Divi sped up our web pipeline.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Divi to build all our websites for clients. The software allows us to produce modern, compliant websites quickly and cost-effectively. Before Divi, a reasonably simple website would have taken us a few weeks to build, but now, using Divi, we can produce a website in a few days (or less). Changes are easier, and the client can update information. Divi has increased our profit margins and customer base.

Pros

  • Fast design and prototyping (faster to design in Divi than photoshop).
  • Easy to install, set up and get started.
  • Flexible design layouts.
  • Fast loading.

Cons

  • It would be great to have a bit more control over columns.
  • The AI button is in an inconvenient place and interrupts typing.
  • It would be great to be able to white label it.

Return on Investment

  • Has increased our productivity many times over.
  • All our websites are easy to manage using the same system.
  • ROI has been remarkable.

I use Divi since 2013. For me Divi is the best Word Press Page Builder out there. I use it to create webdesign layouts, to create responsive layouts, to build Wordpress templates and themes. I also use Divi's pre-built templates. I use Contact Form Divi Module to create contact form page on my clientes websites. I use it a lot!

Pros

  • Responsive design
  • Easy usability
  • Beautiful templates

Cons

  • Better translations
  • Flexbox
  • More options in contact form

Return on Investment

  • Great cost-benefit relation

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have 4 websites - 2 for my product brands, 1 for my personal brand, and 1 for my online courses and community. All the websites are powered by Divi and it makes my life easy to manage, update, and upgrade all of them. Divi also has a system called Divi Dash - which provides a nice dashboard to manage all the websites at a single point.

Pros

  • It has a huge library of layouts
  • It has "mini sites," a feature to get you start quickly
  • It has AI embedded that helps you create layouts in minutes

Cons

  • Divi lack a few integrations that are available with Elementor
  • Divi feels heavyweight (Divi 5 will solve this issue when it will be released)
  • Divi needs to update their Bloom and Monarch plugins

Return on Investment

  • Maintainance is easy
  • Website development is fast
  • Licensing is cost friendly

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Divi is the theme I've been using for my website for eight years. Since then, it's allowed me to create dozens of pages (articles, sales pages, product pages, landing pages, etc.) very easily with its block editor. In short, it allows me to spend as little time as possible creating and designing my website so I can focus on my business.

Divi es el tema que utilizo para mi web desde hace 8 años. Desde entonces me ha permitido crear decenas de páginas (artículos, páginas de ventas, páginas de producto, landings, etc.) de una forma muy sencilla con su editor de bloques. En resumen, me permite dedicar el menor tiempo posible a la creación y diseño de mi web para que pueda centrarme en mi negocio.

Pros

  • It has a very easy-to-use and extremely complete block editor.
  • It offers many templates that you can use as a base for your website.
  • Customer service has been fast and effective whenever I have needed it.
  • Tiene un editor de bloques muy sencillo de usar y extremadamente completo.
  • Ofrece muchas plantillas que puedes utilizar como base para tu web.
  • La atención al cliente ha sido rápida y efectiva siempre que la he necesitado

Cons

  • Use shortcodes for your modules. If you create your entire website with Divi and decide to switch to another theme/builder, you may run into issues during the transition.
  • Sometimes it's slow.
  • Although it allows you to adapt the style to mobile and tablet, sometimes it doesn't look quite right and you have to tweak it a lot.
  • Utiliza shortcodes para sus módulos. Si creas toda tu web con Divi y decides pasarte a otro tema/constructor, puedes tener problemas en la transición.
  • A veces es lento.
  • Aunque te permite adaptar el estilo a móvil y tablet, a veces no queda del todo bien y hay que retocar bastante

Return on Investment

  • 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.
