What took this site from 91 to 99 on mobile: the animation that was costing two seconds of LCP, critical CSS, font preloads, image sizing and content-visibility.

A full shop filter panel in Bricks β price, colour swatches, attributes, stock, rating, sorting and a mobile drawer β with an index that keeps it fast on a large catalogue.
Six triggers, ten animation types and stagger set once on the parent β plus the above-the-fold rule that cost us two seconds of LCP before we found it.
Dynamic data turns a layout into a template. The syntax, where tags resolve, how ACF, Meta Box and Pods fit in, and why your tag is outputting nothing.
Conditions let each element decide whether to render β by role, cart, purchase history, URL parameter or device. How to use them, and how caching quietly breaks them.
A dropdown tells a shopper nothing about colour. How to set up colour, image and label swatches in Bricks, on both the product page and the shop archive.
WooCommerce checkout is a form built from hooks. Here is how to lay it out visually in Bricks β billing, shipping, order bumps and a place-order button you control.
Rebuild the WooCommerce single product page inside Bricks β gallery, price, swatches, stock, quantity, add to cart and automatic badges β with no template overrides.
The Query Loop repeats one card you design for every post, product, term or user. How it works, the settings that matter, and the mistakes that leave it empty.
Bricks has no filter UI of its own. Here is how to add AJAX filters β checkboxes, a price range, search and active tags β to any Bricks Query Loop, with URL sync and a cached index.
The native Bricks Form element has no steps or progress bar. Here is how to build a three-step form with validation, a progress bar and post-submit actions, without custom JavaScript.
Each guide on this blog walks through a real Bricks Builder project from start to finish. You get the exact element settings, the query or condition logic behind them and the reason for every choice. That way, you can repeat the result on your own sites instead of copying a template you do not fully understand.
Most tutorials start with native Bricks Builder features. After that, they show where Djia Bricks modules save time, for example AJAX filters for large Query Loops, multi-step Pro Forms or a custom WooCommerce checkout. As a result, the techniques stay useful even if you never install our plugin.
Every tutorial is tested on the current Bricks version before it goes live. In addition, older guides are updated when Bricks or Djia Bricks changes, so the steps you follow always match the builder you see on your screen.
New guides are published regularly, and topics come straight from support questions and feature requests. So, if you are stuck on something specific, send us your question and it may become the next tutorial.
