Brick

What Brick is

Brick is a hosted website builder, team wiki, and personal notes tool for turning documents into web pages. Its document editor includes text formatting, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables, images, embeds, and HTML blocks. Users can select design themes, add custom CSS, and include arbitrary HTML or JavaScript. Brick says these options can connect third-party services, with Google Analytics, Intercom, Jotform, and Disqus among its examples. The product is oriented toward public-facing websites, documentation, knowledge bases, announcements, and tutorials. The editor is document-based rather than canvas-based, and Brick notes that search and edit history are lacking for wiki or notebook use. Collaboration depends on the plan: Basic and Hobby have none, while Business provides team workspaces and guest editing. Basic has one personal workspace and one brick.do subdomain; Hobby costs $5 a month and adds three personal workspaces, five .brick.do subdomains, and one custom domain. Business costs $39 a month and includes unlimited personal workspaces, three team workspaces, five users total, and three custom domains. Brick says pages are encrypted in transit and at rest, with backups kept in two locations. It is operated by Monadfix OÜ in Tallinn, Estonia, and hosts servers in the Netherlands.

Who it suits

Brick suits people who want to publish documentation, announcements, tutorials, or other public-facing pages from documents. Hobby can suit an individual, while teams needing shared workspaces and guest editing can consider Business.

Limits

Basic includes one personal workspace and one brick.do subdomain. Hobby has no collaboration; its listed allocation is three personal workspaces, five .brick.do subdomains, and one custom domain. Brick also says it has no offline mode and does not provide video or file hosting.

Getting started

1. Open https://brick.do/ in a web browser.
2. Choose Basic for one personal workspace and one brick.do subdomain, or Hobby for 3 personal workspaces and 5 .brick.do subdomains.
3. Choose Business if you need team workspaces or guest editing.
4. Use the document editor to add content such as text, tables, images, embeds, or HTML blocks.
5. Select a design theme or add custom CSS and HTML or JavaScript as needed.

Verdict

Choose Brick if you want a document-based way to create public-facing pages, with customization options and a path to team collaboration on Business. Look elsewhere if offline editing, file or video hosting, or stronger wiki and notebook search and history are central to your needs.
