Thanks for the video! Would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see a client on-boarding video for how to AUTOMATE the entire client on-boarding experience for a WordPress website build!!!! In the WP community we get a lot of how to build things with page builders and plugins and stuff - things just for the site build - but no one ever really seems to share the backend on boarding process and how that can be automated. By far one of THE MOST IMPORTANT parts to being a web designer and building sites for clients!!!! Thanks again!!!
If I had to replace WordPress as a CMS with an alternative, I'd go headless with Payload. The downside to that though would be, that I'd have to give up most of my stack - including Bricks - in favor of actually coding everything by hand. In terms of efficiency, I just don't think I could ever give that up. But on the other hand, I'd have total freedom again to build whatever I like with the libraries I want, which can be harder with WordPress.
Payload from what I can see is basically doing what ExpressionEngine did back in the day..When I was starting out EE was pretty much the Agency CMS of choice, if I had the choice to replace Wordpress I’d probably go with Craft CMS..(basically a rebuilt version of EE with all the bad bits taken out), it’s been around a few years now so has been thoroughly battle tested in production environments and is being constantly developed and updated..it’s NOT a page builder though..(like any CMS) you’re gonna have to get dirty with code..BUT the upside is you can build whatever and however you want..no need to install dozens of plugins for basic things, no constant updates, extremely secure, you can go headless if you want, installs on most servers..(no vendor lock-in)..etc etc..oh, and it’s fast, like, really fast
@@tavusion I find that intriguing. Thomas did mention, somewhere, that a cloud option could be interesting, but only after the current product is where he would like it to be.
Your course has been invaluable to explaining the benefits to the platform for simpler projects. ❤ The value simplicity can’t be overstated - when I started developing Wordpress in 2006 it was the simple scrappy option - now it’s the everything / anything default which is great BUT not for everybody anymore. 📚 I teach entrepreneurship to university students who grew up on social media and smartphones and who don’t have the time or money or patience to learn and maintain WordPress with all its intricacies and choices.
What about SEO? You're much more limited. What good is a site if it's harder for people to find. Unless you're making a site where it's mostly shared by the URL
These non-techie builders do not work for developers or serious designers. The builder owns the design. You can keep the text and images that are yours. I don’t see the advantage.

Brizy is cool for quick landing pages! Those clients love it…
Interesting! have you also tried some solutions that convert wp in html? if so how would you compare the two?
"especially for those who want to avoid the complexities of WordPress maintenance and updates." Amen!
There are limited or no payment options for ecommerce stores in Brizzy?
brizy is trash! lets talk thomas from bricks into forking wordpress and offering a real open source alternative to use with bricks builder
Its not as simple as that.
I'd rather prefer a "Bricks Cloud", which doesn't rely on WP, like Brizy Cloud,
@@tavusion I find that intriguing. Thomas did mention, somewhere, that a cloud option could be interesting, but only after the current product is where he would like it to be.
How would search, or contact forms, or email subscription forms, or webhooks work in a self-hosted static HTML version?
for that, you will need the Cloud version unless you know how to change the action URL for the form submission
Love Team Brizy!
How would forms work on an export to static HTML?
They work well No spam. You get in in the mail and in Brizy Leads. Brizy is great for smaller websites.
I think this is a no-brainer for simpler sites. You'll get your investment back within the first few months from the hosting alone.

A lot of potential

What can't you do with SEO in Brizy Cloud?
@@WPTuts well I'm curious about how it IS optimized. Right off the bat... I don't see any areas for various schemas
Would be nice to see Etch work this way

@@maureen8554 I didn’t suggest it as a complete solution for all situations. For smaller simpler designs it could be a god option.
personally who dont want wordpress Alternative?
Brizy was cool 3 years ago lol
@@rubengarciajr like Oxygen. Lol
@@WPTuts 1000% hahahaha
