Does any of this sound familiar?

Bricks is everything they said it was. So why does it still feel so hard?

You got started with web design because you wanted to be creative and build a lucrative business. You chose Bricks because everyone said it's the most powerful page builder — fast, flexible, professional. And you had a vision of confidently building fully dynamic websites with proper workflows and professional results.

Only… things aren't quite shaping up that way:

You're rebuilding the same solutions from scratch on every project. Making styling decisions with no framework to guide you. Creating templates without a proper plan. No workflow. No repeatable method.

That's why projects drag on for weeks. That's why maintenance feels impossible. That's why you're stuck in tutorial purgatory, piecing together random tips that never quite connect into something you can actually use.

This isn't a Bricks problem. This is a system problem.
And that's exactly what Bricks Accelerator fixes.

Stop guessing. Start building with genuine confidence.

Not "kind of get it." Not "watched the videos but still not sure." Actually, genuinely, can't-fail confident.

Tina Stenger

"I've built a few sites with Bricks but wanted to go back to basics to build good habits. Dave's teaching is a balm in a culture of AI, big egos, and intense bro attitude. I appreciate the respect, humor, and human-ness he brings while still delivering high-quality, beautifully organised content. I always let people know on Facebook: Dave's programs are the best. And Bricks Accelerator is no exception."

— Tina Stenger

Benedick Howard

"Over the years, I've struggled with Bricks — one upgrade after another, each time trying, failing, and trying again… until eventually, I gave up. But your course changed that. More than the content itself, it's your presentation and enthusiasm that make all the difference. I actually find myself looking forward to each lesson because you've finally made Bricks Builder a tool worth mastering."

— Benedick Howard

Dave Foy
Your guide

Hi, I'm Dave Foy.

For as long as I can remember, I've loved helping people learn. I'm actually a qualified teacher — for 10 years I taught 7–11 year olds in the UK, so I know a thing or two about breaking down complex concepts in ways that literally anyone can understand.

I built my first website in 1998 and have been building professionally for over 23 years. Over the last 9 years I've helped thousands of non-coders build better, more profitable WordPress sites through my courses and training programs.

When Bricks came along, I saw non-coders struggling with it — not because Bricks is too complicated, but because most Bricks training assumes you already know things you don't. So I built the shortcut: a proper system, a real workflow, and the support to make failure pretty much impossible.

Two Bricks Accelerator cohorts completed so far. That's 140 people now building real Bricks websites with genuine confidence.

How it works

A live cohort group program. Not a course you buy and forget.

Bricks Accelerator is a 6-week program with intensive support and a dedicated private community for your cohort only. We gradually build a real case-study website — a gorgeous portfolio site for a fictional product packaging designer (Figma designs included).

1

Pre-recorded lessons drop every Wednesday

Work through the week's lessons at your own pace, practising as you go. No deadline pressure — your schedule, your rhythm.

2

Live Q&A call every Tuesday at 4pm UK

Bring your questions, get unstuck, and go deeper into topics from the week's lessons. Full replays delivered within hours, with timestamped reference notes.

3

Daily support in your private community

Your cohort-only community is where you ask anything, share progress, and stay accountable alongside your cohort buddies doing exactly the same thing at exactly the same time.

Mark Early

"Dave's Bricks Accelerator has been an invaluable guidepost on my journey. The format — weekly pre-recorded lessons followed by live Q&A sessions — worked really well. This dual approach gave us time to work through the material at our own pace, then ask questions with proper context. It reinforced each lesson perfectly."

— Mark Early

"I'm getting a huge amount out of the course. Everything is extremely well explained. The challenges are super helpful as they're forcing me to review everything and work out what's going on, which is proving to be a very valuable learning experience.

The logical progression and quality of Dave's courses are what really differentiate what he offers. Knowledge is hierarchical, and his courses recognise this — building to complexity without leaving gaps. I actually feel that I'm progressing, not just picking up random bits of knowledge."

— David Dobson

The curriculum

What you'll learn, and why it matters

Six weeks of structured, progressive training. Each week builds on the last, using a real case-study build so you always understand why, not just how.

WK 1Setting the Foundation

Before you build a single page, you need a proper starting point you can reuse on every future project. This week we set that up from scratch: installing and configuring Bricks correctly, understanding the interface properly, and setting up Theme Styles that control your entire site's look from one central place.

  • Create your own reusable Bricks Blueprint — a ready-to-go starting point you'll use on every project from now on
  • Configure Theme Styles properly: colour palette, typography, buttons, links, sections and containers, all set up intelligently before you touch a single page
  • Understand WHY we're setting things up this way, so you can adapt it rather than just follow it blindly
  • Never stare at a blank canvas wondering where to start again
WK 2Layout Fundamentals

Clean, flexible, responsive layouts are the backbone of every professional site. This week you'll master both CSS Grid and Flexbox inside Bricks — not just clicking buttons, but understanding the principles so your layouts work every time and never break unexpectedly.

