### "Design Your Amateur Website Like a Professional"

May 31, 2021

4.0

In the Age of Web 2.0, a website should look like it belongs in the modern era, and Divi, a WordPress theme designed for aesthetics and flexibility, certainly helps your site get there. It takes the robustness of WordPress and merges it with the front page visual design practices of more artistic web design apps like Wix, and ultimately helps even a novice like myself put together a website that can attract the ideal visitor without ever letting the visitor know that I’m a web design idiot who would never get my site looking this way without Divi’s help. In a word, it gives me a chance to compete online without having to pay a web designer thousands to pull off a similar design. For someone who wants the kind of author page that readers might like to visit but doesn’t have the kind of money to create the best that only a professional could design, Divi does a decent job bridging that gap. And because some professionals also use Divi, well, that means with practice, I can make my site even better without spending another cent. Why wouldn’t I want that?

Pros

Because I’m no expert at CSS or HTML, I need a tool that can help me bypass my ignorance while still allowing me to design my web pages the way I want them to look, and Divi’s whole existence is to make that possible. Having a dedicated theme builder that adapts to my needs by allowing me to edit right on the page is both a time saver and sanity saver. Because it integrates with WordPress, it’s also valuable to have a theme that can turn my posts and pages into art, according to whatever theme I’ve established, with just a few tweaks to my page frames. It also helps that it comes with many design options from text layouts to image layouts to all sorts of integrations, not to mention the many plugins designed to enhance Divi’s functionality, and I can’t help but wonder what Divi can’t do for my website (besides creating interesting data tables).

Cons

Although Divi does a lot out of the box, it doesn’t do enough without add-on support from other plugins, so the costs can rack up when you start building your site. Fortunately, this will iron itself out over time, but paying for one-year licenses, lifetime licenses, and unlimited site licenses for several plugins can become an exercise in juggling priorities that may prove exhausting in time. For the cost of a lifetime license, it would be nice if it had a few more native integrations that other plugins have to bring to the table for yet another cost. I also find that it can be slow to save and load pages in design mode, and sometimes that means having to reload a page just to get it to open the first time. I’m sure that’s related to hosting more than anything, but it does speak to the need for good hosting, and their recommended host, Flywheel, isn’t necessarily the cheapest provider on the block. I’ve also discovered a critical bug (that I’ve since passed on to Divi, and they’re addressing it, hence my high score for customer service) that can delete themes from pages during saves if too many are active, which doesn’t help those with lots of pages of variable designs. But again, they’re addressing it, so hopefully this is no longer an issue by the time this review goes live. At any rate, they have the kind of customer support team that keeps asking questions until the problem is clear, so I feel confident that this product will suit the majority of my needs in time.

### "Great Wordpress theme with lots of features"

October 11, 2022

5.0

One of the first themes that came with an easy to use 'front-end' builder. Drag and drop everything is the correct order and you're good to go. Very nice.

Pros

It's easy to use. You can easily make yout own Wordpress websites without any coding skills. It works as you should expect. Thereby you can easily switch between Divi builder and standard Gutenberg Wordpress builder.

Cons

You never have all features (blocks) you need. So you always need to buy extra blocks from other developers. Would be nice if really everything was all-in.

### "Divi - Truly One of the Best Products on the Internet for Web Freelancers and Agencies"

February 14, 2023

5.0

My websites, other than with Shopify, are primarily done with WordPress and Divi. This is literally the best investment that one can make into their web design WordPress-centric business. I have nothing but praise for this product.

Pros

I love the one-time lifetime purchase feature... not only is it reasonably price, but Elegant Themes continues to improve, refine, and enhance their product offering. I am extremely impressed with this company and am a big fan. Their customer service is great. Everything about them is great.

Cons

It's hard to think of any cons, really. I suppose the only con is that there is so much potential untapped power that I haven't even learned about yet. But this is like complaining that a car I just got can go too fast.

### "Divi is the Best"

May 4, 2022

5.0

I honestly couldn't recommend this software, and the team behind it highly enough. I continue to have an amazing journey with the Divi Team and enjoy working on my pages and websites because of them. It has been and I'm sure will continue to be an amazing experience on all fronts because I know it will continue to just get better by the minute. The team is great, the software is great and the whole experience couldn't be better.

