The Divi theme is the most popular WordPress theme in the world. The Divi theme makes it easy to create websites using their visual builder. You see how your website looks while you are creating your website. It is a drag and drop builder.

In this tutorial, we will create a professional website that I would sell to a client for $3.000 - $5.000.

Awesome Tutorial Mate! I got a client request for a Wordpress Website. Since I normally work with JS Frameworks like Angular & Next, I needed some guidance and found your tutorial. I can't even describe how much you helped me! Thank you so much for what you're doing, I really like your style (the way you present/ talk & all the little features like showling the favicons in a different angle)! Keep on going and have a nice day!

[markleeeting]

You know I love watching this guy he is a comedian and a web designer!! Can only imagine if a customer doesn't pay a bill! "Oh you don't want to pay? Ok one second! Now look at your website!" not there? " Exactly!

I've been building sites with Divi now for a couple years and this video has shown me things I've never seen before, which will save me a lot of time and peace of mind....

[danielkaku]

FERDY, there is NO tutor on youtube in my entire youtube life that gives out enough content than you. Please, YES, the video explaining all the models will be a great help. I cannot wait for that bell.

[DrTriciaGroff]

I LOVE the unexpected humor. The content is amazing--long story short is that I'm completely rebuilding my site and decided to take it step-by-step instead of jumping in with trial and error like I normally do. I appreciate the teaching method, and the ability to follow in real-time...but your personality has me laughing out loud, alone on my balcony, like a madwoman.

[corywatts]

I know im a year late but I was just laid off and I decided to re-skill myself and follow what i want to do. Im so grateful for this video it helped a lot. Thank you!

[NikiOR]

God Bless You. I was going to quit after already having a full Divi account. Got discouraged with the set up on the hosting sites. And not being able to find a decent video that goes step by step. I figured many things on my own, but everything was taking so long without any decent guidance. This puts me back in the game because I am very visually creative and all I wanted is to be able to use "the paint brush" so to speak without having to go out there and chop wood for the handle. Thank you so much for your service. Grateful!!

[CoachKenSteven]

Thank you, Ferdy, for this comprehensive overview of how to get started using DIVI. This is exactly all I wanted to learn from a single tutorial. Your decision to have one video for all the basic essentials as the starting point, and then separate videos for the specialty areas that may only apply to fewer people, is spot on in my opinion.

[DaveDaDude]

I purchased the lifetime Divi membership well over a year ago, but have not used it since. I just buy new themes/templates based off my clients preference. But I am glad that I found your YT channel, which explains Divi so easy and comprehensive. Thanks Ferdy!

[joshuagoodman]

I don't usually comment on YouTube videos. But, you, my friend, have hands down the best webdesign tutorials on YouTube. This judgement comes after pouring over 100 hours into trying to wrap my head around web design. Subscription earned!

[digital-b]

The amount of effort you put into your videos is just amazing. Thank you for your dedication and for thinking about us newbies and for making our lives easier. I'm not sure there are enough thank yous that will really express how grateful we are for your work. Praying for your continued success and more blessings.

[carpathianshepherdess]

This is a great video and I'm so glad you kept it down to three hours but signposted where to find the other specialty build videos. I recently worked with a client who had an emergency rebuild. She couldn't get anyone else to do it. It was the Extra theme and not only had I never used that theme before but I had never used Divi! So I crammed your tutorial for the Extra theme and was able to help my client. Your tutorial was so helpful that I have gone back and am now watching all your Divi and Divi related content to learn more about using them. I'm usually a Hello/Elementor Pro user, but after following your Divi tutorials, the Elegant Themes package might just now be my go-to for wordpress development 😊. Thanks for all the work you put into these videos; you're doing so much for the wordpress community 🎉

[kostlelmnts]

The Piano drama skit 😂🤣 You are the best! Thank you for this video!

[RussCrowley]

I purchased several Udemy courses to help me learn Divi and build my site(s), and your video here knocks the socks off of all of them. Many thanks.

[agnisdesigners]

I loved your tutorials... Thank you so much.... I am using Elegant Themes over 10 years but didn't used much divi. But now I got confidence. AVADA and DIVI are my all time favorite themes

[MrEstherons]

Hello, I have just gone 41 minutes and I can't wait to say this, you're an excellent teacher. Very easy to understand. Now I can save on buying multiple themes by building them myself using the Divi Builder.

[deprotech]

Hi Ferdy, you are a global asset. You are a blessing to the global community. Really, I can't get the right words to describe how helpful you are to us. You share knowledge all your heart out. I just found you on the YouTube and I just fell in love with your tutorials. I have been training for decades and I have found out that you have a special gift of sharing information. It has taken me over 24 months working on my business website using Divi. I have used so many different tutorials but non has been so straightforward and detailed as yours. I struggled but now that I have found you, I'm confident that I will take my web design to the next level. Trust me, I will support you in whichever manner I can from Africa. Stay blessed, my man. You have my full support online.

[DivingDiscoveries]

This is brilliant. You have shared knowledge which is clear and easy to follow, even for someone like me who is an absolute beginner.
I was hesitant in getting Divi as I did not know where or how to start, but now I feel confident enough to navigate through its options and settings, thanks to your tutorials. I want to adopt you.
Thank you again!

[MilesM]

Having now tried watching many tutorials in my quest to learn Divi properly from the ground up, finally I have found one that clicks for me and covers things at a good pace, and nice little light hearted amusing bits to help break up the chunks of info, awesome! Thanks for the tutorials, really helpful!

[jordanharrison]

This was absolutely amazing. Literally built 3 client websites using this free tutorial plus my own. Thanks!
