Hey, Anthony here from MKS Web Design! Today I’m diving into a hot topic: Bricks Builder vs Oxygen. If you’re building sites with WordPress, you’ve probably wondered which one’s best for your next project. Let’s break down the honest facts and have a little fun with the comparason—typos included 😁.
Bricks is a modern WordPress builder. It’s built on Vue.js so it’s, like, really fast. The drag and drop interface is super easy to learn, even if your just switching from Elementor or Divi. Bricks let’s you edit whole sites visually, and has over 50 design elements (think widgets, blocks, popups, menus, and more). You get a built-in form builder, smart lazy loading for assets (which means better performance!), and regular updates thanks to an active development team.

Oxygen is what you’d call a dev’s site builder. It’s made for folks who love coding, CSS, and getting under the WordPress hood. With Oxygen, global styling and clean markup is the norm. It’s got lifetime pricing—pay once and you get everything forever. And for WooCommerce, Oxygen has deep support built in, especially if you grab the full bundle. The workflow is class-first, so if you no some HTML/CSS, you’ll feel right at home.

Bricks is great for visual designers or agencies who wants lots of options out-of-the-box. Oxygen rocks for developers who wan’t to control every bit of code and markup. Both are super fast—and you realy can’t go wrong.