  • Build layouts properly: content structure first, semantic HTML for accessibility, styling second. The professional order of operations.
  • Master Grid and Flexbox confidently, including responsive grids that actually work on every screen size
  • Learn the Inline Image Method for background images — a pro technique most Bricks tutorials never mention
  • Walk away with layouts that are rock-solid, responsive, and easy to maintain
WK 3Build Your Design System

This is where everything clicks. Instead of making random styling decisions on every project, you'll build a systematic design framework using Bricks variables — colour, typography, spacing, widths, border radius — all controlled intelligently from one place.

  • Build a complete design system: colour variables, type scales, spacing scales, grid variables, width constraints — the full stack
  • Refactor your Week 2 work using the system and see immediately how much cleaner and faster everything becomes
  • Understand the same framework-thinking that powers tools like ACSS and Core Framework, so you can use any of them properly later

At this point you now have the foundation that makes AI-assisted Bricks genuinely powerful rather than genuinely chaotic. More on that shortly.

WK 4Reusability with Components and Classes

Stop rebuilding the same things on every project. This week you'll learn to build proper reusable components — hero sections, buttons, cards, testimonials — that you design once, update from one place, and reuse everywhere.

  • Build real components: hero, button (with style variations), nested components, accessible cards, testimonial sections
  • Use show/hide logic to create flexible components that adapt without being rebuilt
  • Create reusable class-based styles that let you make sitewide styling changes in seconds
  • Client bonus: learn how to make your components editable in the WordPress Block Editor, so clients can update their own content without ever touching Bricks (this one's ✨gold✨ for client handoffs!)
WK 5Templates & Dynamic Content

This is where you become a real Bricks developer. Everything you've built so far gets connected to WordPress data — and your site starts working like a proper professional website, not a collection of static pages.

  • Understand the 5 core WordPress concepts that most page builder users never properly grasp, and that make everything else make sense
  • Build single and archive templates for both default posts and custom post types, with a proper minimal-template strategy (2 intelligent templates instead of 10 unnecessary ones)
  • Create a fully dynamic query loop so content populates automatically as it's added
  • Build a Portfolio custom post type from scratch, with dedicated archive and single templates
WK 6Dynamic Techniques & The Complete Build

Week 6 is where the whole site comes together — and where we go deeper into the real-world techniques you'll use on actual client projects.

  • Build a professional site header and footer from scratch, with logo, navigation, and a proper legal bar
  • Implement custom fields with Advanced Custom Fields and wire them directly to your templates
  • Create related posts using custom taxonomies, the way professional sites handle content relationships
  • Use conditional content with element conditions to display different content intelligently based on context
  • Build a filterable blog archive with a category menu, a feature clients ask for constantly
  • Complete the full case study site and walk away with the confidence and the system to tackle any project independently
Mary Libby Emanuel

"I've taken three of Dave's courses now, and I highly recommend all of them. If you're struggling with Bricks — especially as a non-coder — you'll definitely benefit from Bricks Accelerator. Dave breaks down the confusing or complicated aspects into easier-to-understand components. And honestly? Dave's personality and sense of humour matter more than you'd think. You can be a great teacher but not connect with students — and that's where engagement dies. Dave keeps you engaged."

— Mary Libby Emanuel

The question everyone's asking

"Wait — what about AI?"

Fair question. Let's talk about it directly.

Yes, AI is changing how websites get built. Bricks recently released a feature that converts HTML and CSS directly into Bricks elements, variables, and classes, meaning you can use AI to generate code and have Bricks build it automatically. That's genuinely useful. I use it myself. And in this fast-changing landscape, there's much more to come.

AI is only as good as the system you give it to work within.

If you don't understand design system variables, class naming conventions, component structure, or template hierarchy — AI will happily generate code that technically works but is an unmaintainable disaster inside your actual site. Garbage in, garbage out — just faster.

The designers and developers who'll thrive with AI-assisted Bricks are the ones who understand how a properly built Bricks site actually works. They can direct AI intelligently, evaluate its output critically, and integrate it cleanly into a real workflow.

That's exactly what Bricks Accelerator teaches.

And because this is a live cohort program — not a course recorded months ago and left to age — when new AI features land mid-program (and they will), I'll record new training immediately. We'll also be exploring AI-assisted Bricks and WordPress workflows together in real time on live calls and in the community throughout our six weeks. This is a fast-moving space. You won't be trying to piece it together alone. You'll have a group and an experienced guide right there with you as it happens.

