design & dev

I just bought Brixies

Date posted: August 28, 2025

Recently, I was approached by a client in need of a company website redesign. The new website needs to be up and ready within three days for their exhibition. The client was pretty easygoing and totally trusted my decisions regarding the design, including what font or color to use. The website needs to be modern, easy to navigate, use the company branding, and showcase their product.

After the design was approved, I jumped straight into the development process. I only have two days to finish the website, upload the products, put it on a staging site for review, and then launch it on the official domain. There are around five pages to develop and make responsive, plus editing the product pictures, watermarking them, and uploading them onto the site. I use Bricks, so either I have to find a template that resembles my design—which I couldn’t find one that fits my standards—or hire a Bricks developer I’ve never met before and hope they will deliver a good product in a timely manner.

Both options carry their own risks and could be a real time-waster compared to me just doing it myself. That’s when I came across Brixies. Brixies is a BricksBuilder design library with sections and elements that I can copy and paste into my projects. It’s already built responsively, so it will save a lot of time. It takes advantage of Advanced Themer as well, which is a plus since I already have it in my tech stack. I bought a yearly subscription for $99 and got to work.

I had to import Brixies’ Bricks and Advanced Themer variables and classes, overriding my own system for the design to work properly. That’s a bit of a downside since it’s importing a lot of stuff I don’t know, making troubleshooting and maintaining the website more difficult. I also found it harder to adjust the spacing, colors, and fonts to my design to ensure consistency throughout the website. There were also unexpected stylings in the imported classes and copied sections/elements from Brixies. I had to dig around with inspector tools to figure out which properties were prioritized. Those are pretty much the only downsides, though. Brixies does help build the website much faster, and I can rely on it to be responsive. They have a vast library filtered by sections, layouts, and elements to choose from, so I can quickly change and try what works for me and this project. Some sections and elements even have micro-interactions or animations with CSS code that I can learn from. They even provide their own Figma file, which will help me wireframe and come up with mid-fi designs faster. Just for the web design library with filters on their website, along with the Figma file, the investment is worth it. I can’t wait to dig deeper and utilize Brixies for future projects.
