The feature that gives Divi its power and makes it unique is the the Divi Builder. The Builder allows you to create stunning layouts by dragging and dropping Divi’s building blocks into whatever order you like… without touching a single line of code.
Combine the Divi Builder with Divi modules, which allow you to add contact forms, sliders, newsletter opt-ins, portfolios etc. to your website, and it’s easy to see why Divi has become Elegant Themes #1 selling theme and why it’s built up a fabulous community of users including its own Facebook group.
But don’t think that Divi is just a drag and drop pagebuilder theme, because it offers so much more.
“You can do just about anything imaginable, simply by toggling options on and off. You have full control over colors and fonts, and the layout options provide infinite possibilities.
If you don’t know how to code your own WordPress theme, but you want a beautiful custom website, Divi may be just the theme you’re looking for.”

#1 – Divi is a Sucuri Safe Theme… reviewed and certified by Sucuri
Let’s start with the Cinderella of WordPress themes, security.
It may not be the most glamorous reason for choosing a theme, but it’s difficult to get creative with your design… if your site has been hacked.
And don’t think that all WordPress themes are secure. Take a look at this article if you need a gentle reminder that some themes contain vulnerabilities just waiting to be exploited: High Risk Security Vulnerability Discovered and Patched in Pagelines and Platform Themes
Security audit by Sucuri
When I think WordPress security I think Sucuri because they specialise in Malware Monitoring, Alerting and Cleanup and they are recommended by major organisations such as CNN, USAToday, PC World, Tech Crunch and The Next Web.
So it’s great news that Elegant Themes partnered with Sucuri.net to carry out a security audit and what did Sucuri find? They found that Divi had… zero security issues.
Awarded the Sucuri Seal
During the security audit not a single security issue was found and Divi was awarded the Sucuri Security Seal.
This is what Sucuri had to say after the audit:
The code audit found 0 issues. Because of the rarity of an event like this, the review was performed multiple times, each time with the same results. Exceptional job by the Elegant Theme development team.
It is the opinion of the review team that this theme was developed extremely well and as such, the Divi Theme is deserving of the Safe Theme seal. No significant issues were identified during the vulnerability assessment. No issues were identified in the code audit. Sucuri Team
#2 – Get up and running quickly with out of the box pre-made layouts
Divi is supported with videos and text documents, which make it one of the best documented themes on the web, but it still takes time to learn how to create Divi pages and add the functionality you need.
Fortunately Divi comes with gorgeous premade layouts including business pages, portfolio pages, landing pages, sales pages and contact pages.
20+ Pre-Made layouts straight out of the box
Divi comes with over 20 pre-made layouts straight out of the box. These beautiful layouts can be used to quick-start your new projects by allowing you to build new pages in just a few minutes.
Build your sites quickly with pre-made layouts
When you build a site you can use the premade layouts provided by Elegant Themes but you can also create, save and load your own custom layouts for future use.
You can even export layouts for use on other sites – a great time saver if you are working on several sites.
“As if by magic…When you familiarize yourself with Divi’s range of features, are comfortable with the default styling, and know what your site needs, you can easily put together a stunning, fully responsive website with beautiful parallax effects and animation in no time. A simple five-page test site came together in a few hours, looked and worked fabulously.”

#5 – Ever growing Divi community and resources
A measure of Divi’s success is the community that has rapidly grown up around it and that community has produced some fabulous Divi resources including:
- Divi child themes – setup a Divi child theme by creating your own child theme, using a ready-made child theme or using a plugin to create a child theme.
- Change Divi footer links and style the social icons – step by step instructions on how to change the Divi footer links and style the social icons.
- Add Divi Pagebuilder functionality to posts – add Divi Pagebuilder functionality to posts as well as pages by adding code to your functions.php file or using a plugin.
- Tweaking your Divi theme… CSS for Divi – change the font size, increase the padding and lots of other CSS tips and tricks.
When the Divi theme was first released I realised that it would soon become the #1 choice for many creative designers and developers… that’s why I started this Divi dedication website.
What I didn’t realise was just how popular it would be, how creative people would become with it, and how quickly the Divi support community would grow.
