Want to build a professional-looking WordPress website with ease? The Divi Theme in WordPress can help you create your dream website quickly and easily. Learn how to get started with this comprehensive guide that covers installation, customization, and more.
Install and Activate Divi Theme in WordPress.
Installing and activating Divi Theme in WordPress is easy and can be done within a few minutes. First, you’ll need to download the installation package from your Elegant Themes account. After that, go to your WordPress dashboard, select “Themes” under the “Appearance” menu and then click on the “Add New” button. From the next page, click on the “Upload Theme” button and then select the file you just downloaded. Finally, click on the “Activate” button to complete the process.
Set up Your Site with A Clean Layout.
The Divi theme offers an intuitive page builder and a variety of page components. You can easily create a clean, modern design by using the theme’s pre-built sections and elements. Each of these features can be moved and tailored to fit whichever design direction you want to go. With the included options, such as backgrounds, hover effects, shape dividers, buttons, and more both your text and imagery will stand out beautifully on your website pages.
Choose a Design Option from the Divi Theme Library.
Begin by selecting a design from the page library. This includes editorial-style posts, full-width headers, multiple-column templates, team pages, and more. Each design option comes with unique page elements that you can modify according to your website’s specifications. You can delete sections or components that don’t fit with your theme and add new ones to enhance the presentation of each page.
Add Text, Images, and Video Elements to Your Layout.
Once you have chosen a design for your WordPress website, adding text, images, and video elements to your layout won’t be hard. Simply click the “+” icon next to each element and customize it the way you want — choose a font, color, or style of item. You can also change the size, shape, and speed of any animation that appears on your page. With Divi Theme, customizing a website has never been easier!
Customize the Look and Feel of Your Website with CSS Styling.
For advanced users, you can also customize the look of your website with CSS – giving you full control over the design and layout of each page. For example, you can add a margin around a text block, or remove the borders on an image element. You can also change the font size and color of headings or adjust the padding to give your site a polished look. With Divi’s CSS styling options, you have control over every element on your site!