Pros

The thing I most like about Divi is its ease of use and ever-growing, progressive learning curve. If I think of where I was when I first started, I knew absolutely nothing about building my own website and it is largely with the support of the fantastic team at Divi plus the great templates they have to progressively learn that I have been able to achieve building one. Now I know that with the Divi team, anything is possible, all it takes is a question and they will do their absolute best to answer it thoroughly plus take on board any improvement suggestions I may have. It truly is software with a fantastic team behind it and built with people at its centre which is what makes me feel so confident in using it.

Cons

oops I think I answered this in some of the earlier slots. The great thing is that the Divi team is always open to listening and adjusting as required. That's a big part of what makes it so great.

Reason for choosing Divi

I chose Divi mainly because of its diversity and the possibilities it offered. I didn't want to have to change at a later stage once I had learned some basics so although I recognized that it would be a learning curve I decided to go through that journey together. I do have to admit it wasn't always easy, to begin with, but that was not the software it was the fact that I was a complete beginner. But as I had imagined, with the help of the Divi team navigating through each little learning curve, over time with their help my confidence has grown together with my website building skills. I know I will always be able to build websites that I love together with the support of the Divi Team; we really have grown together. I have never regretted it, it was one of the best decisions I ever made in my website journey.

### "Definitely recommend they are amazing!"

June 5, 2021

5.0

I think I kinda said that up above already but overall great they are great. The customer service is absolutely amazing and next level. I asked for help on how to make a customer header like the one I showed and then the guy actually made the header for me basically. Then I could just go in there and customize it to my liking but he did the majority of the work. So that was absolutely amazing and made me like speechless and I couldn't believe that. Just like I said above overall great would recommend they are just great. There is just so much would definitely recommend to someone trying to build a website.

Pros

It is just like an all-in-one system and solution since it's a theme builder and all to and just like everything you could kinda need is included I feel. Either in Divi itself or the extra stuff that comes along with it when you buy it. For example, you have access to Extra which is their magazine theme they say where you can make like reviews for things from. They also have Bloom which is their email opt-in plugin. Then they also have Monarch which is their social share and follow plugin. So you have access to all of these amazing things and also all of their premade layouts and you can do unlimited websites and you can pay a one-time unlimited fee. It is just incredible and many more I would definitely recommend them.

Cons

I guess the main thing is it is not easy to use as maybe elementor is. Since elementor I think you can edit the header of your page on your actual page I believe and make it a custom one. With Divi though if you want to create a custom header the way you want to have to go into the theme builder option and create a global header. So basically that is the gripe it does not seem as user-friendly as maybe elementor which allows you to do stuff really easily it seems and you can things around really easily. Divi is still really good and might be the best WordPress theme, builder, and visual page builder out there. Since it also has a one-time lifetime fee and no recurring payments and the extras are amazing and their support team and all is amazing. So still would recommend Divi.

### "Best WordPress theme and page builder to standardize on, and trust, over the long term"

January 26, 2022

5.0

Divi is what makes it possible for me to offer WordPress websites to my clients. I'm a marketer and content creator. Not a developer, not a graphic designer. Divi is easy to use and lets me handle the content, development and design, by myself. I don't need to learn to code CSS and HTML, or hire a developer, because Divi offers plenty of options to build a site and I'm not left wishing for more options or running into limitations that would require custom development. I don't need to buy and learn Adobe design products, or hire a designer, because Divi has incredible flexibility and a huge range of design options for any web page - and for anything my clients request. I don't need to manage developers and designers and their projects most of the time. Yet I still have the flexibility to bring them into projects that require development or design skills beyond what I can do myself.

Pros

I use Divi for my client websites because it's a theme I can stick with over the years and not have to redo the sites later. Elegant Themes' management is solid and the company is well-run. Their product development adds useful features and impressive innovations at a steady clip and doesn't fall behind the market. My clients consistently find it easy to learn how to add or edit a page themselves on their own site in Divi. Divi's tech support is responsive and helpful. Their videos make it easy to learn and adopt new features on the same day they are released (!) so that I don't fall behind. Their market share is growing, the user groups are growing, the marketplace of add-on products is growing, the number of online training resources is growing. Overall, Divi is a solid and proven business choice. And it's fun to use.

