# Everything the AI website builder does

Build from your words or from a site you like, change anything in plain words, and run your site with hosting, analytics, forms and versions included. Each of the 32 features below says what it needs: a plan, a switch, or nothing at all.

## How the features fit together

A site's life has five parts. Briks covers each one, so you are not stitching a builder, a host, a form service and an analytics tool together yourself.

1. **Build** From a brief to a checked first version 7 features
2. **Change** Plain-word changes, every one a version 4 features
3. **Host** Your address, your domain, kept up 5 features
4. **Grow** Visitors counted, enquiries kept 13 features
5. **Work together** People, pictures and code in one place 3 features

## Build

Everything before your first publish. Briks designs every site you describe from a blank page, asks which pages you want and what your words leave open, reads a site you like, lets you pick a look if you want a say, and checks contrast before anything goes live. Templates, and a database for sites that keep records, start here too.

- [On every plan **Designed for your business** Briks designs every site you describe from a blank page, with type chosen for your trade, colours to suit it and contrast checked before it publishes. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/designed-for-your-business)
- [On every plan **Build from a site you like** Add a site you admire. Briks reads its layout, spacing, type and motion, then builds your site in that spirit with your own words. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/build-from-sites-you-like)
- [On every plan **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)
- [Switch it on **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)
- [On every plan **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)
- [On every plan **Your own database** Sites that store data get their own database. View and edit the records in the studio, and on a paid plan download them as JSON or CSV and keep nightly copies. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/database)
- [On every plan **Templates** Start from a template built with Briks. Tell us about your business and every page is rewritten for it before it is published: your name and your words. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/templates)

## Briks plans, designs and checks every site before it goes live

From your sentence to a live address in 5 steps. You answer its questions, and you can switch on stops to approve the words and choose the look and the hero before it builds.

1. **It asks what it needs**

   Before anything is built, Briks asks which pages you want and anything your words left open. Tick, type or let it decide. Asking is free, and if a build usually takes more credits than you have, you are told before it starts.

   Which pages should your website have?

   Home Order online Our bread Wholesale Visit us About Add a page

   A new site holds 50 credits while it builds and is charged for the work it takes.

   One more question after this Decide for me Continue

2. **You show it a site you like**

   Add a site you admire. Briks reads its layout, spacing, type and motion, and builds yours in that spirit with your own words. No site in mind? It can start from the closest of over 250 of the best sites on the web in its own library, which keeps growing.

   A site you like

   - northfield-journal.com Layout, spacing, type, motion

   One site, plus screenshots if you have them.

3. **You can approve it stop by stop**

   Want a say first? Switch on the stops you want, and the first build waits at each one for you to approve the words, choose the look from three directions and choose the hero from four wireframes. The look and hero stops are for sites built without a site to follow. Leave them off and it builds straight through.

   Choose the look

   1. Words approved
   2. Look, from three
   3. Hero, from four wireframes

   **Aa** Pre-order

   Warm

   **Aa** Pre-order

   Nordic and clean

   **Aa** Pre-order

   Bold

   Or describe the one you want. Use this look

4. **It checks its own work**

   Colour contrast is checked in the code before it publishes, then on the live page at desktop and phone, with a repair if something is hard to read.

   Checking your site

   - Contrast, in the code
   - Every chosen page in the menu
   - Contrast on desktop
   - Contrast on phone

5. **You take it live**

   It publishes first to its own briks.live address, kept out of search. Publish to production when you are ready, and connect your own domain on a paid plan.

## A website designed for your business, from a blank page

Briks designs every site you describe from a blank page. Each section is made for your business, its type is chosen for your trade from 46 display faces and 36 text faces, and its words are checked for contrast before it publishes. Want a say first? Switch on three looks to choose from, or show it a site you like.

Sample

Switch on Choose the look, and the first build waits while you pick one of three looks, drawn for your trade with your own words.

The build waits until you pick.

**Crumb and Co**

Bread baked before you wake

Order by Thursday and collect it warm on Saturday morning.

**Young Serif for headings, Hanken Grotesk for text** Made by hand: cream and olive, a soft serif and rounded corners, for a business like a bakery.

The faces are shown in stand-ins here, so this page loads none of them. Your site loads the faces named.

## Change

After launch, the site keeps changing with your business. Ask for changes in plain words in the studio chat, or on a paid plan click the words or picture on the page in the Visual Editor, and every build and change is saved as a version you can undo, redo or restore.

- [On every plan **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)
- [Paid plans **Visual Editor** Click anything on your own page and change its words, pictures, colours, spacing and sections, per screen size. Changes publish in half a minute, free. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/visual-editor)
- [On every plan **Versions and undo** Every Briks build and change is saved as a version. Undo, redo or restore any of them from the studio, and the site is published again as it was. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/versions-and-undo)
- [On every plan **Manage sites from Telegram** Ask for changes, answer questions, approve steps and publish to production from a Telegram chat, alone or in a group. On every plan, same roles and credits. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/telegram)

## Change any word or picture yourself

The Visual Editor lets you click the words or a picture on your page and change it right there. Plain edits use no credits, and every step can be undone.

