Core feature

Visual editing that feels like writing (not filling forms)

React Bricks combines the ease of a visual builder with the safety of a code-defined design system. Editors work directly on the page, while developers keep full control over layout, content rules, and brand consistency.

Marketers

Edit text and images directly on the page, like in a modern document editor.

Developers

Define reusable content blocks as React components with TypeScript types.

Brand

Give teams flexibility inside guardrails, without breaking the design system.

Why visual editing

Headless CMS freedom, without the gray-form experience

Traditional headless CMSs are great for developers, but not for content teams. Editors are pushed into abstract forms, forced to imagine the result somewhere else. React Bricks brings the editing experience back to the page where the content actually lives.

Edit in context

Copy, images, and layout decisions happen where people can see the final result, reducing guesswork and review cycles.

Protect the design

Developers expose only the properties editors should change, with allowed values and validation baked into code.

Move faster

Marketing teams can update content autonomously, while engineering keeps architectural control and performance.

Editor experience

A workflow that feels natural to editors

The best way to understand React Bricks visual editing is to see it in action: text changes happen directly on the page, media can be replaced in context, and structured controls appear only when a block needs them.

Developer control

A visual CMS built from React components

Developers create content blocks in React code with TypeScript, so the website stays aligned with your stack, component architecture, and performance goals.

React Bricks adds a visual editing layer on top of the React components you define, without taking control away from engineering.

Code-first blocks

Bricks are regular React components in your codebase, with typed props, business logic, and editing definitions.

Pixel-perfect

Developers decide which properties are editable, which values are valid, and how the design system is enforced.

Framework freedom

Use React Bricks with Next.js or Astro while keeping your CSS approach, rendering strategy, and frontend architecture.

Operational flexibility

Host the frontend where you want, connect external APIs, and fit React Bricks into your deployment and governance requirements.

Compare approaches

The sweet spot between rigid headless forms and risky page builders

Teams usually have to pick between an editor-unfriendly headless CMS and a visual builder that gives too much freedom. React Bricks was designed to combine the strengths of both.

Headless CMSs

Structured, but distant from the page

Traditional headless CMSs give developers control, but often push editors into abstract forms and preview loops.

  • Content is edited away from the final layout
  • Previewing changes adds friction
  • Editors need to imagine the result instead of seeing it
Compare with headless CMSs
Website builders

Visual, but often too loose

Website builders make editing easy, but they can weaken architectural control and drift away from engineering standards.

  • Editing is easy, but design freedom can become risky
  • Harder to fit into an existing React codebase
  • Custom React logic and external data integrations are more constrained
Compare with builders
React Bricks

The middle ground that stays robust

React Bricks combines inline editing with developer-defined components, so editors move faster without weakening the system.

  • True inline visual editing on the page
  • React components define the guardrails
  • Developer control plus enterprise-ready CMS features

The standout feature is the ability to visually edit content directly using our React components. It strikes the right balance between developer control and editor freedom.
