Having secured HostArmada hosting plan is a great start to your successful online business. Unfortunately, that’s just the first step of many that will ensure your business will grow at a rapid pace. After all, the infrastructure behind your website is essential, but so is the website itself.

In general, building a website on your own is not as easy as everyone online portrays it. Though WordPress is, without a doubt, a godsend, it has its limitations. That’s why page builders are the solution most people choose to create a stunning and successful website. However, finding the right builder for you is just as important as finding the best hosting company (i.e., HostArmada). So, when it comes to page builders, Brizy should definitely be on your shortlist.

Just like we’ve done with other web page builders, it’s time to examine Brizy more closely, discuss its pros and cons, see how it operates together, and explain why we think it’s an excellent supplement to our hosting.

What is Brizy

Brizy is one of the newest additions to the plethora of website builders available for WordPress. Launched in April 2018 by ThemeFuse, this outstanding tool quickly became a fan favorite. Today, more than 80,000 people from various industries and niches use it to meet their page-building needs.

One only needs to take a look at third-party reviewer websites to see why this page builder is a user favorite and why so many people start their online journey precisely with them. Brizy is compatible with all WordPress themes, which offers immense flexibility for users regardless of their website designer needs.

Thanks to its unique interface and editing approach, Brizy has become a gateway solution for new website owners with little to no web development experience. In this regard, it surpasses its much bigger competitors, such as Divi, Elementor, and others.

At First Glance

The moment you install Brizy, you will see what the fuss is all about. The page builder is fast and easy to use and is the perfect tool for a quick and pain-free landing page and even entire website creation. In other words, if you are a small business owner who needs to create landing pages regularly but has no coding and web development knowledge, Brizy is the solution you’ve been searching for.

There are several highlights we need to mention before we get to the specifics:

Easy to use

Most page builders try to diversify their target users by adding features that can be exclusively used by developers who want to make their work easier. That’s quite alright, but unfortunately, this often complicates the user interface for the primary target—those with no web developer skills.

Brizy doesn’t do this. They stick to their primary target audience- people who are trying to build their first website or landing page. Those who are experts in other fields but need to develop a cost-efficient website and/or landing page. Thus, Brizy’s user interface is precisely designed to satisfy their needs.

That’s where the new and quite useful AI website builder comes along, but more on it later.

Drag-and-drop

That’s not something new for website builders. Still, Brizy has done its best to make the entire experience as straightforward as possible. True, they can’t compete with the bigger builders when it comes to customization options, but on the other hand, even toddlers can build a website with their drag-and-drop builder. Yes, it’s that easy. Customization is seamless, and you don’t have to go through 15 layers to know precisely where you are. There are no sidebars or pop-ups. You edit your creation directly on the screen. This gives you an instant view of your creation. Compared to Elementor, you don’t have to adjust every column 20 times to perfect it.

Intuitive

Brizy is extremely intuitive. It takes less than 20 minutes to learn how to work with it, and there are no overly complicated features that need special skills to create and adjust. Even without the tutorial you receive right after installing Brizy, you will manage to get around just fine. But what we loved about the interface was how clean it was. No pop-ups, no sidebars on both sides. A clean and straightforward editor allows you to change almost any part of your website. Of course, there are some limitations, but as we already discussed, the builder is focused on helping those with little knowledge of web development. So they will hardly go on and try to change the class or div of a particular section, although that’s also possible.

Templates

There are over 200 templates currently available on Brizy and more than 500 pre-made blocks. These are enough resources to build not just one but a ton of unique websites in any industry and niche.

Great support

If this is your first website, you will have questions. A lot of them. Mostly about the builder and how to use it properly. Whenever there is a problem with Brizy, their support team is ready to help you deal with the issue promptly. You don’t have to wait a week or a month. They fix the problem as fast as they can and are always there to help. Sure, this is the industry standard nowadays, but it’s not often you get genuine experts to help you instead of people reading a script. Or at least that’s how it feels like.

How to build your first website with Brizy

Building your first business website can take less than 20 minutes if you don’t have a particular design in mind. The only aspects that will take you a bit more time are the copy, images, videos, and other content, but hey, we are talking about the design here.

Installing WordPress

Firstly, log in to your HostArmada account and go to your CPanel.