- Click the headline and type.
- Click the picture and choose another.
- Undo it, or redo it.

Paid plans The Visual Editor comes with every paid plan.

Order by Thursday and collect it warm on Saturday morning.

## Host

Hosting comes with every plan. Your site is published to its own address, then to production after a launch check, and on a paid plan to your own domain. Email from your site, scheduled jobs and webhooks are a switch away, and on a paid plan nightly database copies too. Every site is safe by default.

- [Domains on paid plans **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)
- [Switch it on **Email from your site** Switch on email for your Briks site and it can send messages under your site's name from a briks address, with a monthly allowance on every plan. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/site-email)
- [Paid plans **Nightly database copies** On a paid plan, switch on nightly copies and Briks copies your site's database every night and keeps each copy for 30 days, so you can go back after a mistake. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/nightly-copies)
- [On every plan **Safe by default** Code read for security before every publish, keys cut out of messages and kept only on your site, visitors counted without cookies, and every version kept. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/safe-by-default)
- [On every plan **Scheduled jobs and webhooks** Run tasks on a schedule and tell other tools when your site publishes, a form is sent or a record changes. Included on every plan, with more on larger ones. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/scheduled-jobs-and-webhooks)

## Hosting comes with every site

Every site is published to its own briks.live address, counted without cookies. On a paid plan, point your own domain at Briks and the certificate is issued and renewed automatically. Try it with any name.

## Grow

Once visitors arrive, analytics count them without cookies, forms keep every enquiry, a chat answers from your own pages, and A/B tests show which version brings more calls, emails and form entries. On paid plans, agents help run the site: a Team lead plans their week, and the Security agent checks the site and asks before every fix.

- [On every plan **A/B testing** Test a saved version of your site against the live one. Briks splits visitors, counts calls, emails and form entries, and shows which version does better. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/ab-testing)
- [On every plan **Analytics without cookies** Every Briks site counts visitors without cookies. Ask about your visits in plain words, set goals, see where people stop, and count visits from AI assistants. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/analytics)
- [Switch it on **A chat on your site** Switch on a chat that answers your visitors from your published pages and emails you the questions it cannot answer. On every plan, off until you want it. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/site-chat)
- [On every plan **Forms that keep every entry** Forms on your Briks site keep every entry in the studio and, once the site is in production, email each one to you. No form service to connect. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/forms)
- [On every plan **Sign-in and payments** Let visitors sign up with email, Google and more, and pay once or subscribe through your own processor. Your keys stay on your site, with no fee from Briks. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/sign-in-and-payments)
- [On every plan **Image editor** Make posts, stories, thumbnails and pins at each platform's exact size, in your site's colours and typefaces, from templates, your own words or a blank canvas. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/image-editor)
- [Paid plans **AI agents** AI agents on every paid plan: a team lead, Security, Support, Leads, SEO, Social and more, each with a job, a schedule and a budget, asking you first. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/ai-agents)
- [Paid plans **Security agent** The Security agent checks your site's code after every publish and the live site weekly, explains each finding in plain words, and fixes only what you approve. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/security-agent)
- [Paid plans **Team lead** The Team lead plans your AI agents' week from your goals for your approval, hands each task to the agent who can do it, and sends you one stand-up on Mondays. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/team-lead)
- [Paid plans **Social media scheduler** Plan, preview and schedule posts to X and LinkedIn beside your website, with alt text, tagged links and results counted as visits and enquiries. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/social-media-scheduler)
- [Paid plans **Marketing agent** An AI marketing agent that plans your month, turns offers and events into campaigns on X and LinkedIn, and reports visits and enquiries. It asks first. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/marketing-agent)
- [Paid plans **Social agent** An AI social media agent that writes next week's posts for X and LinkedIn from your own content, in your voice, and waits for your approval. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/social-agent)
- [Coming soon **Reputation agent** Coming soon: an AI agent that drafts a specific reply to every Google review, asks every recent customer for one, and tells you how your rating is moving. How it will work](https://briks.dev/features/reputation-agent)

## A website is the easy part

The work starts the day it goes live. Briks hands each of these jobs to a built-in feature or an AI agent, and the agents ask you before anything goes out.

- Keep it secure

  - Checks before every publish
  - Security

  Every publish is checked first, and a change that would load scripts from another website is held back. Security checks your code and keys after each publish and the whole site every week, then fixes what you approve.

- Answer the chat at 11pm

  - The chat on your site
  - Support

  The chat on your site answers visitors from your pages at any hour. What it cannot answer goes to Support, which drafts an email reply for you to approve.

