Divi
Key Applications
- Creating visually rich business or portfolio websites with built-in templates and design modules.
- Building WooCommerce stores with product layouts, conditional content, and split-testing product pages.
- A/B/split testing of design variations to optimize conversion and user engagement.
- Using visual builder to design custom headers, footers, global styles without coding.
Who It’s For
Divi is for WordPress site owners, designers, freelancers, and agencies who need powerful design flexibility and are willing to invest a bit of time learning the tool. It solves pain points like limited design control, dependency on many plugins for layout/customization, and inconsistent site design. For those who want full visual creativity, advanced features (like A/B testing, conditional logic), and lifetime value rather than recurring costs, Divi is a strong choice. Less ideal for those who need super lightweight themes, minimal setup, or are just starting with basic websites.

How It Compares
- Versus Astra / GeneratePress: Divi includes more built-in design & conversion tools, but may be heavier and slower without optimization. bloggerspassion.com
- Versus Elementor: Divi’s builder is powerful and integrated, but some users find Elementor more intuitive for certain tasks; Divi’s builder may involve more learning.
- Versus using separate theme + plugins: With Divi, many functionalities (headers, footers, testing, modules) are packaged together, reducing the need for many separate plugins. But this packaging can increase complexity.
Bullet Point Features
- Visual drag-and-drop builder with WYSIWYG live preview Large library of templates/layout packs (premade sites, blocks).
- Global design settings: typography, colors, responsive controls, style management.
- Conversion tools: split testing, conditional display, WooCommerce integration Lifetime pricing option + unlimited site usage under license.
