What is Bricks Builder?
The WordPress theme that finally made fast sites easy
Bricks is a WordPress theme with a visual page builder built in — no plugins on top, no bloat underneath. Where Elementor and Divi sit on top of a default theme and inject their own code, Bricks is the theme. The result: clean semantic HTML, dramatically less CSS and JS, and PageSpeed scores in the 90s on hosting that couldn't break 70 before.
- Built for performance — a fraction of the CSS/JS Elementor ships, no jQuery dependency
- Dynamic data built in — Query Loop, custom fields and WooCommerce without writing PHP
- One-time $99/year — the theme, builder, dynamic data and WooCommerce support, no per-site fees
- Clean output, future-proof — content stays portable, and migrating to Astro or headless later is straightforward
