Nice review. I love Brizy Cloud! This has been one of my most used and most valuable LTDs. It's not perfect, but the development is steady, consistent, and continually improves the product. Great experiences with the team behind it too.
Been following Brizy Cloud for a while an almost bought at their regular price on several occasions so this is a no brainer to grab a couple of codes for simpler websites. I liked the idea of the white label though. Pity this is not included.
Solid product - It is missing many important features like ecommerce, advanced animation of elements, automation needs, etc. Nevertheless, the price per site for lifetime deal, from a company than has been in business for a long time, is an incredible value! Thak you for the review.
You're right that animations can be important for many websites! While Brizy may not have as extensive animation options as some other platforms, it still offers some capabilities: 1. Built-in animations: If you click the gear icon on an element and choose Effects, you can choose from several preset animations like move, pulse, buzz, etc. 2. Custom CSS: For more advanced users, Brizy allows custom CSS injection, enabling more complex animations. 3. Third-party integrations: You can always embed animations from external libraries or tools if needed. That said, while platforms like Webflow excel in animations, it's worth considering whether extensive animations are necessary for every project. In my experience: • Business websites often benefit from subtle, purposeful animations rather than flashy ones. • Too many animations can distract from content and slow down page load times. • Accessibility concerns should be considered when using animations. Brizy's approach allows for a good balance between functionality and simplicity, which can be ideal for many business websites. It's all about finding the right tool for the job, if you're looking to make a fancy scroll-jacking website, this probably isn't the tool for you :) What specific types of animations do you find most effective for the websites you work on? Do you work with GSAP? Did you see they were just acquired by Webflow?
Hey @mhdoctor, the link is working. Do you have any extensions installed for privacy or adblocking? They can sometimes cause issues with affiliate links. Thanks for trying!
If you are a freelancer and want to charge for building the client a website, how could you charge them for your services? What do you think would be a good idea working with Brizy?
I would personally charge a flat fee for designing the website and then charge a monthly maintenance fee and include hosting, updates, and support in that fee (yes, I'd include a fee for hosting, even if you have lifetime access -- nothing wrong with this, IMO). As for how much to charge? That is entirely dependent on the value you can provide to your client and the scope of the work.
@@dave-swift Thanks for your reply. If I buy maybe 6 codes, is there a payment gateway system that I can utilize within Brizy to use? I am looking to attract plumbers and bakers who don't want to deal with anything web related, but not sure using this system how I can accept payments from them through credit cards....Any advice would be welcome...
@@dave-swift Posted another comment but it is missing....My follow up question is how would I process payments using Brizy? Do they have a way inside Brizy? Thanks for your help!
Hi Bob, I see both of your comments. YT is really strict with comments. Sometimes my own replies get filtered out. There is often a delay. As a creator I get no notifications about comments that are removed or filtered. To answer your question -- No billing built into Brizy, but lots of options to take payments. You could use Stripe Payment links, that would be the easiest solution. Or you might use your booking keeping tool, they often having invoicing built in (Xero/QuickBooks) I use some open source software called InvoiceNinja.
@@dave-swift Thanks again, will use your link when I figure out how many codes to purchase. Content creators are often criticized for getting rid of comments but I can see the IA is not perfect and sometimes you post and refresh and it is gone, or it shows up 10 min later, it is hard to figure out!
That's a great perspective! There are indeed pros and cons to every approach. I'm a big fan of open source too. In fact, I use dozens of open source tools daily, including: • Mattermost for team communication • InvoiceNinja for invoicing • Ghost for blogging • Mautic for marketing automation • FreeScout for customer support • WordPress for content management • NodeBB for forums • UpTime Kuma for monitoring • Umami for analytics • Kutt for URL shortening However, I've learned that there's no one-size-fits-all solution. For some people, especially non-technical business owners or those with limited time, paying for a service like Brizy Cloud can be more efficient and cost-effective. I've stopped putting limits on the tools I use or recommend. As technology evolves, code is becoming more of a commodity. The focus is shifting towards ease of use, time-to-market, and overall value proposition. What matters most is choosing the right tool for your specific needs, skills, and resources - whether that's open source or a paid service. It's all about finding the balance that works best for you and your projects. What open source tools do you prefer for web development?
Please elaborate! If this is in regard to previous buyers of the WordPress LTD not getting lifetime access to Brizy Cloud for life, then I was an original WP LTD buyer and didn't feel screwed at all. I actually got multiple years of access to Brizy Cloud for free, a product that didn't even exist when I purchased. But if I'm off on this, please let me know how.
Odd comment. As a long time user of Brizy I'm curious what this is in reference to. I've only received value since purchasing Brizy, but everyone's experience is their own.
@@JustSturgis Some on AppSumo seem to feel that the old deal they bought, (which had different terms than this deal) should automatically be in this new deal. I think their old deal was for two years, and this is a lifetime, as far as I can understand from multiple people complaining about this...
Thanks Dave! Purchased with your link to support. ✌️😁
I've been following them for a long time too. Quite surprised to see them back - thanks for the heads up!
You bet! Thanks for commenting.
Brizy Cloud is gold, best web development LTD I have ever bought
Glad to hear it, @googoogooman! Thanks for commenting.
Agreed. By far the best LTD I have bought on AppSumo. Once they added blogging a couple years back, I was *mostly* done with WP.

speed? u have a url i can test?

I agree, it's a no-brainer.

Thanks @vastteedesign!
Regarding ecomm -- Brizy has a new product coming soon to build landing pages for Shopify.
Am convinced! Thank you!!
Thanks for comment @latifmiah! Good luck with Brizy.
Thanks for this. Was deciding between this and Butternut and this sold it for me.
Between the two, it's a no brainer to me. Brizy is superior. 👍
Not seeing the benefit over a WordPress build. And what do you do if they discontinue their cloud?
For many, the benefit is not using WordPress.
It’s a tool. Not right for everyone, but high quality and certainly right for some.
there are no animations of elements, most customers want them

Dave, is the Appsumo link working? I get a site can't be reached message. Chrome on Mac M1 Mini

The WordPress plugin was lifetime and included 2 years of cloud. Different products.
No they didn't. The Brizy CLOUD buyers got access to the Brizy wordpress plugin.
no database
Feature, not a bug. 😜
