Divi

Divi is a WordPress theme and page builder developed by Elegant Themes. It provides a visual front-end editor and a library of templates for building websites without coding. Originally released as the Divi Theme, it expanded to include the Divi Builder, a standalone plugin that can be used with any WordPress theme, and later integrated into a broader design framework that combines theme, builder, and customization tools.

Key features of Divi include a drag-and-drop Visual Builder that renders changes on the live site, responsive design controls, and a large collection of pre-made layouts and layout packs. Users can apply global presets for colors and fonts, create custom headers and footers through the Divi Theme Builder, and design dynamic templates for posts and pages. The toolkit supports integration with WooCommerce and offers support for dynamic content and multiple post types, enabling site-wide consistency and flexibility.

Divi is distributed under a commercial license from Elegant Themes, with annual and lifetime access options that include updates and customer support. It is widely used by designers, agencies, and developers to deliver custom WordPress sites quickly, aided by a large ecosystem of third-party layouts and add-ons. Reviews of Divi often note its powerful, all-in-one approach and the learning curve associated with mastering its extensive features, as well as concerns raised about performance on very large pages and the proprietary nature of the product.

In practice, Divi serves as a comprehensive tool for visual website building within the WordPress ecosystem, emphasizing speed, consistency, and design flexibility.
