BricksSync – Easy File-Based Template Migrations for Bricks

As a WordPress developer, managing template migrations between sites has always been a pain point – even when working with Bricks Builder. That’s where BricksSync comes in to transform your development workflow.

BricksSync

Gone are the days of complex database migrations and tedious manual transfers. BricksSync introduces a streamlined, file-based approach that makes template management a breeze. It is designed to make your workflow smoother and more efficient.

Key Features

• File-Based Migration System:
  Instead of database migrations, BricksSync converts your templates into JSON files, making them easily transferable between sites. This approach is cleaner, more reliable, and significantly more developer-friendly.
• Non-Invasive Integration:
  One of the most impressive aspects is how seamlessly BricksSync integrates with your existing setup. It doesn’t modify your database-driven workflow – it simply adds functionality without disrupting your current processes.
• Flexible Deployment Options:
  Whether you’re using Git-based workflows, CI/CD pipelines or traditional FTP transfers, BricksSync adapts to your preferred deployment method.

Use Cases

BricksSync offers several powerful use cases to meet different development needs. First and foremost, developers can implement a GIT or CI/CD workflow where changes are made in a development environment, committed and pushed to GIT, and then released through a CI/CD pipeline, providing complete flexibility in the deployment process.

For those who prefer a simpler approach, BricksSync supports a manual FTP workflow where template files can be created and transferred between sites or environments via FTP, maintaining synchronization with Bricks Builder throughout the process.

One of the most valuable use cases is the ability to set up a centrally managed base theme. This allows developers to maintain a central theme that can be used across multiple sites, effectively separating design from content. This approach is particularly useful for agencies running Website-as-a-Service (WaaS) operations.

Template backup management is greatly simplified with BricksSync by creating individual template files that can be backed up separately from the database. This means that templates and themes can be restored without affecting the database, providing an extra layer of security and version control.

Finally, BricksSync excels in the reusability of templates between sites. As templates are not tied to IDs, developers can easily transfer and share single or multiple templates between different sites. This is particularly useful when working with common elements, such as headers, that need to be implemented consistently across multiple projects.

Pricing

BricksSync offers special Founders pricing for early adopters who want to improve their Bricks workflow immediately. There are two main pricing tiers: a Founders Annual plan priced at $89, and a Founders Lifetime plan available as a one-time purchase for $139.

After the launch week or 100 lifetime sales, the annual plan increases to $149 per year and the lifetime plan is no longer available. This pricing structure makes it particularly attractive for early adopters to secure their license during the initial release period.
