In this review, we will take a closer look at the features and capabilities of Divi, as well as its performance, support, developer-friendliness, and pricing.

Major features

Visual Drag-and-Drop Page Builder

Generally speaking, visual page builder allow users to create and design web pages by simply dragging and dropping modules into their locations. This makes it easy for users to create custom layouts and designs without needing to write any line of code.

Divi takes that further and ships with what I consider the best visual page-building experience.

The fidelity of what is being edited and the end result are the same. Other builders usually have subtle differences.

Built-in Modules

Divi includes 200+ built-in modules for adding features like forms, pricing tables, and sliders to a website. These modules can be easily added to pages and customized to match a user’s design.

Customization and Design Options

Divi’s visual editor allows users to customize and design website elements with options ranging from basic, such as fonts, colors, and spacing, to advanced, such as transitions, conditions, and scroll effects.

It’s also hand-coding-friendly if you need extra JavaScript or CSS for your pages.

Pre-designed Layouts and Templates

Layouts and templates are a must-have for page builders. They can be used as a starting point for creating a website and save time and effort.

Divi comes with a large selection of 2000+ pre-designed layouts and layouts packs. These templates cover various industries and styles and can be easily customized to match a user’s brand and aesthetic.

User Interface

The building experience is top-notch.

Controls are intuitive, and the responsiveness of contextual windows is immediate.

Thanks to their options search feature, you can hardly get lost or require assistance figuring out where to find what.

Functionality

Divi does its intended job without impeding creativity or freedom to apply the desired layout.

Divi used to be one of the slowest page builders out there.

Starting from version 4.8, substancial performance improvements were introduced in both the page building experience and resulting page ont he front end.