Ben Shapiro

"As an experienced web developer with 20 years of experience, the last thing I wanted was to start over from zero with a new tool. Bricks Accelerator got me from zero experience with Bricks to a power user in weeks. The videos are easy to follow, Dave is a natural instructor, and his teaching style is a perfect fit."

— Ben Shapiro, Web Developer (20 years)

Theo Barth

"This training journey is both captivating and challenging for me. I'm truly impressed by the quality of the content and the way you present it. It couldn't have been done better. You've become my favourite, inspirational role model for online training."

— Theo Barth

Erna Braat

"I've just built my 12th WordPress website using Bricks, and I could never have structured it so professionally without Dave's Bricks Accelerator. His explanations are refreshing and clear. Thanks to this program, I can show my work to clients with genuine confidence."

— Erna Braat, Netherlands

"I've purchased three courses from Dave — and every one has been an invaluable investment. After the very first lesson in Bricks Accelerator, I knew I'd found the best teacher I've ever encountered. We're only halfway through and I already feel certain I'll have the tools and confidence I need to make my project sustainable."

— Dana Surrusco

Ben Shapiro

"I would not have been able to build this site in Bricks had it not been for your course. Built using the tools we learned — fluid typography, row gaps, grid, entirely in REM. It's just a better way of doing things. Since completing the program, I've built another site in Bricks and have two others in active development."

— Ben Shapiro

Clarisse Nikolaidis

"A member of my team completed your Bricks Accelerator program and I had to write to say — the personal feedback you give during the challenges is truly outstanding. She confirms the content has been fantastic. That level of care and attention from a course creator is rare and highly appreciated."

— Clarisse Nikolaidis's agency manager

Setting expectations

What we won't cover

To set clear expectations, here's what's outside the scope of this program:

If you're experimenting with any of these, you can absolutely ask about them in the community. But the sessions stay focused on the essentials that give you lasting confidence in Bricks.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will you be teaching a CSS framework like ACSS or Core Framework?+

I won't be using any third-party framework add-ons in this program. I want you to learn solid Bricks fundamentals first, without relying on any add-ons — and framework choice is polarising, so I don't want to exclude anyone.

However, I will be teaching "framework principles" from the very start — thinking like a framework, intelligently using classes and variables to create a systematic approach from day one. This means when you're ready to incorporate a third-party framework later (which I do recommend eventually, as they make life so much easier), you'll have the solid foundation to use it properly. You'll understand why frameworks work the way they do, rather than blindly following someone else's system without understanding the principles underneath.

Bottom line: you can build fantastic Bricks websites without a framework, but having those framework-thinking principles from the start sets you up perfectly for whichever direction you want to go later. And of course, we can discuss how these principles apply to specific frameworks in the community — so if you're using (or planning to use) ACSS, Core Framework, ATF, or anything else, I can help you with how it all connects.

What about AI — will this course keep pace with what's happening?+

Yes, absolutely. Understanding the fundamentals is what makes AI-assisted Bricks actually work rather than creating chaos. And because this is a live cohort, we'll be covering new AI features and workflows together in real time as they land. That's the beauty of a live 'at the minute' program like Bricks Accelerator.

What if I can't make the live calls?+

No problem at all. The core training is delivered through pre-recorded lessons you watch in your own time. The live calls are for extra support — Q&A, getting unstuck, going deeper. All calls are recorded and replays are delivered within a couple of hours, with timestamped reference notes.

I'm a complete Bricks beginner — will I be able to keep up?+

Absolutely. We start from absolute scratch. No prior Bricks experience needed — though I'll assume you've used another page builder before, even if just dabbling. The whole point is to take you from wherever you are right now to genuinely confident.

Is this training up to date with the current version of Bricks?+

Absolutely. Running a live cohort program means I update the training for each new cohort as Bricks evolves. We're building with the very latest version — live, in real time. More importantly, this program teaches principles and workflow that stay relevant regardless of version updates. My goal is for you to finish confident enough to handle future changes yourself.

What about visual design — will you teach colour theory?+

We'll be building gorgeous designs (I'm providing the Figma files), and the design system framework you'll create in Week 3 naturally leads to consistent, well-balanced designs, typography, and layouts. But I'm not teaching colour theory or broader visual design principles. This is about building websites properly — structure, workflow, dynamic content, and professional development practices.

Do I need any specific plugins or tools?+

Just Bricks and a WordPress site to practise on. I walk you through exactly how to set up an install as one of the very first things we do. I'll be using some recommended free plugins like ACF, but I'll guide you through everything you need.

Will this teach me how to build memberships, sales funnels, or complex integrations?+

This program focuses on core Bricks fundamentals and workflow. Advanced functionality like memberships, complex integrations, or specialised features are best tackled after you've mastered the foundations. The skills you'll learn here will make approaching those advanced topics far easier when you're ready.

Don't miss this.
