Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    Makes it much easier to navigate Bricks templates and pages when building complex themes. The new keyboard shortcuts have been handy too!

    Thank you to the developer, it’s the first plugin I add to a Bricks install, the admin bar dropdown will save you so much time and it can also be added to appear on the Bricks editor page.

    Fantastic plugin. I was working on a site without it installed and everything took so much longer, I didn’t realise just how much time and frustration this plugin saves me.
