Description
Bricksed adds a ready-made mega menu and mobile menu element to Bricks Builder. Drop it into your header template and get a complete responsive navigation – desktop mega dropdowns, multi-level submenus and a slide-in mobile menu – built from native Bricks elements that you style with the controls you already know.
IMPORTANT: This plugin requires the Bricks Builder theme (version 1.8.6 or higher) to be installed and activated.

Why use Bricksed for your Bricks Builder menu?
- Mega menu in minutes – add the Bricksed element and it builds the header, logo, nav and dropdown structure for you
- Real mobile menu – slide-in navigation with your own breakpoint, direction, transition speed and background
- Native Bricks structure – uses the Nav (Nested), Dropdown and Link elements, so global classes and Bricks styling controls just work
- Works with or without Automatic CSS (ACSS) – use ACSS variables for spacing, or switch to built-in defaults