Cons

Twice in the last 3-4 years I've encountered super-geeky software conflict issues that have cost many hours of troubleshooting and tech support time, where the source of the problem turned out to be obscure. They don't make it easy to get their advanced support team involved. On one of the issues they declined to speak directly with SiteGround hosting to troubleshoot something together more efficiently, instead leaving me to copy-paste insanely technical info and questions back and forth to the two advanced tech support teams (and SiteGround declined to speak directly to Divi's techs as well...). A better escalation and resolution process for advanced technical issues is needed.

### "Can't live without this."

April 1, 2023

5.0

I've been a customer of elegant themes for a long time, back when they use to have a lot more themes. I was a little skeptical when they first introduced divi and gave it more attention than their other themes. But now I am glad I hung in there. Divi is SO much more than a theme now. It truly is a builder and has saved me so much time, stress and money.

Pros

Ease of use, the form builder, easy deployment and editability of the custom templates.

Cons

Having to learn all of the cool new features but the divi youtube channel and the elegant themes blog help a lot with that.

Reason for choosing Divi

Divi is more all-in-one and comes with the most excellent customer service.

### "Divi provides a super easy and affordable way to build great WordPress websites"

December 1, 2021

5.0

I have been using Divi for nearly 7 years and it has become my go-to tool for building websites. It has paid for itself many times over, as I have used it to build numerous websites for clients. Divi has become a big part of my business. If you want to build websites for a living, Divi is a great place to start. It has a very active and helpful user community, with many Meetup and Facebook groups throughout the world. Highly recommended!

Pros

I have been using the Divi theme since it was introduced in 2015. There was a learning curve at first , but it can be learned quickly. I love that Divi makes it possible to build a website that used to take days into a few hours. Divi provides an easy-to-use interface that web designers can use to quickly build web pages. Divi also offers a low-cost lifetime deal that makes it very affordable compared to other WordPress page builders.

Cons

Divi is not the easiest WordPress page builder to use. It does require some experimenting and learning before it can be mastered. Another issue is Divi uses a lot of javascript, CSS, and HTML files that can make it slow, especially if a lot of animations are used in the design. However, Divi has recently redesigned a lot of the underlying code and has made great progress boosting web page speed.

Reason for choosing Divi

When I started with Divi, it was the only WordPress page builder available, and since then numerous page builders have entered the market, including Elementor and Beaver Builder. I have spent a lot of time using Divi so I know it well. It is a fun to use and plan to continue to use for years to come.

### "Review for ( Divi )."

February 15, 2022

4.0

I consider it the best so far, it has unique tools, easy to use and I highly recommend it from the evaluation history

Pros

Huge community and explanations for everything you may need, a large group of ready-made templates, continuous updating, various creation tools, especially animation tools.

Cons

Divi builder is very slow after working on the same page for more than 15 minutes without updating it, it is not possible to specify the width of columns with numbers as a percentage or pixels

Switched from

[Elementor](https://www.capterra.com/p/169468/Elementor/)

Elementor's free version does not have enough tools and the paid version is a periodic subscription. Divi features a one-time sale to have everything in your hands for life. Divi is faster and lighter on wordpress and you don't need to download many plugins when using it as is the case with Elementor.

### "The very BEST way to build WP Websites"

October 13, 2021

5.0

We build all our client websites with Divi. I think that says it all. I love the ecosystem that's been built around Divi. It does need it for the added capabilities and power. There's nothing else out there like Divi, although they do have a couple good competitors. Thanks to their latest updates, their lead has been re-astablished in my opinion.

Pros

\- Very easy to build super exciting websites - Tons of free templates available - Tons of paid/premium templates available - Tons of tutorials available - Tons of (premium) plugins available that are designed specifically for Divi - Incredibly cheap thanks to the unlimited lifetime deal

Cons

It's very difficult to fully optimise Divi websites so they are very fast. This has been improved a lot recently, but it's still a challenge for sure. Even with all the knowledge and experience that we have. Their support is pretty good as they often respond within a few hours and once the conversation is going, sometimes the response is within a couple of minutes to 30 minutes etc. - depending on what they have to do in between. However their support staff can become VERY, VERY, VERY, VERRRRRYYYY annoying and even arrogant at times. I have experienced many times that I explained an issue super detailed and clearly, but they simply do not read what I said and they give me a solution that has nothing to do with me or is otherwise not sufficient. Lastly, some updates and bug fixes really take too long. They should give more attention to this as well as some of their coding quality is not good enough.

