The fabulous Divi Visual Builder… just got better
When Elegant Themes added the Visual Builder to the Divi theme, it changed forever the way we create websites.

The Visual Builder is an interface that “is a joy to use” and it really does allow non techies to unleash their design skills and concentrate on creating not coding.
