Building beautiful Divi layouts shouldn’t take hours of trial and error. These five techniques will transform how you work with the Divi Builder, making your design process faster and your sites more professional.

First, master section and row structure. Understanding how sections, rows, and columns interact gives you complete control over your layouts. Use full-width sections for hero areas, regular sections for contained content, and specialty sections for unique designs. Divi Machine takes this further by letting you create dynamic section templates that populate automatically.

Second, leverage spacing options strategically. Padding and margin settings control the breathing room in your designs. Use consistent spacing values to create visual rhythm. The key is establishing a spacing scale—like 20px, 40px, 60px—and sticking to it across your site.

Third, utilize global colors and fonts. Define your brand colors once, then use them throughout your site. When you need to update your color scheme, change the global value and watch your entire site update instantly. This saves hours of manual updates and ensures design consistency.

Fourth, build with mobile-first thinking. Start your designs on mobile, then enhance for larger screens. Divi Mobile extends these capabilities with advanced mobile controls that give you pixel-perfect control over how your site looks on smartphones and tablets.

Fifth, create reusable layouts and save them to your library. Build a collection of section templates for common page elements—headers, pricing tables, testimonial blocks, contact forms. This speeds up future projects and maintains consistency across multiple sites.

These techniques form the foundation of efficient Divi development. Master them, and you’ll build sites faster while producing better results.

Repetitive WordPress tasks eat up hours that could be spent on actual design and content creation. Divi Machine automates these workflows so you can focus on what matters.

Page generation happens automatically. Instead of building individual team member pages, create one template and let Divi Machine generate pages from your team member posts. Add a new team member by creating a post, not building an entire page. This works for any repeating content—products, services, case studies, locations, events.

Content updates become effortless. Change your template design and watch all generated pages update instantly. No more clicking through dozens of pages making the same edit over and over. One change updates everything.

Archive and listing pages build themselves. Divi Machine creates beautiful grids and lists of your content automatically. Filter, sort, and paginate results without writing code. Users can browse your products, portfolio, or blog posts with a polished, professional interface.

Integration with Advanced Custom Fields unlocks unlimited possibilities. Pull in any custom data and display it beautifully. Build complex page layouts that combine multiple data sources. Create relationship-based content where pages link to related items automatically.

The query builder gives you precise control over what content appears where. Show only featured products, display posts from specific categories, exclude certain items, limit results by date—the flexibility is enormous.

Templates can be reused across multiple sites. Build a library of common page types—product pages, team member profiles, case study layouts—and deploy them on client sites in minutes instead of hours.

Stop building pages manually. Let Divi Machine handle the repetitive work while you focus on design and strategy.
