Divi ChatEP28 – Tools We Use Outside of WordPressTools! Tools! Tools! We'd be nowhere without them right? Of course we all use Divi and WordPress but we wouldn't be able to properly run our businesses without so many other great products and services out there. Today we discuss some of our favorite tools, from project management to screencasting and more. We'll probably revisit this and break it up into specific categories since we realized halfway through the chat that there are just so many great resources out there to cover. Resources Mentioned: Project Management Asana Redbooth Basecamp Slack Trello Remote Updates ManageWP InfiniteWP iThemes Sync Client and/or T...

Divi ChatEP18 – Using the Visual Builder (Or Not!!!)Aaaah the Divi Visual Builder. Divi 3.0 really changed the game with it’s latest release as even more users flocked to Elegant Themes as word of it’s new frontend page builder spread. Some would argue frontend page builders are the future of web design, and certainly it’s a bit of a no-brainer that ET threw their newest product into the mix.

Divi ChatEP17 – Divi Chat’s Favorite Divi PluginsWhere would the iPhone be without the App Store? Or where would WordPress be without WordPress plugins? We think the same could be said about the Divi platform and Divi plugins. Over the last few years, Divi has “grown up” and has become a full blown platform/ecosystem/framework. Now Divi plugins are essential for delivering additional functionality to Divi that isn’t included in the builder by default. Elegant Themes will never build in everything possible directly into Divi. Instead, they encourage users to install 3rd party plugins to achieve things that Divi can’t do out of the box...