Once there, scroll down until you get to the software section. There, you will find “WordPress Manager by Softaculous.”

 Click on it and install WordPress.

On the Brizy Website

Next, go to the Brizy website and log in to your account. You will enter the dashboard to find your WordPress Plugins ready to download. Download them to your computer in a folder you can remember. Note that if you have the pro version, you will have two separate files to download.

The entire process is genuinely straightforward and effortless. After you’re done, go to your website.

Installing the Plugin

Once you enter your website’s administration panel, go to the plugin section. Click on Add New Plugin from the menu and Upload Plugin at the top of the screen.

From there, you can simply drag the zip file into the box or choose it from the “Choose File” button. Either way, make sure to install the free version first and then the pro version. Note that you need to enter the License Key to activate the premium version. You can do that by following the pop-up at the top of the screen or going to the new Brizy section that will appear in the sidebar. There, click on “Settings”–>License.

Paste your key and click on Activate.

Starting your website

It’s time to build your website. Go to the Brizy section in your sidebar, choose “Starter Templates,” and select the one that best fits your needs.

It may take up to 5 minutes to install, but it usually takes no more than a minute.

That’s it

Your website is essentially ready. Well, not quite. You still need to edit the content and adjust the design based on the length of your content.

The outline is ready, but you still have a lot of work, before you can call this website your own. Still, changing everything with Brizy is a breeze, so take full advantage of the builder’s capabilities.

What about the content

Brizy utilizes AI to help you write your content. However, to be honest, the AI is not very good at it.

You need to write very specific instructions, and even then, the result won’t be optimal. Still, if you are pushing to get your website going on the same day, this can be a solution.  

Building new pages

Brizy also allows you to create stand-alone pages by adding ready blocks or creating your own with the various elements provided by the creators. The entire process is similar to building your website, but you need to create the page from the WP dashboard and then edit it with Brizy.

AI website builder

One of the best and definitely the most fun features of the Plugin is the AI website builder. You can find it on Brizy’s website. There, you will have to enter the name of your business and the industry you are in. It would be quite helpful to add some descriptions about your business and your unique sales proposition so the AI can do its magic. The more descriptive you are, the closer to what you need, the end result will be.

The results are often good enough to start your website but remember that AI lacks imagination. So, it’s best to use the result only as a starting point to create your unique website that represents your brand, not a generic industry website. Moreover, as usual, you will have to change the copy and the images, as the AI uses stock images and is not really good at copywriting. So, yes, despite having a unique website outlay, you still have to put in the effort to make it your own.

Who is it for?

Brizy is an outstanding fit for complete beginners who have little to no understanding of how to create an effective website. In this regard, Brizy is the perfect tool for them, as it offers an easy-to-operate interface requiring absolutely no coding knowledge. Moreover, with the starter templates, the beginner doesn’t even need to understand anything about web design and UX, as all they will have to do is change the text and pictures.

Furthermore, Brizy is ideal for freelancers, who can easily build perfectly good-looking websites about their services, regardless if they are one-pagers or multi-pagers. One of Brizy’s specialties is creating stunning portfolios, so any freelancer can benefit from using it.

The main target audience, however, is small business owners. Brizy offers some high-end marketing tools such as lead generation forms, countdown timers and call-to-action buttons. The pop-ups can also be used for sales and promotions. All of this can be done with a few clicks and little to no understanding of coding or website development. Best of all, it takes roughly an hour to create a fully functioning landing page. A genuine goldmine for small business owners.

Who isn’t it for?

While Brizy is an outstanding solution for most, it has limitations. So, naturally, advanced developers and owners who require highly customized websites won’t find it very helpful. As we already discussed, Brizy has doubled down on its main user group, which means there are far fewer customization options. So, if you need a tailored website, Brizy is not the answer.

Do you need a premium?

Generally, it is a good idea to get the premium version. It offers outstanding additions, among which is the AI website builder. The Personal plan is inexpensive, and you can test it for 30 days with a money-back guarantee.

The free version is also pretty good, but you don’t get access to all pre-made templates, blocks, and some elements. It will suffice if you need a landing page, but for an entire website, the premium version is a must.

Is it a good fit for HostArmada-powered websites?
