Divi

Pros

Consistent and easier to understand than Elementor.

Cons

Many customers already used Elementor so it was challenging at times to build their site.

Pros

We mostly use figma or xd to develop the UX/UI design of the website an its very easy to implement the design in Divi. The broad range of modules/functions etc. makes it very easy, the new included AI helps sometimes for creating content. With the VIP support all problems (mostly caused by me or my team 😅) are solved within minutes.

Cons

It' s like every software – there's always that little fear, when updates are released ...

Reasons for Switching to Divi

Pros

The only thing wich is good for is the design library with ready-to-go landing page.

Cons

Bug, poor speed, bad caching system, is not fully 100% customizable (Blog module especially),

Pros

The massive scale of options and functionalities, and the amazing customer support.

Cons

There isn't anything that I don't like about Divi. There are some small points of improvement, but they are always developing, fine-tuning, and take customer experiences in consideration.

Pros

Divi has a great customer support team readily available via chat plus well-documented training videos and blog posts to learn basic and advanced features. Additionally, there is an extensive group of 3rd party developers offering solutions and training for all aspects of the software easily accessible online.

Cons

The learning curve takes a long time but as noted above, everything I needed to become an expert user is available to lean as quicky as you like.

Reasons for Switching to Divi

Pros

I love the features and flexibility to make something uniquely yours.

Cons

It has a lag time when editing that can slow down the process at times.

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.

Reasons for Switching to Divi

Pros

Divi is very easy to use and has loads of features if you're interested, but even the standard settings are beautiful. I love the clean style.

Cons

Sometimes it's hard to find the options and possibilities. I do miss a real good 'manual'.

Pros

I like that I have so much freedom to build what I want on my website.
The customer service is exceptional.
After learning the basics and getting used to it, anyone can build a beautiful website.

Cons

It can get slow sometimes and it is difficult to achieve fast-loading website.

Pros

Honestly, it's just so easy to use and not limiting. You can use it simply with a premade template, or go crazy customizing and have most everything you'd need available. Additionally, if you get too far away from your actual abilities the customer support team is absolutely fantastic.

Cons

This is totally nit-picky, but occasionally I'll come across some customizations that require some out of the box thinking to accomplish but should be something offered as a feature.

Pros

Easy to use, fast real time and the visual builder allows me to see my changes as I'm doing them

Cons

Wish they would compress uploaded images so the website load time would be faster

Pros

Took the mystery and staleness out of WordPress

Cons

Nothing has frustrated me so far. It may be expensive for some, but as I use it in my business, I can cover the expense.

Pros

Divi is a remarkable tool for creating landing pages and developing websites through drag and drop functionality.

Cons

I use Divi on a rare cases but I do not face issues at all on my end anyways.

Pros

One of the best feature for me is the visual site builder. It saved me some money because i did not bought another plugin. It has many customizable templates wich can be easily changed to my needs. Visual builder is easy to use and when i need to update any info on the website i can do it myself without any programming skills. It integrates very good with SEO plugins and on page optimization is made easy and fast.

Cons

There are no cons for Divi, for me is working very good.

Pros

The vast customization by Divi and the ease of use of Divi. Customizations help solve various needs.

Cons

Divi is simple and easy to use and that makes it to have no dislikes at all.

Pros

It has an active customer support team that works 24/7 to solve any issues. Divi uses a user-friendly interface.

Cons

Divi has no dislike at all it is just simple to use.

Pros

The wide range of possible use cases, easy handling of all these options

Cons

sometimes difficulties with GDPR conform technical connections

Pros

I choose Divi because it a lightweight theme that does not affect website speed. It has an integrated builder which can save you some costs with different builder plugins. Other plugins like WooCommerce and Rank Math work very well on Divi.

Cons

I did not encounter any problems with Divi.

Pros

Divi is, in our opinion, the world's best content frameworks for website development and management

Cons

Can be sluggish for large and complex pages, but that is, we hear, being resolved with the new 2024 version.

