The Bricks ecosystem, curated
Bricks alone covers a lot — but the ecosystem around it is what makes it a complete build system. These are the tools we actually use in client work: custom fields, performance, SEO, forms, media and workflow.
Every tool here is one we've used on real projects. If we haven't tried it, we don't list it.
Bricks Builder
Core
The page builder itself — theme and visual editor in one. Clean output, dynamic data, no lock-in. This whole site runs on what it produces.
ACF
Fields
The most widely used custom fields plugin. Modern UI, huge ecosystem, and the natural first partner for Bricks dynamic data.
Meta Box
Fields
Custom fields with a cleaner architecture than ACF for some projects, plus built-in settings pages, custom table storage and more.
BricksLabs
Addon
The hub for advanced Bricks tips, snippets and add-ons. If you hit a Bricks limit, someone here has already solved it.
Bricksextras
Addon
Third-party components that fill Bricks gaps — filters, lightboxes, cards and more. Built by people who live inside Bricks.
Automatic CSS
Workflow
A CSS framework layer for Bricks that turns design tokens into a maintainable system. Pairs with the Color & Style Manager.
Perfmatters
Performance
Disable unused scripts, delay JS, control assets page-by-page. The fastest way to keep a Bricks site at 95+ PageSpeed.
Slim SEO
SEO
Lightweight SEO plugin — meta, sitemaps, schema — without the bloat of the big suites. Plays nice with Bricks templates.
WS Form
Forms
Modern form builder with good conditional logic and clean output. A solid choice when Bricks built-in forms hit their limit.
HappyFiles
Media
The best media library organizer for WordPress — drag-and-drop folders and categories. Keeps large Bricks sites sane.
