Pop ups are all the rage in 2019. Elementor Pro has just released a major update that enables pop ups throughout your site… but could Brizy’s intuitive user interface and attractive lifetime deal make their new pop up feature the best in WordPress in 2019?
In this video we will take an in depth look at the Brizy pop up feature and the brand new email integrations that allow your beautiful Brizy sites to capture leads for yourself and your clients.
In this video we will discuss:
How to build out a simple lead generation funnel in Brizy
How to set up a beautiful pop up and link it to a button anywhere on your Brizy-built pages easily
How to integrate your email opt in form to one of 12 different email autoresponder integrations
My thoughts on the progress of the Brizy Pro feature.
Video Transcript
hey guys in this video we’re gonna take a look at two of the newer features within the Breezy pro beta roadmap and those two features are the pop-up builder as well as the new integrations with twelve different email autoresponders like MailChimp mailer lights and others so in this video what we’re going to do is we’re gonna build a very basic email opt-in funnel we’re gonna show you the pop-up feature by turning this little more info button into a pop-up which they can then put into their email autoresponder by doing a click Subscribe and then sending the visitor to a Thank You page okay hey guys I’m John from in kamesh comm my goal online simply find the perfect tool for your next project and breezy is one that I am very very interested in I’m watching it very closely I don’t know if it’s fully there yet the big feature I was holding out on before I used it for client websites or even for my own projects was to have that email autoresponder feature baked into the platform at this point that has been accomplished and in this video we’re going to take a first look at it together and see if it will work for you and if it’ll work for me alright so here we go let’s go ahead and edit this page with breezy I imported this template using Astra with a very nice easy one-click import feature and so here we go this is the breezy interface I love it it’s so clean so easy to work with so what we want to do here is turn this button into a pop-up and like Elementor is recently released their pop-up feature but they require you to go into a different interface a different template area this is a little bit different how they’ve decided to handle it I don’t know which one is better or worse but here we go so here we instead of adding a link to it you click on the little link and you have three options you can either anchor it to a section on the page so you can see here all the little thumbnails this is actually a recent addition as well we can actually see the visual thumbnail of the anchor link or you can go to a URL obviously just anything you want to send it to but here’s the third option here which is pop-up so here you can insert a pop-up and click on the plus button and it will open up all the templates they have pre-built for you looks very similar to elemental right so you can either pick one here let’s go ahead and start from this guy here hey stranger and it’ll add it in automatically and you can click on it one more time and now boom you get the exact experience like you would expect to see if you were using this on the live website okay so let’s make some quick adjustments here just you see how the editing experience is so will say you want more sign up below to get instant access to a live training blah blah blah you get the idea okay so very easy to add content if I wanted to add for example let’s just say well an icon box as well to see what they’re gonna get you can quickly add an icon box you can see kind of the curvature of this circle getting a little bit funny here we can see if we can adjust that together let’s just say ready to launch and we can right click they have right clicking functionality which is great and here we go so this is our opt-in form we have already brought in the form element but we can also remove this guy and go into the form section here and very easily drag and drop this form element in and like Elementor this is going to be a multipurpose form you can either use it as a contact form element or it just sends you an email or you can now link it up with your autoresponder so let’s get rid of this field here we don’t need to have them select issues we don’t need them to put in paragraph content we just want their email address in this scenario you can very easily change the placeholder text by let’s just call it your best email kind of a marketing tip I’ve heard that this can actually convert better by you know reminding them hey don’t put your spam email and put your best email in so in case that in case you guys need some help with that as well and then here so we’ll just say submit and go so very easy to change the information here the button the styling we’ll go to colors and just change these colors a little bit let’s make it since we have that yellow background let’s make the background here white and the text blue and then when they hover over it let’s go to the hover setting now let’s kind of invert that so the background is blue and the text is white so let’s just see how that looks let’s try that one more time alright so it looks oh there goes it looks good okay so now if we click off it and kind of see we have that inverting hover effect I like it we also add a border to it just for s’s and geez let’s go to the border here and add a blue border as well now I like this button makes happy who will go with it so now to integrate this with your email autoresponder again you don’t need to go to any other settings you don’t need to go back to the wordpress dashboard all you have to do is hit the little plug I think that’s a plug and you have all the applications that integrate in with this so for example you click on WordPress and that will you know use the WordPress email or to send an email or you can go to MailChimp for example and I’ve already set up MailChimp to be integrated with my kind of test account if I’m being honest so we if you wanted to let’s just show you how if you wanted to integrate a brand new responder for example if you use in the other light which