But why theTheme DiviIs it so popular with bloggers, developers, freelancers andWeb agencies? That could almost be annoying, wouldn't it?

To be honest, in my early days, when I discoveredWordPress, I only knewfree themes, those available in the tabAppearance > Themesand I quickly became aware of the limits imposed by the free themes...

So I started using premium themes purchased onThemeforest platform. Not only is it not given, but there is also a big sorting to do! We can find everything!

Good and at least good (to be nice), not to mention the many bugs during updates and above all, thisDamn it.(sorry about the term)Visual Composerthe majority of these premium themes, which do not want to be updated in due course and which can then constitutea security flaw...

Anyway, a real bowl, until a developer tells me about Divi by ElegantThemes. Kezako?Without losing a minute, I try it and then everything becomes clear, or almost...

In this article, I suggest you discover whyI chose to work with this WordPress theme. Here is the program:

  1. A Lifetime license
  2. Everything included in the license
  3. The Divi Builder
  4. TheDesign Initiative
  5. Easy to maintain
  6. Infinite customizations
  7. The advantage of importing and exporting layouts
  8. Library
  9. Community
  10. Tons of resources

Reason #1: Divi offers a lifetime license!

In my opinion,that's the number one reason for his success.. The ElegantThemes platform understood everything!

While everyone starts tooffer monthly subscriptionsYou want them to swim against the current and it's good for them.

To make it short,Divi is a premium themeavailableunder annual licence for an amount of $89or you can opt for aLife licensecalled also"lifetime license" for an amount of 249$, that you will pay only once and that you can use on an unlimited number of projects.

When you see that on ThemeForest, you buy a theme for between €50 and €90 and thatthe license is included for a single project, the calculation is quickly done : freelancers or web agencies are widely winning by choosing to work with this tool !

Learn more aboutthe Prize of the theme Diviand get comparisons with other WordPress themes. You're gonna be surprised!

Reason #2: the theme Divi and everything that follows...

You will have understood, if you design sites regularly, youearn money with the licenseproposed byElegantThemes.

The license, be itAnnualorlifetime, gives you access to all the themes and extesnions available on the platform : Divi, Extra,BloomandMonarch !

To satisfy the needs of allWebsite creators.

For my part, I use Divi exclusively. The themeExtrais rather "blog magazine" oriented and seems less flexible.

Reason #3: the famous Divi Builder

And what an argument thatDivi Builder !

TheDivi Builderis an extension that can be used with any WordPress theme. However, it is already included in Divi and Extra.

To avoid confusion, I suggest you discover thedifferences between Divi and Divi Builder.

It is a page builder, also calledBuilder Page. It's some kind of competitor ofVisual ComposerorElementorTo name but a few...

Thanks toDivi Builder, you can build your pages or articles with a complex layout, sections or colonizations without any effort.

Read this article forbetter understand how the Divi Builder works within Divi and WordPress.

In addition, since version 3.0, theDivi Builderoffers an experience inFront-End, that is, you will be able to change your pages on the live side, on the fly, while seeing your changes directly. This new option saves website creators crazy time.

Reason #4: "the Divi Design Initiative"

TheDivi Design Initiativehas been put in place to offer Divi usershundreds of pre-designed layout packswhich will save you crazy time when creating your web pages.

Theselayouts are all ready layoutswhich you can download directly from your page with theDivi Builder active.

To benefit from these benefits, you will, of course, need to be in possession of an active license, without forgetting to enter your API key inUpdate tabparameters of the theme.

Reason #5: Easy Maintenance

If you are a user of premium themes available on Themeforest, you must have noticed that some themes are difficult to update automatically, some even require you to manually install embedded plugins (via FTP)...

This is really not good for your customers or even for you.

Unlike ThemeForest, Divi offers a gateway that allows you to enter your API in order toupdate with a simple click its themeIt's a real happiness!

This is also one of the reasons why I regularly carry outsite redesigns with Divi.

Reason #6: a treat to customize!

This theme is relativelysimple to customisefrom the administration but also via aChild Theme.

