Divi 4 -> Divi 5

Divi – the most popular WordPress theme builder is getting a major upgrade with the launch of Divi 5.

Curious why WordPress is our website builder of choice? Read up on why WordPress is our pick of the bunch.

Some of the new features and benefits that Divi 5 boasts are:

A Leaner Framework

Divi has always been modular, meaning it only loads what you use. With Divi 5’s steamlined framework, your site will:

  • Load less code and result in a faster site, making it much quicker for visitors to browse
  • Perform better in Google search results (since site speed is a ranking factor)
  • Deliver a near-instant experience that keeps users engaged.

Preset-Based Styling

Want a button style, heading, or section layout to look the same across your whole site? By defining presets, you can replicate a certain style instantly and make a change that automatically applies everywhere. That means less repetitive editing and we’ll take that as a win!

Global Variables

With Divi 5, you can define global colours and fonts used in line with your brand. This means that there won’t be the need to reset colours or fonts every time you add a new page and you can eliminate mismatched branding or ‘off-brand’ content. Save time on building entirely new elements.

Dynamic Content Layout

For content that changes regularly – like blog posts, product listings, or property pages on a real-estate site – Divi 5 makes it easy to create dynamic layouts. No matter how the information updates, your pages will retain a clean and consistent layout without needing constant redesigns as new content is added. We say ‘yay’ to having a user-friendly layout every time, no matter how much your site grows!

Advanced Interactions

Want your website to feel more alive and interactive? Divi 5 makes it easy to set up clever interactions and animations without compromising on page speed. For example, the upgrade could allow you to make an element turn invisible if a specific elements has the mouse hovering over it.  The possibilites here are endless and can result in creating a very smart looking and animated website whilst maintaining a fast loading speed.

Exiting stuff! Whether you are looking for a training session of making website changes or just need a top-up on how to get the most of your Divi configuration, get in touch!
