## What is Briks?

Briks plans the pages, designs a look for your business, builds it, and checks its work before it publishes. Then you change any detail in plain words. Every build and change is saved as a version you can undo, redo or restore.

Every site is published first to its own briks.live address, kept out of search, and goes to production after a launch check. On a paid plan it runs on your own domain. Read [how Briks compares](https://briks.dev/compare) with other builders.

## Who is Briks for?

Briks is for people who need a website, web app or dashboard for a business and would rather describe it than build it:

- [Founders](https://briks.dev/for/founders) From an idea to a live site you can change as you learn.
- [Small businesses](https://briks.dev/for/small-businesses) The pages you need, every enquiry kept, hosting included.
- [Agencies](https://briks.dev/for/agencies) A workspace per client, roles for everyone, handover by ownership.
- [Freelancers](https://briks.dev/for/freelancers) A first version from your call notes, and a clean handover.
- [Marketing teams](https://briks.dev/for/marketing-teams) Pages in plain words, split tests and campaign analytics.

## How much does Briks cost?

50 credits to start and one site on a briks.live address. No card needed.

| Plan | A month | A year | Credits a month | Sites | AI agents per project | Team members |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Starter | $16 | $160 | 175 | 1 | 3 | 1 |
| Pro | $29 | $290 | 400 | 3 | 5 | 3 |
| Studio | $79 | $790 | 1,200 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
| Agency | $199 | $1,990 | 3,000 | 30 | 15 | 25 |

Prices are in US dollars and exclude tax. A year costs the price of 10 months. Enterprise plans are set up on request: write to [hello@briks.dev](mailto:hello@briks.dev).

**How credits work.** A new site holds 50 credits while it builds and a change holds 5. Each is charged for the work it took; what it does not use comes back, and a request that fails is not charged.

## How does a build work?

1. **Describe your business**

   Write what you need in plain words: who it is for, what it offers and which pages it needs. You can add a site you like, and screenshots. [How it works](https://briks.dev/docs/writing-a-brief)

2. **Questions before building**

   Before a first build, Briks asks which pages you want and anything your words left open. Tick, type, or let it decide. For websites and apps. [How it works](https://briks.dev/features/questions-before-building)

3. **Pick a look**

   Want a say in the design first? Switch it on and Briks shows three looks for your business, with colours, type and buttons, then builds the one you pick. [How it works](https://briks.dev/features/pick-a-look)

4. **Checks before publishing**

   Every Briks build is checked for readable colour contrast in its code and on the live page at desktop and phone, with a repair when words are hard to read. [How it works](https://briks.dev/features/contrast-checks)

5. **Hosting and your domain**

   Every Briks site is hosted at its own briks.live address. On a paid plan, connect your domain and the certificate is issued and renewed automatically. [How it works](https://briks.dev/features/hosting-and-domains)

6. **Changes in plain words**

   Ask for any change in the studio chat, like a darker header or new opening hours. Briks builds it and publishes it, and every change is a version you can undo. [How it works](https://briks.dev/features/changes-in-plain-words)

## What do the AI agents do?

Each agent has a job and a schedule, and they come with paid plans: 3 a project on Starter, 15 on Agency. They answer the questions your chat passes on, reply to form entries, keep your pages current, check your site's security, work on how you show up in search and AI assistants, write posts and send a weekly report, and a Team lead plans their week from your goals. Emails, site changes and posts wait for your approval.

Yes, on paid plans: Starter includes 3 agents per project, Pro 5, Studio 10 and Agency 15. Each has a job, a schedule and a monthly budget, and asks you before it emails anyone, changes your site or publishes a post. A Team lead plans their week, and the Security agent's fixes always wait for you.

[How the agents work](https://briks.dev/features/ai-agents)

## Where are sites hosted?

Yes. Hosting is part of every plan. Analytics, forms and versions come with every published site.

Yes, on a paid plan: Starter includes 1 domain, Pro 3, Studio 10 and Agency 30. The certificate is issued and renewed automatically. The Free plan publishes to a briks.live address.

[Hosting and your domain](https://briks.dev/features/hosting-and-domains)

## Who owns what you build, and can you leave?

On a paid plan you can download the code written for your site as a zip, and your records as JSON or CSV. The zip leaves out the shared parts every Briks site runs on, so it does not run on its own.

A paid plan can be changed or cancelled from Billing. Refunds follow the [Refund Policy](https://briks.dev/refund-policy).