- Post something every week

  - Articles
  - Social

  Articles writes a search-friendly post on the days you choose. Social writes next week's posts for your X and LinkedIn. Both ask you before anything is published.

- Fix what broke

  - Site watch
  - Site keeper
  - Designer and coder

  Site watch wakes when your site stops answering and proposes a repair. Site keeper fixes old opening hours and broken links. Designer and coder looks at every page on phone, tablet and desktop and fixes what a visitor would notice.

- Get found on Google and by AI assistants

  - SEO
  - AI search

  SEO works on your titles, headings, picture text and speed every Wednesday. AI search checks that AI crawlers can read your site every Tuesday, and asks AI assistants the questions your buyers ask.

- Know what visitors do

  - Analytics
  - Reporter

  Visits are counted without cookies, and you can ask about them in plain words, 100 questions a site each month at no charge. Reporter sends you a one-page summary every Monday.

The chat and the analytics come with every site. AI agents come with paid plans, 3 a project on Starter and 15 on Agency, and each asks you before it emails anyone, changes your site or publishes a post.

## Work together

Bring people in with four roles from Pro, keep a workspace for each client, share one media library across your sites, and read and edit the code written for each site, downloading it on a paid plan.

- [On every plan **Your site's code** Briks shows the code written for your site. Browse the files, edit them by hand if you like, and on a paid plan download a version as a zip from the studio. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/your-code)
- [On every plan **Media library** Every picture and video you upload sits in one library for your workspace, ready to use in any project's prompt box. Storage grows with your plan. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/media-library)
- [Teams from Pro **Teams and workspaces** Keep up to 10 workspaces, one for each client, and from Pro invite your team as Owners, Admins, Editors or Viewers. No seat fees: each plan includes its people. How it works](https://briks.dev/features/team-roles)

## Every site comes with hosting, analytics, forms and versions

A chat and a database are a switch away, and paid plans add the Visual Editor and your own domain. You can try every tile below.

### A chat that answers from your pages

Switch it on and it answers visitors from your published pages, and emails you the questions it cannot answer.

Hello. Ask me anything about Crumb and Co.

2. v14 Winter opening hours
3. v13 Dark header
4. v12 First publish

### Change it yourself in the Visual Editor

Try it above

- Edit text in place
- Replace a picture
- Layers
- Version history
- Comments
- Ask AI

### A site in more than one language

When your words or your place suggest more than one language, Briks asks which ones and builds the site in each.

**Crumb and Co**

Bread baked before you wake

Pre-order

### Pictures included, or drawn new

Pictures that fit come from the studio's library, cut to size for your site, and anything it cannot supply is drawn new, at no charge. Or have every picture drawn new, paid in credits by the picture.

From the library, cut to size, no charge

### Your records, in your own database

Sites that store data get their own database. View and edit records in the studio, and on a paid plan download them as JSON or CSV.

| Bread | Price | On sale |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Country sourdough |  |  |
| Seeded rye |  |  |
| Cardamom bun |  |  |

### Every enquiry kept

Form entries are kept in the studio and, once your site is in production, emailed to you.

**Tom Reyes** Wedding cake for 80 guests 2m

**Amira Shah** Wholesale for our café 1h

**Joe Park** Gluten-free options? 3h

### Your site's code

Browse and edit the code written for your site, and download it on a paid plan.

```
export default function Order() {
  return (
    <Section pad="lg">
      <OrderForm day="saturday" />
```

### Manage your sites from Telegram

Ask for a change, check on a site, decide a step or publish to production from a chat, alone or in a group with your team. Same roles, same credits, on every plan.

[How it works](https://briks.dev/features/telegram)

## Most asked about the features

### Do I need to know how to code?

No. Describe your business in plain words, answer a few questions, and ask for changes the same way. If you do code, you can browse and edit the code written for your site, and download it on a paid plan.

### What does Briks cost?

Starting is free, with 50 credits once when you sign up. Starter is $16 a month, Pro $29, Studio $79 and Agency $199, or pay for a year and get 2 months free (Starter is $160 a year). Paid plans are bought online at checkout.

### How are credits charged?

A new site holds 50 credits while it builds, a change 5 and a check 5. Each is charged for the work it took: what it does not use comes back, the charge can be more than the hold, and a request that fails is not charged.

### Is hosting included?

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

### Can I use my own domain?

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.

### Which features are off until I switch them on?

The chat on your site, email from your site, nightly database copies, Pick a look and the fuller check at four widths. Everything else on these pages works by default.

### Can I take my site and records with me?

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.

### Are AI agents available?

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.

### Can I change my site on the page itself?

Yes, on paid plans, in the Visual Editor: click any words, picture or section and change it, then publish in about half a minute. Your own edits use no credits.