### "Your tool if you are not a professional"

February 6, 2022

4.0

I only use it if the project has already been done in DIVI before. It is true that it is very easy to use, but if you are looking for loading speed and real customization, it is not your tool.

Pros

It is very easy to use. There are hundreds, or thousands, of templates that are sure to fit your business. Easy to use and customize.

Cons

True personalization. You depend a lot on templates. And the loading speed is impossible. It loads a lot of code and makes the WPO of the website very bad. Ok if you are not professional and you don't need your website to stand out in speed and customization.

[Elementor](https://www.capterra.com/p/169468/Elementor/)

Reason for choosing Divi

I do not choose DIVI as an alternative. It is a good alternative, but I do not choose it as a first option. Its loading speed prevents me from doing so.

### "Invaluable support and troubleshooting assistance"

August 11, 2021

5.0

Divi helps a person like me in learning and working. I am involved in web design and the construction of online stores. I usually add products and list. I invested in Divi to put my online service store. Now I build other sites and shops with Divi.

Pros

Thank you very much to the whole team and all Divi maniacals for their support in solving WordPress problems. In particular, thank you very much for 72 hours of joint fight against language problems on the site. Thank you for any suggestions and ideas. The choice of your software was a hit... Not only because it's intuitive, not only because it's innovative, but above all, it has amazing support!

Cons

In addition, there is also an interesting market for plugins and add-ons. All this makes this software - a perfect product.

### "Elegant Themes: Divi"

August 22, 2023

5.0

Our workflow has definitely improved since employing the Divi theme. All our users are now on the same Elegant Themed layouts which has and is proving to be very positive. Support teams we must also state are ecelelnt and always respond very quickly, if not instantly in our experience. To be perfectly honest, moving onto Divi was the best decision we have made, won't be moving away from the theme or company.

Pros

Ease of use, flexibility, json feature, variety of relevant plugins, value for money, and the support is second to none in our experiences with the teams, first class and the Divi builder is very user friendly and have to say as an aside... visually pleasing!

Cons

Elegant Themes are constantly improving it's services and products, which is much appreciated in order to improve and keep up with - if not ahead of technical developments and trends - which is important.

Reason for choosing Divi

Divi is so much more versatile as a product, and lends itself extermely well to new, and therefore can be fairly inexperienced staff, or indeed, to the more advanced users and coders.

October 20, 2022

5.0

I have been using Divi for over 8 years and watched it develop from excellent to amazing. There is now a huge 3rd party support community that provides even more functionality and features to Divi's constantly growing set. Elegant Themes, the maker of Divi, is super fast with updates and added features. They also listen to the community of users and implement the most needed changes as a quick pace. Lastly, Divi is a fantastic value. I purchased the lifetime subscription years ago and the delivery just keeps growing.

Pros

Ultimately, my favorite aspect of Divi is that is easily allows me to make really beautiful websites that will also perform well in SEO.

Cons

The biggest problems I have had with Divi weren't from Divi, but from plugins that interfere with the Front End Builder - usually privacy related. But even then- Divi had a fix for it.

### "DIVI : The right tools, at the right time"

June 17, 2021

5.0

I had DIVI purchased before I was hired at the company because they announced that we would be climbing a mountain of activity. Today, I can confirm that DIVI is the ideal tool you need to carry inside your digital backpack if you're going to take on your next Web adventure. Yes many things, it doesn't do them, there is no ready-made food, but I can confirm that there is a worldwide technical support staff that is ready to support you at any time of the day or night! If you have to go on an adventure, start with DIVI then by virtue of any other needs you will make your assessments. If you are a Lazy. If you're not a programmer and you're lazy, don't buy this product because it's like a beautiful woman: "You have to get to know her and make sure she'll follow you on your adventures." DIVI is the tool that will allow the world to see how good you are at dealing with Web technology. before deciding to buy or not DIVI, ask yourself how you want the World Wide Web to see you.

Pros

It scared me at first. I am not a programmer and so I had serious difficulty figuring out which end of the DIVI ball was up. Thanks to video tutorials and posts from DIVI itself, I was able to untangle Sections, Menus, Modules and lines of code. The thing that I have particularly appreciated is the quality of the World Team that is present at any time of day or night.

