft shadow, soft background change or just moving the CTA to right would do the job.

Thanks, definitely look into the hover animation. Think you are right it could be more subtle.

The section reading is part of the Frames Table of Content component. So works out of the box :slight_smile:
But I do want to look into tweaking it so I can also add sub headings into an accordion, within the toc.

I really like the design!

The only thing I would make different is a larger font. I would bump up all fonts by ~2px maybe with a clamp function to keep it as is on mobile. But with a 4k 40" screen, it feels a tiny bit small (or maybe I’m just getting old :sweat_smile: ).

Nice build! Bricks is definitely great for creating dynamic content quickly, especially for a blog with a lot of structured information.

The combination of Meta Box, WP Gridbuilder, AutomaticCSS, and Frames looks like a solid setup. Since the site is focused on snowboarding, another interesting addition could be real-time snow load monitoring for winter sports facilities and buildings, such as NevoSens, to help monitor roof conditions during heavy snowfall.
