Great balanced discussion with all the main pros and cons... thanks for this excellent guide.

[rodlivz]

Thank you for mentioning the clients side, this has been my biggest challenge, looking for the best builder or solution for client side editing

[curtismorrow]

Thanks Imran... I'm constantly questioning whether I should make the jump to bricks and your explanation has really helped.

[Aurora-light]

100% agree, Elementor is also constantly getting updated, so they are streamlining it and the hand over to clients is good because we all know clients sometimes mess about with things

Imran, I enjoyed the video and agree with you to a point. Thanks to advice from Paul @WPTuts, I try and look at which tool(s) would be best for the client project; however, if I am the person that is constantly doing the backend updates, there comes a point where enough is enough. The pricing model alone (assuming you compare Elementor Pro vs Bricks) clearly favors one builder over the other. Additionally, I've been stung too many times moving from one upgrade to the next. I do agree with you that as a web developer, I should always consider the best product for the client. Part of that analysis should also include the history of each product a web developer considers. Thanks again for this video. -- P.S. Keep up the Bricks videos 🙂

Excellent way of breaking out the pros and cons of each. We don't have to always have a better or worse one; circumstances or type of usage/user would determine that in each particular case. It's like cars; you can't absolutely say a compact is better than a sports car, each one has its niche and pros/cons.

i am learning bricks - used elementor for years and years.
but i think bricks win with optimization and speed
lifetime license
and more

it's like webflow system but on wordpress which means more possibilites than webflow

[ritzz]

Definitely good points mentioned in the video.
However you missed a few points which I believe are crucial to any web developer that's why I'm leaving elementor for Bricks

1. Semantic code output - Elementor's code output is far from semantic and definitely not in a scalable way like Bricks provide.
2. Accessibility issues - due to lack of semantic tags and lack of aria support elementor is not Accessibility friendly. This mistake can be costly.
3. Class based styling - Elementor doesn't offer class based styling in a scalable way like Bricks does.

Good chat Imran!

I think it’s all about what or which one will benefit the client’s needs the most!

At the end of the day, it’s about which builder delivers the site in the most efficient way to benefit both the client and their user base!

[zerobambiro]

I might give bricks a try. I mean the price is a nobrainer and i like the UI of it alot. And i rather pay once for a builder and miss some features then paying 200$ each year to have the same issue with elementor.

Liked the end of the video!, really difficult bro

[jason-m]

😂😂 a full 60 second advert for Breakdance before your video started, I thought it was the start of your video 😂 I was like 😑 ey?
On a serious note, Elementor loop builder still not production ready.

[RichardWadeUK]

Great vid mate... Get you with the sassy finger snap! 🤣

[GadgetsGearCoffee]

Would be helpful to have visual b roll to accompany the content

[RR-okwz]

@5:19 - this is what I was looking for: how is bricks compared to elementor when it comes to client handoff. That said, how is elementor vs breakdance when it comes to client handoff?

[mariopereira]

Hello !

What plugins do you recommend for optimization in Elementor?

Additionally, ¿What are the “must have” plugins for a website with Elementor for defense and spam?

And ¿What plugin do you use or recommend for SEO?

(Sorry for my English. I’ am from Spain)

[marcosansalone]

How do you handle all the types of options you have in Elementor, even the simple custom codes when you use Bricks Builder?

[Tallbloke]

Sure I saw a feature in Bricksforge where you could customise the builder based on role. I.e. Turn off classes for site editors....

[FemmePir]

Thanks a lot for this great comparison.💜 For the moment I'll stay with Elementor Pro because I agree with you about the easier editing process when the site is handed over to users.
Has your opinion changed with the latest news about Elementor V4, AI, ... ?

[marketingscarborough]

Does bricks have a built in forms like elementor or do we need plugin?
