It\u2019s been a year and a few months since I started building websites with Bricks Builder<\/strong>. I still remember my very first steps into the world of WordPress. Back then, I was using the Jupiter template<\/strong>, which came with Visual Composer. For 2016 standards, Jupiter felt like a \u201crevolution\u201d to me<\/em>. I had zero knowledge of HTML, CSS, or JS\u2014just an idea in my mind of what I wanted to create. That\u2019s when I built the Oneplus Greece website, where I used to write about OnePlus phones and Android news in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"one<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Later on, Jupiter transitioned to Elementor<\/strong>, and that\u2019s when I stepped into the world of a truly visual builder. I was so excited\u2014I thought the creative possibilities were endless. But as I kept building, the combination of Jupiter and multiple plugins began to slow down my sites<\/strong> and often led to conflicts and compatibility issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 2020, I decided to move on from Jupiter, switched to the Hello Theme<\/strong>, and purchased an Elementor Pro license. From that point on, I was building entirely through the builder, with the help of a few PHP snippets and my first attempts at custom CSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun Fact<\/strong>: did you know that the photo on Hello Theme is shot by me? Find it here!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"hello<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to January 10, 2024\u2014that\u2019s the date I purchased Bricks Builder<\/strong>. I just checked! I remember the moment I clicked the buy button. There was a bit of hesitation, knowing I would have to rebuild all my existing sites and also learn how to use this new tool. But at the same time, I felt an overwhelming excitement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bricks Builder unlocked my imagination like no other builder had before. The performance, the speed of the interface, and the sheer creative freedom it allows\u2014there are truly no limits<\/strong> to what you can design with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And today, April 22, 2025, as I\u2019m writing this, the Bricks Builder team accepted my application and listed me as an official Bricks Expert<\/a><\/strong>. It means a lot to me\u2014not only joy but also a sense of responsibility. Being recognized as an \u201cexpert\u201d in building websites with Bricks Builder is an honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I truly hope that whoever chooses to work with me in the future will be fully satisfied with the value and quality they receive.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