i think is a great platform for beginners you can just put your API key in right there hit connect and you’re good to go very easy process to set up a new autoresponder but here let’s go ahead and go to our MailChimp integration will continue it’s pulling all the fields in is doing all the API talk and then we can go and add them to let’s just say this list here and you can also right here from this interface decide if you want them to do an email confirmation or not in order to join that list here we’ll say not required for now but that’s a really cool feature to have that’s really controlled on a form by form basis normally with those email autoresponders you have to setup like kind of a one-time-only like where you go into the settings of the autoresponder and says hey if I’m being connected by an API from something in WordPress do you want them to do an email Auto an email confirmation or not yes or no and it’s kind of all or none here you can do it every time you invoke this form field which is fantastic okay so then the last step is to link everything up so I put in your best email as that field name and then in Milutin we want to link that to the email address what’s kind of cool here is let’s let’s do something a bit more fancy so let’s hit continue and okay we’re done here so what if I did want them to have like a little drop-down a guy here so let me I want to add a field in here and this was one that I was trying to figure out earlier and I you know breezy is one of those words very intuitive until it’s not so I’m gonna duplicate this field and that duplicated the entire form I shouldn’t be doing this live I should be I should have already figured this out I’m not entirely sure how to add an additional button or an additional field okay I’m gonna give up on this for right now what I wanted to do was show you this let me show you this at least what I do know how to do once you have selected everything okay we’re all good to go let’s go back to the fields okay so if I had let’s say a drop-down field where I want to ask them of their a beginner or an advanced person I can actually have it Auto generate a field inside of MailChimp or my auto responder so it kinda like a custom field and that’s kind of great because normally if you wanted to do that type of a segmentation or at least get that additional information about your users you’d have to go back into your email autoresponder tool create the custom field come back into WordPress kind of refresh something you know get the fields to sync up again and then you can link them here if you want to learn something more about your readers you can just Auto generate a field and then that content will be integrated in with your autoresponder very well done breezy okay so we have our form here so are we done yet not really because here they can connect we can collect their information we’re not sending them anywhere so you actually do need to go into the the button settings go to the link here and now this is going to give you the ability to put a success message so we’ll call this success yes and if it’s an error we’ll say oh boo and on redirect you can have them go to a redirect page so I have created this page here let’s um we’re on the preview so let’s just go ahead and show you the page I created very quickly so it’s just a very simple thinkI page is gonna tell them obvious information you know go to your email click the link and enjoy and then also put in some social buttons here so we’ll take this URL and in here what I want to do is see if I type in thank you will it search for that page doesn’t look like it that’s one thing that I do like about some builders you don’t have to remember all the URLs or grab them you can just put them in but looks like this one’s not there yet and we’ll just Center this but we’ll Center this button here okay looking pretty good so we’ll hit update and now let’s get out of here and just do one little look over I think we’re good to go let’s exit here and actually view the page for real what I’ll do is I’ll just get rid of that section and now we should be on the live website here so we’ve built out a pop-up you know this is a good-looking page very nicely done by Astra and the team there so we’ll click on more info and boom we have our pop-up has been launched it looks very good we have the ability to click off of it off of the you know in the lightbox area and remove it we can click on the X up here and remove it and we can also go ahead and let’s just put in an email address here and we’ll submit this and success yes and the redirect happens there so what I can say is my shoulders don’t hurt you know I’m not like stressed out having worked through this sometimes if you’re using different platforms you’re constantly balance between one interface and the other interface making it work just right sometimes your styling doesn’t look quite right because the color scheme in your email autoresponder or your email capture opt-in form plug-in doesn’t quite match the color scheme on your website with breezy it will because everything here is set up using the same global color schemes within breezy so does that mean that I’m recommending this as the perfect page builder the perfect often formed capture tool not necessarily at least not yet I think that the future is bright for breezy if they continue to develop quickly I think features like this are fantastic it may not have the most options of anything on the on the market but what they’re doing they’re doing very sleek ly very seamlessly and in a way that you can enjoy working with it I think that’s huge if you want to make a business out of doing web design where you’re churning out a lot of websites in a very short period of time you want to have fun doing it right like this is our livelihood this is our life we want to enjoy what we’re doing and I think that breezy is doing a good job of really taking care of the developers as much as they’re taking care of the end user of the website so I applaud them for doing that I do think they have a tall task ahead to not only keep up with the competition but start to exceed the competition’s rate of development Elementor thrive architect even divvy you know all these page builders are feeling the heat of Gutenberg and