Bricks Alternative: The Benefits of Choosing Cornerstone
which website builder is right for you?

Why Choose Cornerstone Over Bricks?
- Component system with visual parameter control
- Breakout Mode for dev-level raw input and customization
- Dynamic Content API with Twig support
- External API looping support
1. Visual Building Experience
Bricks offers a structured builder with dynamic options. Cornerstone matches this, but adds a fully tabbed UI for managing headers, loops, components, and pages side-by-side.
2. Dynamic Content & Query Capabilities
Cornerstone has the edge with external API support and Twig templating. Bricks supports dynamic data and custom fields but lacks a templating engine.
3. Output Quality & Markup
Both generate semantic HTML. Cornerstone gives more tag-level control and cleaner extensibility.
4. Reusability & Design Systems
Cornerstone includes a full component system. Bricks supports global classes and templates, but lacks parametric components.
5. Developer Friendliness & Extensibility
Cornerstone was built with developers in mind: Breakout Mode, custom UI fields, and attribute injection. Bricks supports dev workflows but with less granular UI-level extensibility.
6. Performance & Optimization
Both builders are fast. Cornerstone is leaner due to its HTML-first output.
Final Thoughts
Bricks is a solid builder with speed and flexibility. Cornerstone takes it further for teams and developers who want total control.
