Built a 22-block reusable template library and cut build time 55%

A small agency shipped landing pages ad-hoc, ~14 hours each. We standardized 22 Bricks global components (hero, pricing, FAQ, testimonial sets) with locked styling.

Tracked over the next 11 projects:
— Average build time fell 14h to 6.3h
— Style inconsistencies reported by QA dropped ~70%
— One CSS edit now propagates across every live page

Pros:
— Reusable components paid for themselves by project 3
— Global classes killed the copy-paste drift problem

Cons:
— ~20 hours upfront to define and document the library
— Rigid components frustrate one-off creative requests

Best for: teams shipping similar layouts repeatedly, where consistency and speed beat bespoke flexibility.
