Divi

Divi appeals to both beginners looking to build their first website, as well as experienced web developers, which is why it is so popular.

If you’re a beginner in website design, you’ll appreciate the visualization tools. Divi’s Visual Builder allows you to build your pages on the front-end of your website!

This means that when you add content or adjust design settings inside the visual builder, your changes appear instantly. You can click onto the page and just start typing. You can highlight text and adjust its font and style. You can add new content, build your page and watch everything happen right before your eyes.

In addition to giving you the freedom to create your own designs, Divi gives you access to over 1,000 different layouts, much more than you’d have access to through WordPress alone.

All of these layouts are completely customizable and reusable.

Additionally, Divi gives you access to a technical support team 24/7.

This means that when bugs arise on your site or you don’t know how to build something, you’ll be able to ask the questions that you need in order to keep moving forward.

Divi is a game-changer. As soon as you try it, you will know why. Building websites with the Visual Builder is unlike anything you have experienced before. Divi lets anyone build beautiful websites with ease without having to code or install dozens of disjointed third party plugins.

Divi includes the following:

A comprehensive WordPress content editor/builder

One of Divi’s main selling point is its easy-to-use drag and drop content editor.

This handy but powerful builder can be used to make changes to chosen templates, as well as to derive completely new designs. You can easily make WYSIWYG changes via a visual editor and create reusable content sections.

The Divi content editor also comes with a wireframe mode that you can use to review your page structure, along with preview modes that helps you see how the content will look on mobile, desktop, and tablet devices. You also have the option to add a range of page items and customizations into your design, including sliders, animations, players, CTA buttons, and more.

A huge library of editable templates

Divi offers hundreds of pre-designed templates that are suited to almost any website need you might have.

In fact, the theme is among those with the largest collection of customizable templates, which can be used for business websites, blogs, online stores, learning management websites, and much more. There are also individual layouts that come with the theme, which can be used to set up your individual pages (home, about, contact, etc.) exactly how you want them.

Email Opt-In Plugin Bloom

The best online marketing strategies start with a good email list. Bloom helps you build your email lists using opt-in pop-ups, fly-ins and in-line forms. Plus, Bloom integrates with all of the most popular email marketing platforms.

Social-Sharing Platform Monarch

Grow your social following and promote social sharing on your website with ease. It’s important that every website leverages the marketing power of social media, and Monarch makes it easy to build your following.

High Value Relative to Pricing Tiers

Yearly access: Available at a price of $89 per year. Comes with all the benefits, including access to all Elegant Themes products, hundreds of website packs, future updates, customer support, and unlimited website storage. This is the option to get if you only plan to have your website up for a short time or prefer to renew each year (to keep your options open).

Lifetime access: Costs $249 as a one-time payment and comes with lifetime access to all Elegant Themes products, website packs, updates, and support. This option is best if you are certain you will be using Divi for years to come in the future.