The code is easy to read and edit even if you're not a developing crack, the proof is that I can do it myself!

Discover all mytutorials to customize Divi.

Divi natively allows to add custom codeIf this is not enough, you can count onextensions for Divithat will allow you to go further in customizing your site.

Moreover, since the appearance of thefeature of Theme BuilderAll designs are possible!

Reason #7: the ability to import and export layouts

A "layout" is the English word for "setting up," we discussed earlier.

When building a page via the Divi Builder, it is possibleto import or export this Divi layout.

It's a huge saving of time:

  • You will be able to export a layout built in site A and import it into site B,
  • You can save a layout in your library and use it later, within the same site
  • You can use a layout built by a designer and insert it into your site
  • etc.

Reason #8: Divi Library

TheDivi librarywill allow you to save a layout that you have just built in your site in order to use it later (as seen in the previous chapter).

In just a few clicks you can use your own layouts without having to duplicate your page or article upstream.

This technique joins a littleimport/export of layoutsbut internally and will save you valuable time.

Without forgetting that this library can also be used as a backup of a page orA/B Testing.

Reason #9: the incredible Divi community

SinceDivi is a very popular theme, a real community gravitating around him!

If you are stuck or looking for an answer to one of your questions, you will easily find help. By choosing this theme, you are not ONLY, unlike many othersWordPress themes.

Of course, you will often find tutorials in English but onDIVI ASTUCES, you will find someDivi tutorials in English AND Frenchand full of advice and resources!

Reason #10: tons of resources.

It joins the community a little... This theme arouses the enthusiasm of designers and developers who regularly createfree resourcesor premium products that can be of great help for your projects.

You will have no trouble finding Layouts and Child Themes for download on dedicated sites. You will even findfree plugins for Divi.

You're not convinced?

Divi is an easy to customise, use and maintain theme.

When I create websites for my clients, I am serene because there are rarely bugs, which is not the case for all premium themes.

But the biggest advantage is, as I told you, itsLIFETIME license.

Thanks to this, freelancers and web agencies quickly amortize the starting investment and can use it 10 or 10000 times, it won't change, so the license is very profitable.

And let us not forget to mention theTheme Builder featurewhich allows to customize the entire site.

    Bon, ok tu m’as convaincu 😀

  2. Lycia

    Super Florian ! C’est vrai que ça peut paraître cher au début mais c’est un vrai investissement ! C’est très vite rentabilisé…

  3. Fanny

    Bonjour,

    Avec des amis, on souhaite acheté le thème Divi et créer chacun son site depuis ce thème, est-ce possible ?
    Le but est de diviser le prix par personne.

    Merci d’avance

  4. Lycia

    Oui vous pouvez. Vous vous cotisez et l’un d’entre vous commande la licence. Ensuite, vous utilisez la Clé API pour recevoir les mises à jour. Un conseil, ne donnez pas votre clé API à n’importe qui. PS je crois qu’il y a une promo en ce moment 🙂

  5. Jean-Luc

    Bonjour
    Cela fais plus d’une semaine que je me renseigne a propos du thème Divi. et que je lit tout ce que je trouve a son propos.
    Et plus je parcours le web pour en savoir plus, plus je suis convaincu que je vais choisir ce thème.
    Merci pour vos commentaires.

  6. Allan

    Bonjour,

    Par rapport aux clients, il n’auront pas accès à mes identifiants DIVI ?
    L’ensemble des layouts est-elle assez large pour convenir au plus grand nombre ?

  7. Lycia

    Bonjour Allan. Vos identifiants Divi sont masqués. Une fois que vous les saisissez, on ne le voit pas. Du coup on ne peut pas les récupérer. Concernant les layouts, il y en a déjà beaucoup qui couvrent de nombreuses thématiques. Chaque thématique est composée de plusieurs layouts (6 à 8) pour avoir un site complet (page accueil, contact, service etc). Et comme ils sont « proactifs » chez ElegantThemes, de nouveaux packs de layouts sont ajoutés chaque mois.

