Four columns: brand, contact with social links, menu and a newsletter form, with a copyright bar.

Structure​

This is what the Bricks Structure panel shows after you paste the template. Component instances say which component they are.

The template also pastes a dashed note above the section, with the short version of this page. It only shows inside the builder, never on the published page — see Builder notes.

How to adjust​

Every step is the same move: pick the element in the Structure panel, change its Properties.

Where are those panels?

How to adjust a template shows every one of them in a screenshot of the real builder: the Structure and Properties panels, the classes on an element, a component's style families and the field where a CSS variable goes.

The classes this element carries, in the Bricks panel.

Finish by hand​

  • Logo: set your image in the Logo element; the text Northwind shows only while there is no image.
  • Menu: a Bricks Nav Menu with a WordPress menu (in the Links slot of the FBK Link list): pick your menu in its settings (Menu). Here it shows a demo menu; on your site, until you pick one, Bricks shows one of your menus.
  • Newsletter: connect it to your list with the form's Mailchimp or Sendgrid action (the demo uses Email).
  • The form is the Bricks Form element in the Fancy Bricks house style (class fbk-form: one row, the label kept for screen readers (fbk-form--inline), primary submit with the Sweep hover): set its fields, actions and messages in the Form element. While a field has focus the field rises a little and casts a shadow (class fbk-form--lift); remove the class for a still form. Other looks: add fbk-form--line (underline) or fbk-form--float (floating label).
  • Light footer: change fbk-section--dark on the section. This is a section: to use it as the site footer, paste it into a Bricks template of type Footer.
  • Hover effects: the menu links take the accent color and a short accent bar grows under them (FBK Link list, property Hover effect: Accent bar, class fbk-links--bar); the social logos grow a little (FBK Social, Hover effect: Grow, class fbk-ui--grow). Both also show on keyboard focus.

On phones​

The template is designed desktop first, the Bricks default, and only changes at the two widths the library uses:

  • 767px and below — .fbk-footer-bar, .fbk-section.

Those changes live in Bricks' own breakpoint fields, so you edit them where you always do: pick the breakpoint in the toolbar and the same fields follow.

Careful with the classes shared by the whole library (fbk-section, fbk-intro, the component classes): a change there shows up in every template that uses them.

If your site's breakpoints are set up mobile first, copy the mobile-first variant of the template instead — see Copy and paste.

Accessibility​

In this template, keyboard focus is visible on every interactive piece; movement is cut back when the visitor's system asks for less motion; the state screen readers need is already set (aria-hidden, aria-label).

What is checked on every template, and what depends on your own palette: Accessibility.

Dark mode​

This section is dark on purpose (class fbk-section--dark), so it looks the same whether your site is in light or dark mode.