they’re developing quickly as a response to it you know breezy is having to catch up to where you know years of development so it’s going to be an interesting thing what I can tell you is that breezy still has our lifetime deal on their website if you go to income net calm slash breezy you can get in on the lifetime deal I think it’s currently at three hundred dollars let’s go and take it take a look real quick and that’s three hundred dollars for lifetime access to unlimited licenses so we click here on pro should know myself at the way you scroll down to the bottom here yet three hundred dollars for unlimited snow recurring fees I’m a junkie for lifetime deals I know it’s my bad habit I really like when a good looking product has a good potential a good future I see it as a little bit of a gamble because you know if it doesn’t work out you’ve already paid for it for life but right now you have the ability to purchase this now and I’d appreciate using my affiliate link in kamesh column slash breezy and the features that are here are already looking great the features that are not here yet are things like split testing and their white label functionality which would be awesome if you’re an agent agency owner but even though you’re purchasing it you still have a 30 day refund policy if you purchase it now they haven’t officially launched the pro version yet and once they officially announced the launch of pro you still have 30 days beyond that of a money-back guarantee so here you go that’s kind of said very succinctly there so I would recommend you check it out it’s definitely a worthwhile look to have the the potential of having a very seamless easy to use a page builder for your client services some little things they’re doing that I think are going to be awesome for for client builds is the ability to integrate in directly with unsplash and bring in these awesome premium designs into your build and to be able to just kind of have a good time building websites and and you know making it look nice so again i’m john from inc kamesh DICOM I hope this tutorial was

Summary
Brizy Pro is quickly becoming a full-fledged product – one that will definitely be a valuable addition to any agency or freelancer who wants to create easy to use and beautiful sites for their clients. Their pop up feature is not as powerful as Elementor or Thrive Leads, but it is much more intuitive and fast to build a great looking pop up and collect leads. Combined with their Lifetime Deal, Brizy is a great option for many bloggers who focus on design.
4.5
Getting Started with Brizy
Brizy has a free version available in the WordPress repository, as well as a premium version that unlocks a ton of useful features if you are serious about building your business on WordPress.
The free version is perfect to build a few pages and decide if some of the unique features of the Brizy builder are right for you.
Some of the most impressive features of the free version are:
Clean user interface
Universal color and font management
Beautiful library of pre-built blocks
Drag and drop sections around visually
4,000+ graphics available (and they are nicely categorized!)
Light weight and good load speed
Super smart image management
The feature list above is already impressive, but there is even more planned for the official of the Brizy Pro:
This post focuses on two of the pro features that have recently been released: The Pop-up builder and 3rd-party integrations.
Let’s get into it.
What’s it like working with Brizy Pro?
If there is one word I would use to describe it – it’s sleek.
No need to constantly hit the save button, no menus covering up your work space. Just pure design freedom.
But does all that beauty take away much needed functionality?
Building popups in Brizy
Currently Brizy Pro supports adding a button on any button or link, and it couldn’t be simpler:
Click on the button
Click the link icon
Select Popup
Brizy has officially announced that they will be building a rules-engine to allow pop ups to appear based on triggers (time on page, exit intent, etc). That will arrive before the Pro version launches.
Brizy currently has a nice selection of templates to choose from for inspiration:
Once you are happy with the design of your pop up, it’s just as easy to integrate them with your email autoresponder.
Simply click on the submit button in your form element, and click the little plug to bring up the list of currently supported email autoresponders:
Connecting your autoresponder
Brizy also makes it extremely easy to connect into your autoresponder. No digging through menus, no separate settings panel…
Just click the one you want, and paste your key in. Presto!:
Once you have your autoresponder connected, you are all ready to collect leads!
Redirecting users to a thank you page in Brizy Pro
Not to sound redundant, but it’s also easy to set a thank you redirect page with Brizy – just click the link and put in the address
Warning
Unfortunately it looks like you need to put the actual file path. In more mature builders you can simply search for the content you want and it will auto-complete. I’m sure this will come in the future.
Brizy Pro Leads Dashboard
Brizy offers a basic dashboard where you can see every lead that has been collected using one of your forms throughout your site.
At the moment this feature is very basic, but it is a great way to cross-reference between your email service to double check that the right leads are getting in.
I would love to see Brizy add additional reporting like the number of impressions and conversion rates each one of your forms gets. Thrive Leads is currently the best in the business at these analytics.
Are you feeling Easy Brizy?
There is a lot to be excited for in the WordPress community in 2019 – we have incredible page builders, the rise of Gutenberg, and incredible abilities to start selling more effectively with better sales funnels.
If you are even a little intrigued by Brizy, I’d recommend you take a leap of faith and get the lifetime deal.
It is risk free for 30 days after they officially launch. Which means you could hold onto it and watch the development for a while until it’s fully cooked.
But if you miss out on it, you could be sorely kicking yourself and paying for a license every year.
