FIRST LOOK at CSS GRID controls in Bricks Builder - Fire or Flop?

Bricks 1.6.1 is now available and includes CSS Grid controls. Unfortunately, it's not via a beautiful Weblow-style UI as we had hoped. Rather, it's a fairly raw implementation that seems to require users to learn/know CSS Grid (unless you have the cheat code I'm going to show you in this video).

Turn that frown upside down, though, because this still an IMPORTANT and VALUABLE update. And if you're an ACSS user, you'll be able to use these new grid controls immediately without any learning curve whatsoever!

In this video I'll do a quick overview of the grid controls without ACSS, point out two major bugs in this initial implementation, and then demonstrate how you can use ACSS inside of these new grid controls right away (via ACSS 2.2).

The most important aspect of this release is that you can now assign grid structures, including ACSS grid structures, to custom classes. This dramatically improves scalability and maintainability of grids that appear in multiple locations on a site and is a much better practice than defining grids with utility classes in many cases.

And don't worry, I will be releasing a series of tutorials teaching the ins and outs of CSS Grid in the coming weeks, so even if you don't own ACSS you'll be comfortable using these new grid controls in Bricks!

Stay tuned my friends!
