🎯 About

Van Marciano Pro is a WordPress training platform created for aspiring web designers, entrepreneurs, and small business owners who want to learn how to build better websites.

Founded in 2024, and now entering its third year, Van Marciano Pro has grown into a popular membership platform offering in-depth page building courses, tutorials, and practical design projects covering tools such as Bricks Builder, Oxygen Builder, Breakdance, and a range of other third-party plugins and applications that are useful for modern WordPress website development.

But this is only the beginning.

The long-term goal for Van Marciano Pro is to expand beyond WordPress and offer a complete Web Design Course focused on building modern websites with tools such as Cursor and Astro. Development for this new course is planned to begin in Spring 2027, opening up an exciting new chapter for the platform.

By human-crafted, we mean that all content on our platform is created by people, not generated by AI. Every video voiceover is recorded by myself (Fabrizio).

Our goal is to keep developing this membership site with a strong focus on the long term, and, of course, for as long as the technology mentioned above continue to thrive.

VAN MARCIANO PRO 2027 ROADMAP

September 6th, 2026

Hey everyone, Fabrizio here.

Today, I want to share our roadmap for the remainder of 2026 and into 2027. As WordPress, page building, and web design continue to evolve, so does the direction we need to take to make sure Van Marciano Pro continues to provide real value to our members.

Below, I’ve outlined some of the key milestones we’re aiming to achieve over the next 12 months.

  1. Platform: Streamline design, better UX for customer dashboard, clean up backend, consistency in styles on all pages
  2. Book: Launch my new eBook ‘The 411 on Page Building’. We’re almost there…
  3. Course UX: Replace LearnDash LMS plugin with TutorLMS for better learning experience
  4. Tutorials: Update all existing tutorials in the library + add 1 new piece of content per week
  5. Oxygen: Complete the Oxygen 6.0 Foundation course
  6. Oxygen: Add a brand new Oxygen 6.0 Class Based project
  7. Bricks: Build a brand new Bricks Builder 2027 Foundation Course (Starting next year)
  8. Bricks: Build a new Bricks Builder Class Based Project (featuring Intermediate and advance concepts)
  9. Components: The template library will be replaced by components library featuring all the existing components with new ones.

Work begins now

In a perfect world, I’d love to have everything completed in time for Spring 2027. However, I also need to be realistic. I’m essentially a one-man band when it comes to creating and developing the content, so these things take time. Samantha will be overseeing the growth and membership support side of the platform, allowing me to focus on what I do best — creating the courses, tutorials, and resources.

I also want to emphasise how important your feedback is to us. If you have any suggestions for how we can improve the platform, or there’s specific content you’d like me to focus on next, please let us know (Use the Contact/support tab below). Your feedback genuinely helps shape the direction of Van Marciano Pro and ensures we’re focusing our time and effort where it matters most.

In Episode 8 of the VMPro Podcast, I mentioned that major updates to the platform would only take place four times per year. This is still very much the plan.

While we’ll continue adding new content every week, bigger updates — such as a brand-new course, a major tutorial update, or a significant new feature — will be introduced quarterly.

Each quarterly update will also include a video walkthrough, giving you a clear overview of what’s new and what’s been added to the platform.

New Pricing Model

We experimented with a new pricing model back in the summer, which gave us some interesting insights into what new members were interested in paying, and what we’ve learned is that the yearly membership fee is not popular as it used to be.

This is why we’ll also be introducing a simpler and more affordable way to join Van Marciano Pro. The goal is to make our courses, tutorials, and resources more accessible to anyone who wants to learn WordPress, page building, and web design.

From 9th September, we’ll be introducing our new membership plans and pricing:

Monthly Membership — €29/month

Learn what you need, when you need it, while still having full access to everything included with Van Marciano Pro for as long as your membership remains active. Cancel at anytime.

Yearly Membership — Decreasing to €149/year

One-Time Membership — Decreasing to €299

Pay once and get full access to the entire Van Marciano Pro platform — the full shebang for life plus all future content!

Okay, so that’s our latest announcement for now. We’ll continue to update this roadmap as things progress, so be sure to check back from time to time for the latest updates.

💻 About our courses

Van Marciano Pro offers WordPress website building courses that uses the following page builders –

  1. Bricks Builder (Legacy courses)
  2. Bricks Builder (1.9 – 1.12)
  3. Bricks Builder (Current 2.1 – 2.3)
  4. Oxygen Builder (Oxygen Classic)
  5. Oxygen 6 Beginners Guide (Now available to members + subscribers)
  6. Oxygen 6 Design Mastery (Coming in 2026)
  7. Breakdance (Foundation)

Fabrizio Van Marciano is your course tutor and has been teaching WordPress and page building on his YouTube channel since 2017.

His courses are primarily video-based and cover everything from foundational concepts to intermediate and more advanced topics.

Each course is organized into clear sections and lessons, and includes all the media kits and resources you’ll need to get started.

1. Vanilla Bricks 2.0 Setup

Our latest Bricks Builder 2.0 Course uses a vanilla Bricks setup, with the exception of one third-party plugin (WPCodeBox) for adding CSS and creating a custom CSS framework.

Our earlier Bricks courses (built on versions 1.9 and 1.12) feature class-based projects. We plan to create a new class-first project for a clean Bricks setup using version 2.0 and beyond in the future.

2. Oxygen Builder (Classic)

Our Oxygen Classic courses, created in 2023–2024, are a bit older but still offer solid value for users learning the builder. We are no longer updating this course.

We are working very hard on a brand new course using Oxygen 6 in 2026.

We have recently released a new Oxygen 6 Starter Guide Video. A link is available in the email subscriber welcome page.

3. Breakdance

Our Breakdance Foundation Course is new and actively being expanded.

Other Builders

At this time, we do not have plans to cover additional WordPress page builders.

📹 Showcase

Showcase was introduced to Van Marciano Pro during the platform’s launch phase and primarily features behind-the-scenes videos of projects I’ve ben working on.

Check out the current videos available in our Showcase series.

 🙌 Cliqué (Community)

We’re excited to announce the launch of Clique—our new community platform for Van Marciano Pro members.

Since the launch of Van Marciano Pro, we’ve aimed to build a strong community through our Facebook group, Facebook page, and Discord server.

While those spaces will remain available for the time being, Clique will become our dedicated social hub for sharing bonus free and premium content, including mini WordPress courses, events, Livestreams (build videos), behind the scenes content, and much more.

So at its core, Clique will be a space where community members can learn, collaborate, and exchange knowledge on all things WordPress and design. It’s an opportunity to engage meaningfully with others, contribute your expertise, and gain insights that will support your WordPress journey, without the drama!

So whether you’re an entrepreneur managing your own WordPress site, a seasoned WordPress professional, or an aspiring designer, we’d love to welcome you into our community when it’s live.

Once Clique launches, all existing Van Marciano Pro members will be invited to join the community. Please find the special invite in your customer dashboard.

RECENT UPDATE:

As we’ve been testing different membership options for joining Clique, we’ve decided to offer two ways to access the community.

New and existing members on the Pro and Ultimate plans will receive an automatic invitation to join the platform directly from their customer dashboard. In addition, a Clique Community–only plan will be introduced starting in April.

We originally explored offering a free membership option, however, for the time being, this is not feasible.

We’ll share more updates as we get closer to the launch of the community website.

If you’d like to be notified when our community goes live, you can sign up here. If you are already on our email list, you don’t need to do anything, watch this space.
