Clickability (discontinued) vs. Divi

I think Clickability does a good job of organizing all the elements in a webpage. You clearly can choose what and where you need to be, via tabs. Some functions are redundant and cumbersome. Like switching an ad placement. We have a, b, c positions and it should be easier to move them around. Currently, it is not. You have to re-create the entire ad, with a different position. Not efficient.

Divi has cornered the market on a simple, straightforward WordPress theme that gives some major integrations and functions! Now that I've worked within it for years, I have a much better understanding of how robust a system it is. It takes some practice to get accustomed to but once you "get" it, it is so fun to use. I've shown so many small business owners how to use Divi and I feel that it is much easier to learn than other themes with functions that are controlled by coding or shortcodes. I could play in Divi all day, and some days I do, depending on which projects I am working on at the time

• The ease of search for items by ID makes finding something quick and easy.
• The system moves very fast, which enables us to respond to breaking news and get content up on the site quickly.
• Making copies or opening read-only versions of stories are great so that one person can read while another person produces.

• Front end builder easy to design
• Exportable and importable layouts and templates
• Integration with wordpress and many plugins
• Individual template builder to apply to certain post types
• Add on cloud to store and sync your own designs, code snippets
• Can create your own api licenses for different websites

• Choosing ad size/placement should be easier than it is. Now, I have to re-create the whole thing.
• When you "save" anything a pop-up comes up that is redundant.
• Ad list only shows a limited number. It's not until you click on one and cancel it out, then you can see all the listings. A bit tedious and redundant.

• Some advanced features need to be complemented with other paid plugins (e.g., attachments in contact forms)
• Certain Divi elements cannot be nested within other Divi elements (e.g., including an element within an accordion)
• Customizing the header is powerful, but making the most of it is more challenging than the rest of Divi's options

As mentioned in the last questions we are going to use a competitor brand next year. I think the issues are trying to find and fix problems from the previous programer. The steep learning curve and lack of mobile and social sharing capabilities. Things that I like are the strength of the programing which comes with a trade off. The ease for those who don't know markup to make updates to the website. Clickability isn't the easiest and can be difficult to find the content that you are interested in. We will not be using it next year.

My experience with Clickability has been mostly positive but there are a few areas for improvement. It's generally easy to learn and use on a daily basis. I can move fast and do my job with speed with needed. But there is some clunky functionality with targeting and page building. My rating would be higher if some improvements were made.

Divi is overall a great tool to use - I think I would need to spend a little more time to dig into the tool to provide more long term feedback.

I found that some agents were better then others, usually you have an account representative and that I would consider level 1 support. To get really complex answers you need to talk with an engineer.

Overall, it was pretty seemless to switch the sites over.

I have mainly worked with open source content management systems like Wordpress, Drupal and Joomla!. Clickability is far more customizable and elegant to code things yourself. The main downfall of Clickabliity is the lack of community developed modules and plugins. If there were developers creating these of wide spread use, Clickability would be a must have for any business.

Divi is a far better-looking and easier-to-learn system than Elements. While Elements has flexible columns and more compatibility with third-party systems (Crockoblock), it has a far steeper learning curve. Divi had a better pricing model and was easier to use to work at speed. We also felt it was far more client-friendly for self-editing.

• I know a big positive is the fact that it is always-on. We are the leading news corporation for our state, and in many markets, nationwide. We pride ourselves on our strong ethics in the community and thus need to exude reliability to maintain the trust of these communities. Having a website fail periodically erodes that reliable perception.
• It has allowed different areas of the company to approach our team and work in a cohesive manner.

• It's hard to quantify, but it's allowed me to create the face of my website, which currently receives tens of thousands of visits each month. This is largely thanks to Divi.
• It has allowed me to quickly design my own sales and product pages, without having to rely on third-party platforms.
• Divi's lock-in has made it difficult for me to explore other visual builders that might also be interesting for my website.
• Es difícil de cuantificar, pero me ha permitido crear la cara visible de mi web, que en este momento recibe decenas de miles de visitas cada mes. En gran parte es gracias a Divi.
• Me ha permitido diseñar en poco tiempo mis propias páginas de venta y de producto, sin necesidad de depender de espacios de terceros.
• El lock-in de Divi me ha hecho difícil explorar otros constructores visuales que también podrían ser interesantes para mi web.
