As a Junior Developer, I just wanted to say thank you. This FREE course is pure gold. Having only watched the first 4 videos, it is clear to see that you're a true proffesional web developer / designer. Any Junior that is lucky enough to work under you, is a very very lucky individual and I hope they realise the position they're in. Thanks again for this amazing course Kevin 👍
I agree for 100% I feel so dum after seeing the first few video's .. always did it wrong. I just make website's for myself but man.... was I wrong hahahaha @@nicksmith5306
I wish this series was available when I started learning web design it could've saved me a lot of time and effort! If anyone asks me how to learn web design the non-chump way this will be my recommendation 👌
Oh man!!! Where were you 09 years ago... !!! Spot on tutorial 👌👌....if a beginner is reading this comment, listen to me, the only content you need to learn things the right way is on this channel... ditch everything else for a while and focus here. the content is pure gold...
If say someone who's an absolute beginner probably needs to watch Dave's build with bricks course, build a site if their own then come to this course after bricks actually makes sense and watch this to figure out how to build sites going forward
The Box Model presented in the simplest way possible. I can't wait for the rest of these lessons. Always something to pick. So much detail. Thanks Kev.
Thank you so much. Unfortunately I don't understand spoken English well, because I'm still learning the pronunciation of English words, but with you it's different, you have a very clear pronunciation, which is why I understand a lot of what you say, thank you for that.
As a wedding photographer, I am planning to move to web design and development for wedding photographers. I have just come across these 101 lessons - absolutely fantastic resource. I will dedicate enough time to learn so that I can move from chump to a champ
Bro this is so enlightening, I thought that as I can made a visually good website that I'm all good but 3 videos into the course made me realize I was in complete darkness. Can't thank you enough
Kevin, you have a great way of explaining things, which makes them easy to understand. Moreover, you are very engaging and successfully keep the listener involved. I am excited for this course to progress to more complicated instruction! So far, I'm having a good time refreshing these fundamentals!
I bought a course on Udemy for HTML and CSS (in German, my native language)… still haven’t watched it because it’s presented in a very monotonous tone. But with you: I love watching your videos. You’re also a great way for me to improve my English. I found you at the right time because my goal is to become a professional web designer.
I'm so glad u put in that I'm the captain scene, would've been a huge disappointment if you missed that. really appreciate the course so far, thanks a lot Kevin
Easily the best web page building tutorial I have ever seen. So glad you use Bricks, thank you. Clear, concise, powerful info. Hope the channel explodes.
IMMENSE value! The way you show the right way of doing things vs. just dragging and dropping the first page builder element we see that might seem to work for the purpose makes all the difference in the long run when maintaining the codebase, adding new features/content, and scaling the website. Loving this series!
I have watched this video for about the 6th time, each time for different parts of the video - and just rewatched the part about the classes a couple of times, to check exactly how to do this. It seems so simple, but it is really important to get every detail, to be able to do it right. Thanks again!
Such a powerful tutorial laying out a strong foundation for me. Kevin is not only a good communicator but also a brilliant presenter - not a boring moment to follow an otherwise unfamiliar concept. Thank you!
Fantastic video. The more techniques and correct methods I learn from you the more inspired I am to create and build websites. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. 🙏🏼💫
So far, this has been a great series. I'm really looking forward to getting through the rest. Thank you so much for taking the time to make such an excellent course available for everybody.
Wow, this really did me blow away! Great and smart economy of time. So easy to follow you, even not being a native english speaking person. Thanks for that mountain of worthful insights. Cheers from Brazil!
Hi Kevin, i switched to Bricks Builder half a year ago and you already cut my workflow in half in the third lesson. My "chumps" are moving away with each new lesson of yours. Thanks for wanting to turn former "clickers" into better website builders... You have my admiration and many thanks...👌
Kevin is such a perfect example of how there are good teachers and then there are GREAT teachers. I've been using WordPress and various builders personally and semi-professionally for a while now and have a "working knowledge" of HTML and CSS. So of course I'm familiar with the first three lessons of this course and the Box Model. And yet, here comes the light bulb moment in this video. Every once in awhile, I will struggle with spacing issues on Web sites and I can not for the life of me understand why. Enter Kevin's PRESERVE THE BOX teaching in this video. It is often inferred (I see this now) but never "explicitly" stated anywhere that I've come arcross in all my years of watching video, reading, etc. Why? Because so many people teaching and doing tutorials assume knowledge and Kevin is fantastic at NOT doing this. Which is exactly why I continue to follow him and anything he puts out that relates to what I'm trying to accomplish.
Wow. Amazing stuff. I thought I knew all about the box stuff, but clearly I didn't. Thank you so much! One little thing to add. Elementor's text widget actually does columns.
Kevin Geary: "Pay attention to who you pay attention to". This should be a quote. I love it so much I think I will always use it:) See it Timestamp @53:10
@@Gearyco If I may suggest something: when you present section vs containers and how they interact with each other, it would help if you add a light background to both elements (just for education sacks). That way, the "gutter / margin / padding / etc." would appear even more clearly during edit. Anyway. I'm looking forward to watching this series of videos. It's a precious gift you make to the community with this free course. I am deeply grateful to you!
Good video Kevin!.. Nice trick the one about columns. Here is another one.. you can use row reverse or even column reverse when using flex in your container to turn your inside elements in the other direction, it's the third icon in the flex direction section of your container. Surely you knew about this one but just in case. Thanks for the tips man!
I needed to create the layout of a 70 page website with Elementor, it was the worst experience of my life. Since then I've been looking for another page builder, I was in doubt between Cwicly and Breakdance, but after this course I have no doubt that Bricks will save me many hours. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Keviiiiiiin ... I just can't remember when I felt so foolish, like after watching this video. Now, I have always considered my self as a beginner / noob when it comes to webdesign - but you managed to show how wrong I was :) ... probably just the "B" in the word beginner :) :) :) Yeah, I'm - but hopefully after watching this video I can write I WAS ... I was one of those who manually moved pictures, "cards" then later adding classes because I didn't like it. So yes - after watching this video I felt really ashamed :) :) :) Thx Kevin ... looking forward to the remaining episodes. GREAT CONTENT !!! PS : didn't know that something like COLUMNS existed in CSS. Like gaps - I knew them only from GRID, but didn't know, they can be now applied just like that in a builder (without telling it to be GRID). How do you keep up with this = do you like "follow CSS" and when ever a new feature is added, you go and test it / work with it ???
PB101 has been amazing, thank you. Where do you stand with Kadence? Do you find it to create bloat like Elementor? You're videos have made me realize I've been an "assember" for the last 10 years so I'm looking forward to learning more in your Inner Circle and the rest of PB101.
Yaaaaaaasss found you via josh hall. And most things you tell I already know! So thats good. But i got a bit lazy through elementor. Never realized the dom output was soooo bad. So my new site ; bricks for builder rest css? And your Automattic css? Good idea? How do i learn that as quick as possible.
Thanks appreciate the detail in the video and overall content. By the way Elementor does now allow you to split text via columns natively within the editor, no hand-coded css needed. Don't get me wrong not saying Elementor is great, just that its built-in already.
Every time he said something that was "chump-behaviour" he perfectly described me. I just built my 2nd professional (and quite well paid) website, but every single sin on this video I commited (including on other videos in this series). Almost feel like I should rebuild the site, regardless I feel like I am learning the secret ways of the force here.
I had a flashback to Pete Seeger's "Little Boxes" song. Though this is defintely not "ticky-tacky" stuff. I am certain to be leaving "Chumpville" now, discarding older page builder bad habits. I really prefer working smarter to working harder. 😍
Why does TH-cam limit thumbs up/likes to only one single time on each video? I am asking because some videos have so much value that one single like isn't enough for them, such as this YT video tutorial and other tutorials made by Kevin. I wish I could give thumbs ups on these videos as much as I can. Thank you Kevin.
Good question. In Bricks, “root” is a reference word for the current class or ID so you don’t have to write it. It’s just a shortcut term. It’s not the same as “:root”
This is amazing content. I am blown away. Everything I have done has been with Elementor. I will be making the change. Are there "non-chump" ways of migrating from Elementor to BrickBuilder, for example?
Unfortunately, not. You would have to build again from scratch. I wouldn’t bother rebuilding old sites necessarily unless it’s your own personal site. Just start using a better builder going forward.
Hey Kevin will this 101 also talk about Content and SEO type of stuff or is this only about the development part? I find SEO so confusing and while there are a lot of guides, well yours are generally just better. For example how would one optimize his page for SEO if his business isn't local based? Like a freelancer in webdesign or a shop that delivers nationwide. I feel like the chance to get a high ranking on generic terms is 0 if you don't specialize in a small location.
Css classes are great but if you want to modify the html structure (e.g. add button to the card) you still have to do it like a chump 🙂 cause there are no overwritable components in the Bricks Builder. Did you find an workaround for this?
You may need to watch this one more than once to really bake everything in. Bookmark it so you can come back to it later. It's a critical lesson.