Cons

Guys, I won't hide the fact that you should simplify the parameters section. No matter how much goodwill one puts into it, sometimes the configuration menus are only understood by the person who made it. I know the programmers well. They don't see beyond their noses. But if someone comes from outside and tells them that beyond their nose there are millions of customers who can't work with that little gem of his, then the intelligent programmer questions himself and changes the dress of his creature So my dear programmers, make the configuration panels so simple that even a child can understand them.

Reason for choosing Divi

In these years of use I have discovered that basic functions in DIVI had not been contemplated, and even the support staff found it difficult to fulfill these requests many times because the platform did not provide what I was asking for. Other solutions instead presented that functionality. For my future projects, I think I'm not going to start with DIVI, but with ELEMENTOR, because I don't want to spend weeks interacting with DIVI's support staff in order to patch basic functions that should be native in DIVI. Although I write this, I do not mean to say that DIVI is not a good product. Every product may be good for one project and not for another. You just have to recognize it and adjust accordingly

### "DIVI Builder by Elegant Themes is a Powerful Web Development Tool"

April 7, 2021

4.0

I really love and am very dedicated to using Divi Theme and other Elegant Themes products. I have invested a lot of money in child themes, layouts, plugins, etc that are supported and make it a very complete product. My primary concern again is speed. This is a growing concern that I hope they address as Google SEO becomes more reliant on site speed.

Pros

I would describe my primary skills as a creative designer first, web developer second. I have found that Divi Theme and Divi Builder have been the easiest to implement with some of the best developer features on the market. Their pricing is extremely affordable for what you are investing and the 3rd party support for the product is pretty amazing. They also have tons of thorough how-to videos and support documentation so you can usually figure out how to do what you need to.

Cons

Speed, speed, speed. Divi definitely does not offer a fast loading site unless you have perfect hosting conditions and have studied site speed optimization using trial and error to figure out what works best. There are also some features missing that I commonly need on website builds but I have to implore a 3rd party plugin or special CSS code to implement. So when Elegant themes is working on fancy bells and whistles that typically slow the builder down, it's frustrating that some more commonly used tools require special workarounds.

### "Pague "por fora" por vários recursos e funcionalidades necessárias para um bom funcionamento do site"

November 26, 2022

4.0

Para criar sites básicos, sabendo um pouco sobre Javascript, é ótimo. Porém como falei anteriormente, tudo que eles criam atualmente cobram um valor extra por isso, mesmo que pague o plano completo.

Pros

Gostamos da facilidade de criar novas páginas baseadas em modelos que fizemos previamente. A função de criar layouts diferentes no "Theme Builder" é muito bom.

Cons

Há muito tempo, quando comprei o plano mais "top" que o site oferecia, onde prometiam que todos os novos recursos, quando criados, seriam disponibilizados para esse.Inicialmente ocorreu dessa forma, sempre que surgia um novo recurso nós tínhamos direito de implementar em nosso site.Com o passar do tempo, foram adicionando serviços de terceiros, com novas funcionalidades bem interessantes e cobravam por isso (já que eram "softwares" e códigos de outras pessoas). Nada mais justo do que os criadores receberem pelo trabalho.Porém, pouco tempo depois a própria ElegantThemes começou a lançar recursos que só disponibilizam com um pagamento extra por esses, mesmo que a promessa da assinatura "lifetime" incluiria todas as funcionalidades que eles criassem, diferente do plano mensal ou trimestral que poderia encarecer com a adição dessas novidades. Por esse motivo, fiquei bastante decepcionado pois muitas coisas mais dinâmicas, muitas funcionalidades interessantes e muitos layouts criados pela própria empresa não estão disponíveis para nós que pagamos o plano mais caro que havia para ter acesso completo.

### "Elegant Theme's DIVI (Extra Theme) is full featured, easy to use, priced well, and is well supported"

September 15, 2023

5.0

Truly fantastic to the point where I wrote management at Elegant Themes to thank them for how they structure support, and how it's allows me to quickly put together a site that meets my organizational needs.

Pros

The WordPress DIVI (Extra) theme allows me to take advantage of WordPress's innate ability to display categorized content in a much more sophisticated manner - like any major newspaper we read online. I find DIVI (Extra) relatively easy to use, but what really makes the difference is their excellent customer support. Staff at Elegant Themes are super helpful and enabled me to get a solid website up and running far quicker than I could have done by myself. There is a huge psychological benefit for me to know that I can reach out to DIVI staff when I need to and get a response in a timely manner. Sometimes it's a matter of minutes. Very occasionally (when they're really busy) I get an email a few hours later. It does not matter, however. in that they always are able to provide a solution that keeps me moving forward at goodhumanhabitat.org.