  8. Julien Dumont

    Bonjour Lycia,

    J’étais très convaincu du thème DIVI en regardant ton excellent site mais maintenant que je l’ai depuis 24h, je me pose beaucoup de questions car ça ne fonctionne pas du tout…
    Je crée des pages et articles mais lorsque je publie, rien ne s’affiche… vraiment bizarre…
    Exemple : je vais sur mon tableau de bord, je vais ensuite sur article pour prendre ma page d’accueil, j’édite avec Divi, j’ajoute une simple image, je sauvegarde et je quitte le visual builder. Ensuite je visualise ma page et rien à part … J’ai tenté beaucoup de chose mais rien… je désespère un peu.
    Si tu as une idée, je suis preneur.
    Merci.
    Julien

    Salut Julien,

    Avec plus de 550.000 licences vendues, ça se saurait si ce thème ne marchait pas 😉 … Il peut y avoir de nombreuses raisons pour que vous rencontriez des problèmes.

    Par exemple :

    – quelle version PHP utilisez-vous ? Au minimum, vous devriez être en 7.2 ou au pire en 7.0. Cela se gère depuis votre hébergeur (pas depuis WordPress).
    – ensuite, il existe un nouvel onglet dans Divi qui vous permet de voir ce qui ne va pas : onglet Divi > Support Center
    – aussi, la nouvelle version de WordPress (5.2) propose un nouvel onglet pour vérifier la santé de votre site : onglet Outils > Santé du site. Là aussi, vous pourriez trouver des infos utiles.
    – je serais vous, je DÉSACTIVERAIS tous mes plugins. Si Divi fonctionne quand tous vos plugins sont désactivés, c’est qu’il existe un conflit. Avant chaque réactivation individuelle de vos plugins, vous devez tester si Divi fonctionne. Réactivez vos plugins 1 à 1 jusqu’à trouver s’il y en a un qui fait conflit avec Divi.

    Si après tout cela, Divi ne marche toujours pas, je vous conseille de contacter directement le support Client.

    J’espère vous avoir aidé. Tenez-moi au courant !

    Bon weekend

  10. Loidon

    Bonjour je dois développer mon site pour vendre des circuits touristiques et je souhaite que les clients achètent depuis le site avec carte bleue et plus tard vendre des produits artisanaux. Quelle est la plage forme que l’on peut installer pour que cela fonctionne avec d’ici ?
    Merci je dois me décider rapidement.

  11. Lycia Diaz

    Bonjour Loidon,
    Pour vos besoins, je dirais qu’il suffit d’utiliser WordPress + Divi + WooCommerce. Pour accepter les paiements en ligne, je vous conseille la solution STRIPE qu’il faudra relier à WooCommerce.

  12. Flo

    Bonjour,
    Je suis graphiste Freelance et souhaite me lancer sur Divi pour certains de mes clients. Comment cela fonctionne t-il ? Si je prend l’abonnement à vie, puis je en faire bénéficier mes clients ? A savoir que mes clients prendront leur propre hébergeur et me transmettront leur code par la suite. Vont-il avoir également les mises à jour ?
    Merci pour votre retour

  13. Lycia Diaz

    Bonsoir Flo.
    Oui, ta licence à vie est justement faite pour ça. Tu l’achètes et tu la mets dans le site de tes clients, ainsi, ils bénéficieront des mises à jour à vie.
    À chaque nouveau projet, tu édites une nouvelle clé API que tu attribues à ton client. Ces clés API sont illimitées.
    De plus, c’est un argument commercial pour toi : tu indiques sur le devis que la licence Divi est « offerte » (valeur 250$) avec mises à jour incluse.
    C’est le seul thème WP qui propose ce type de plan et il est très intéressant pour les agences et les freelances car cette licence est vite amortie.
    Bonne continuation à toi 😉

  14. Michele

    bonjour
    merci pour cette mise au point
    existe t il des formations Divi et wordpress pour débutants?
    je dois faire un site vitrine en 5 mois sans vente en ligne
    merci

  15. Jean.D

    Après deux semaines je ne suis pas parvenu à installer la version Premium, malgré les conseils d’Elegant Thèmes et de mon hébergeur..
