ACF‑based Dynamic Templates System for Dynamic Website
Highlights: Fully ACF‑powered Bricks templates, dynamic front‑end content updates, scalable custom fields for posts/pages/taxonomies.
Project Brief
Dynamic Website offers marine detailing services across Perth, Australia, focusing on careful workmanship and attention to detail, particularly in the boat care department. The client needed reliable, dynamic templates for their site, where content like services, pricing, and location could be easily updated without interfering with the front-end design. The goal was to use Bricks Builder with ACF so they could manage content through custom fields that dynamically reflected on the templates, keeping the user experience smooth and consistent.
Challenges
Mainly, we were to create a dynamic system where all aspects of the site, from service descriptions to location-based content, could be managed easily by the client without relying on manual page edits every time content changed.
- The key was to make sure the ACF fields could dynamically populate various templates across the site, especially the service offerings, boat care plans, and location-based content.
- Additionally, the client wanted flexibility to adjust pricing, services, and information for different boat types and conditions, all while maintaining a clean, professional, and consistent design.
Solution
We built a dynamic template system in Bricks Builder, fully integrated with ACF custom fields, so the client could easily update content without needing to touch the front-end design. Custom fields were used to manage:
- Service details (e.g., boat detailing methods for gelcoat, vinyl, etc.)
- Pricing and packages (easily editable in the backend)
- Location-based content for different marina areas and coastal suburbs.
- Testimonials, boat care tips, and maintenance guides for visitors.
Each page was set up to automatically pull the relevant data from these fields, making sure that any updates made on the backend reflected immediately on the front end, without any design changes required.
Results
- Dynamic Website now has a flexible, scalable website where the client can manage all core services, pricing, and location-based content through the backend without affecting the front-end layout.
- The ACF integration makes sure that any new service or pricing changes automatically update across the site, and the templates maintain a clean, consistent design.
- Visitors can now explore customized content about boat detailing services, carefully done for Perth’s unique waters and conditions, without the website feeling static or outdated.
- The client also benefits from easy-to-manage content that keeps their website fresh and relevant without requiring constant manual updates.
Note: Bricks Builder’s strong support for ACF makes this kind of system possible without extra plugins or complex methods. Bricks can natively pull ACF data into templates we build visually.