Cons

DIVI is so feature rich and has everything I need. There's really nothing that jumps out at me regarding things I like least. In a few cases, I'm surprised I need custom CSS to solve a problem, but it's no big deal because there is always knowledgeable staff available to help.

Reason for choosing Divi

I initially chose DIVI - or more specifically the "Extra" WordPress theme because it provides me with precisely the functionality that I needed to create a newspaper website that allows me to display categorized content in a myriad of pretty sophisticated ways. In the end my choices were between Elementor and DIVI. Two things really made the decision easy. The first is that DIVI offers a lifetime license. The second thing is that DIVI is reputed to have far better customer service. When I made an inquiry with DIVI, I got a real person on the chat, and got all my questions answered. When I went to the Elementor site, I got a chatbot that did not quickly provide me with the information I needed. That immediately made my decision easier.

Switched from

I moved from Squarespace to the WordPress DIVI (Extra) theme so that I could take advantage of WordPress's innate ability to display categorized content in a much more sophisticated manner - like any major newspaper we read online.

### "Always There!"

January 16, 2022

5.0

I love that Divi is constantly updating and growing. I've been using Divi since 2016 and they have managed to not only make it work the same but do so much more. The level of options in fine tuning designs now over what was available then is mind-blowing to me. They just don't stop adding to it. And their support is always there.

Pros

Most theme builders I've used are bulky, boxy. Divi, let's you build on the front end allowing you to see the changes in real time. It's just a very smooth process. You can use the Divi Theme to create just about anything you want without the need for other plugins. It doesn't completely eliminate the need for them. But, unless you're building a store. You can build a very elaborate site using only the builder.

Cons

It's really hard to name any cons that aren't nitpicking. I guess the main thing is in their theme templates. There are plenty to use. I often load a template as starting point and then just customize it from there. However, I would love to some over the top templates with more motion. Divi is capable of so much and it would be great to some templates design that have more of a 'wow' factor. The have created templates for almost any business model from profession to quirky. But I feel they need more quirky fun and 'wow' type themes. That being said, Divi is so popular you can find third party templates and plugins that are just as top notch.

Reason for choosing Divi

I chose DIvi because it just worked the best with the way I like to build. And, their support has grown. I've had all kinds of issues over the years. Most of them have been due to my lack knowledge on some things. I can leave a chat message with support and someone will get back to me usually with in a few hours. Sometimes it's the next day. 90% of the time it's something I've overlooked and the issue has been resolved quickly. There's just this feeling of knowing that if I can't figure it out, I can ask them and they are always there to help me. It's like having a design specialists at your fingertips. Because having a second pair eyes is so important. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention the community. So many helpful people, plugin developers and more. There just so much help out there. You're never alone.

### "A slow, bumpy road with a dead end"

October 5, 2022

1.0

I manage multiple sites and train managers to use them on a regular basis. Divi is consistently requires the most training and administrative support. Divi consistently takes longer to do simple edits and results in more errors per edit than any other theme we use. Divi requires a lot of server resources and bandwidth for simple actions, making it slow for admins and punishing mobile end users who may have limited bandwidth/poor connections. A faster server will only help so much - you can't spend your way out of this.

Pros

1 - The system uses a layout system/library to allow for shared layout elements - such as headers/footers. Allows for custom elements on each page. 2 - Divi provides a WYSIWYG editor.

Cons

1 - Divi was built before WordPress used blocks and was intended to solve some of the sames issues and is incompatible. WordPress blocks are far easier to use and understand. 2 - The WSYWG editor is confusing and SLOW. Save does not always mean save, restore features lie and don't work. 3 - Divi uses separate content for mobile and desktop. A single edit must be made in multiple places. 4 - The layout system/library is hard to use and probably could have been addressed more easily using widgets or other tools provided and supported by the WordPress core. At least you don't have to touch it much. 5 - Divi does not respect boundaries between content and format. It inserts a huge amount of formatting cruft into the content which makes it slow for users. And expensive to impossible to change themes or platforms without starting from scratch. If you expect your project to have a long life, this carries significant future costs/limitations. Divi tries to do things its own way. This means that the user skills learned are not transferable and site content itself is not transferable, and that prior knowledge can't be applied. I wonder if Elegant Themes really wanted to build their own CMS from ground up without WordPress - it has always felt to me like they were trying to write a new CMS on top of another, adding new sins to old, adding redundant layers of processing and administration.