Reasons for Switching to Divi

Pros

It is easy to use and the support is fantasic

Cons

Not sure as I like Divi.

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.

Pros

You see immediate results after doing something which is very exciting and rewarding. It doesn’t take too long to get the hang of it. The videos are fantastic, and the support is brilliant. I’ve taken advantage of the VIP support, and it is wonderful to know that someone will be there to help if/when you need it, 24/7.

Cons

I’ve been finding the Presets challenging!

Pros

Constantly being updated. Super innovative and amazing support. ([sensitive content hidden] is great!)

Cons

Nothing, I am more than happy with everything about Divi.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

Divi has made it possible for me to design my own website even though I am not trained in website work. My website looks great and works well too!

Cons

Figuring out what additional modules I need or can use is a bit confusing.

Pros

Product is very easy to use, very intuitive and full of features.

Cons

I can't think of anything negaitve to say about this product.

Pros

The product (Divi) is absolutely fantastic and you can build whatever you wish with it, even if you don't have IT background. They have amazing support, each time I need their help - they know all the answers and are super quick and professional.

Cons

Nothing! Really there is nothing I would change about Divi, my background is design and it is a great tool for people like me. I don't need anything other that what I have. At some point it was growing too fast and I got overwhelmed but as soon as I was able to catch up - it was all fine. And the support team was always there for me! Okay, I don't like presets... I feel like I am loosing a bit of control over what I do, but I get that they save time.

Pros

What I like MOST about Divi is the SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVES. So many of them are really top-quality. Case in point:
Today I sought assistance from Divi Support Engineer [sensitive content hidden] in creating a button that copies the current post's URL to the clipboard. That makes it quick and easy for a visitor to share the post by pasting the URL link into an email, a browser or whatever.
I've been trying to implement this simple feature for YEARS(!) but have never found online instructions.
The Divi HELP Instructions provided by the Divi Help BOT were terrible! Useless. I'm very thankful that [sensitive content hidden] rescued me from that mess. He quickly understood my goal and provided excellent, concise instructions for EXACTLY how to accomplish it. Complete with the CODE necessary to make it work. Perfect!
Many times in the past I have had the great benefit of [sensitive content hidden]'s OUTSTANDING technical know how. Today's encounter was tremendously helpful, but is just the most recent example. Whatever you're paying [sensitive content hidden], PAY HIM MORE! =D
I offered to tip him $10 for his efforts, but that's not possible (unfortunately).

Cons

I like Divi a lot, but I have been frustrated for years by ET's focus on fancy new features, while neglecting so many basic features that either need improvement, or don't exist at all. For example, the 'Copy URL' button referenced in the section above. That's a VERY important feature and a very SIMPLE feature, yet it is not a standard Divi feature.
Very frustrating...

Pros

Cost competitiveness; Awesomely efficient support technology and people. (Well, the screenspace of the support chat could be increased for use with 4K displays, but who's counting :) )

Cons

Almost nothing (I had to jump over a version release once, but that wasn't a big deal)

Reasons for Switching to Divi

Pros

Some negatives of Divi include performance issues on larger websites, using shortcodes makes theme switching difficult, and plugin conflicts and issues with mobile responsiveness are high on the list.

Cons

What we appreciate about Divi is most clients say it is easy to use, can be customized without code, and has pre-made layouts and plugins. Works for both beginners and experienced users.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Divi

Pros

I was so smitten by Divi's marketing campaign when they launched initially. The campaign was simple but the energy and what they were presenting was so cool at that time. It is simple to use, optimizes SEO, Wireframe view and visual editor is well organised, the out of the box templates are great starting point and the new AI feature that is recently added does a okay job but it is getting better I must say!

Cons

While they do their best, Divi adds more load to the websites with libraries, extensions and modules etc. The recent one has cut down on a lot of unnecessary stuff, but it still adds a lot of things that might not be necessary.

