About Divi
A WordPress theme and webpage builder, Divi is an application designed for authors of blog posts, creative writing, product reviews, and SEO-friendly content. With applications in various industries, but especially online marketing and sales, the tool uses a WYSIWYG visual editor to create content that is reliably rendered on websites and mobile displays.
Divi enables users to create custom theme templates, reusable sections, and entire web pages. With a built-in wireframe mode for page structure overview, various viewports for mobile display preview, and a history panel for correcting mistakes, this drag-and-drop builder allows users to publish content on an unlimited number of web pages without web developing expertise. It comes with a large library of over 100 templates, including slider templates and preset CTAs, testimonials, carousel posts, and forms. It also features split testing, extra themes, modules, and plugins to boost leads and conversions for online magazines, journalist blogs, and more.

Pros
Since the early 2000s, I have been a loyal user of Elegant Themes (Divi), and I can't help but appreciate their unwavering commitment to seamless UI integration, top-notch design, and responsive frameworks. Their customer support is nothing short of exceptional, setting a global standard. Having them as part of my team brings me immense satisfaction and joy.
Cons
I'm truly at a loss on this one, as I am genuinely amazed by their dedication because they consistently exceed expectations, even in areas that might not be considered their direct responsibility, such as handling hosting errors. Their commitment to going above and beyond is truly exceptional.

A brilliant building tool with exceptional support

I design both simple landing pages up to e-commerce solutions for my clients with Divi builder.
I design both simple landing pages up to e-commerce solutions for my clients with Divi builder.
Pros
It's easy to use and offers a community of 3rd party developers that build beautiful software to add into your projects. When things go wrong, Elegant Themes is as responsive as you could expect them to be, but the ecosystem of 3rd party developers for plugins and child themes are also responsive and in some cases - work with each other to resolve your issues.
Cons
It's a robust system so it requires almost everything to be up to date all the time. This has caused random, strange issues that I need help troubleshooting. Also due to its design, if you're not an excellent hosting the builder can get weighted down and run slow in website load times. A CDN is almost always necessary.

A slow, bumpy road with a dead end

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.

We have absolutely loved it. We used to use Elementor, which isn't bad, but Divi is noticeably better.
Pros
The drag and drop is very user friendly, their tutorials are perfect, the support has been great though we have almost never needed it. They regular update the theme and provide a huge library of templates for those who might need them.
Cons
Honestly, there isn't anything about Divi that I can complain about. The only downside is that it can sometimes become so large that plugins might occasionally conflict with it but they remedy it quickly every time.