Reason for choosing Divi

The marketing firm did not have a web developer at the time they accepted the design contract. The developer they hired (after the contract was already late) did not have much experience.

### "Divi makes my life as a freelance website designer/developer so much easier"

August 16, 2022

5.0

I really enjoy working with Divi. The theme builder helped me create custom site templates for three non-profits. I was new to WordPress and a developer friend suggested it and I'm glad he did. I still have much to learn but I am very pleased with it. I'm actually considering building websites for paying clients. Up until now I have been doing the work as a volunteer.

Pros

I like the Divi Theme Builder the most. It allows me to create targeted themes for people and businesses looking to have a presence on the internet. I am a novice when it comes to development but know enough about html and CSS that I can make modifications when necessary. The documentation is good and the support agents have always helped me when I hit a snag.

Cons

I would love to see a reference that identifies all the CSS classes and ids. There may be one already but I haven't found it yet.

### "Divi: A heavy lifting done for you theme"

March 8, 2023

4.0

Aside from the not so good aspects, Divi theme is an absolute heavy lifter for me as a designer with not enough developer experience. Divi works and when it seems like it doesn't, Divi tech support staff is always there for me ready not only to answer my inquires, but also roll up their sleeves and go inside my website fixing stuff I have no idea how to fix. Their support team is absolutely amazing and I always had a wonderful experience chatting with them. It's a soul relief to know someone "up there" is with you the whole time when you need help. Thank you Divi.

Pros

The multitude of modules and customization options and the fact that you can assign classes and IDs to target them with CSS styling in the custom CSS.

Cons

I wish the Sliders had more customization options and features such as built in possibility to integrate other modules inside each slide, without the need for third party plugins or coding. Other than that, I'm sure Divi will add more animations to both page scrolling and modules reveal.

[Elementor](https://www.capterra.com/p/169468/Elementor/)

Reason for choosing Divi

Because I loved the aesthetics of Divi's website and Divi's Visual Builder UI interface a lot more than Elementor's so i thought 'Divi editing experience must be a lot more fun."

### "One of the best themes to purchase"

June 22, 2021

5.0

So far it's been excellent

Pros

I loved the flexibility, the ease with which it can be operated, the ease with which it can customized, the ease with which it can set up.

Cons

Perhaps a feature that I would like to see is eLearning. I know that there are several LMS's - but I feel that that would be an added feature which I would like to see the Divi team develop as the world is turning more and more to online learning.

### "The go-to software for WordPress websites"

March 15, 2022

5.0

Great! We've been using it for about 3-4 years and watched it get better and better with the updates and upgrades over time, I recommend it for any level of web developer, from very basic personal blogs to large corporate websites with lots of data.

Pros

It's the N1 WordPress theme, a real necessity for whoever wants to have a fully functioning and sleek looking website. Building any kind of feature is pretty easy, and there's a extremely vast network of forums and support in case you need to learn things or need support.

Cons

While designing, sometimes it may get buggy on slower computers, smaller screens, slower internet connections or if the browser window stays open for too long.

### "Fantastic Theme, you wont be disappointed "

September 30, 2021

5.0

I decided to find another place to 5 star this excellent company. You can tell the team here has a true passion for making designers and developers alike a lot easier in this very complex world/industry. From their support staff to the nuts and bolts, this theme has real power.

Pros

I have been using this product for over 4 years and I must say.. it has been a minute since i have been disappointed with a feature release. As in I cant recall when I was sad about it. Excellent support, feature rich, and cuts down the average website build from months to weeks... sometimes days (depending on how basic requirements are needed)

Cons

It used to be clunky and slow, but with the proper understanding of image sizing and extra TLC i really have nothing bad to say

[Elementor](https://www.capterra.com/p/169468/Elementor/)

Reason for choosing Divi

Elementor was okay, but with Divi bringing out new features and only perfecting their product more as well as support staff... it was a easy decision