Pros

The versatility of the product allows you to make anything you can imagine. Integrated perfectly with all the proper plugins. Support is incredible, never waited too long, very friendly and very efficient

Cons

None - but not all plugins support it, but I think that is a negative aspect of the plugins

Reasons for Switching to Divi

Pros

- outstanding customer support
- Divi marketplace allowing for all plugins you can ask for
- Divi cloud making saving your templates / images / sections and re-using them on other websites a very smooth process
- Divi builder has lifetime licenses, saving lots of money

Cons

- The Divi builder can, on rare occasions, get very slow to use. This can happen if you are working on big websites. A workaround if that happens is to create new sections on an empty page, save the section after it is finished, and then import it to the existing page.

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.

Pros

super easy to use! I, with no previous experience in web design, have been able to build a perfect site, will all functionality, using divi.
Also, support is freaking awesome! and, documentation comes in video and text format, which I love.

Cons

nothing, really. I mean, there was a learning curve. A bit hard to grasp in the beginning, but its a pretty complex builder so understandable.

Pros

It offers a wide range of options to build websites from a visual drag and drop editor. Also the UX is very visually pleasing

Cons

It might have limitations in terms of flexibility and performances.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Divi

Pros

It's really easy to create content using blocks and sections reorganize pages on your website and I like the visual builder as well.

Cons

It's pretty complicated to get started if you have no background in web design, understanding how to create buttons and changing different aspects of the page. However, it is very intuitive. So once you get into it and use it for a little bit, you start to understand how the software works

Pros

As someone with limited coding knowledge, using a website-building platform was a game-changer for me. It offered templates, drag-and-drop tools, and customization options, allowing me to create my own website effortlessly. With this platform, I was able to establish my online presence, showcase my work, and reach a wider audience without the hassle or expense of hiring a professional web developer. It's been an invaluable tool for my business growth."

Cons

It has never had issues with me or since I started using it.

Pros

I love how much I can customize and really make it my own and the fact that I get THE BEST support when I need help figuring out what I am doing.

Cons

I wish there was a better way to space paragraphs. If I want a space down like I do when I input the text, I have to create a whole new text box. The space down doesn't show outside of the settings box.

Pros

Great Theme and you can do everything with it! It's also great to use the visual builder and use one of the hundreds premade layouts!

Cons

I prefer the visual builder, the premade layouts and the bibliothek. Also the great function of global elements and that everything works together.

Pros

Whether you're a beginner looking to build a website without coding or an advanced developer wanting flexibility, Divi delivers in a big way.

Cons

While Divi is beginner-friendly, it still has a lot of options, which can be overwhelming at first. However, Elegant Themes offers great documentation and tutorials to help you get the hang of it.

It does not have a free version

Cons

Their Visual Editor is slow, sometimes updating the product disrupt custom codes or compatibility with some third parties divi extentions.

Pros

Divi allows me to create beautiful web sites with minimal coding (almost none). It has a lot of flexibility. And when I get stuck, there is a very quick and knowledgeable support team that responds quickly and can show me what needs to be done to achieve my design/function goal.

Cons

There are times when something in the software malfunctions or "gets stuck". I Google it, and usually find the solution. 2. When working on the front end, the window I see during the editing isn't always what you get when you exit the builder. This is especially true when working on mobile. Looks great on the screen in the mobile window, but when I see it on an actual phone, it's not correct. I admit that it seems to be better in recent months.

Pros

Divi is the gateway to boundless creativity and endless possibilities. It so easy to use and it is also easy to implement.

Cons

Their are no issues with Divi and nothing like cons.

Pros

Everything in general and above all, which is very important to me, the excellent technical support.

I like everything!! I miss the possibility of creating apps with Divi without knowing how to program

Pros

With Divi, it is straightforward to develop stunning websites without coding.

Cons

Every aspect works lit apart from high cost of acquiring some services such as domain registration.

Pros

VIP has been a life saver and a game changer for me. Soloprenuer.

Cons

Too many options. I would love a Divi University. I say that and there probably is one. Really, I can't think of anything. there is a ton of documentation.