Come at the perfect time. Just finished watching the L02
Great lesson Kevin. I've enjoyed all so far and looking forward to the upcoming lessons. CSS columns was a huge golden nugget.
Yo. This is the most pragmatic, straightforward tutorial series I've ever seen on coding for page builders. Thank you!!

I'm only confused with one thing so far, how have you only got 16k subs? This is a brilliant video, so well explained and to the point, love it.
Niche builders instead of making videos for Elementor and such.
I will never go back to Divi!! Thanks Kevin!!
I'm loving this course. Thank you so much ❤
I really appreciate you taking the time and care to teach all these basics. No one of your stature would do this so well. Thanks again.
Kevin thats something phenomenal! Thank you a lot!
I'm sure God is rewarding you for all the good you give people for free!!
So good, I've already learned more than in the Bricks course I signed up for. Thank you
this is a web development clinic - master the fundamentals!
Fantastic video. The more techniques and correct methods I learn from you the more inspired I am to create and build websites. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. 🙏🏼💫
Thank you Kevin, good to do some steps back for me and realize what we are doing. More please. More 😊
Rockstar attitude, rockstar professionalism. Look forward to watching everything you ship out. Thanks bud.
Much appreciated
Nice job Kevin! Loved the training and learned a lot.
Glad to hear it!

Thank you Kevin. Very helpful for me. Keep up the good work and these lessons of yours are in straightforward and simple manner, that I like.
Very welcome
Columns CSS (GOLDEN NUGGET!!)
Very cool. Great content as always. I'm excited to get back into doing CSS after years of Generatepress and Kadence.
