I love using the Divi theme, the amount of layouts they have is ideal for my needs and the Technical support via chat is fantastic! Elegant Themes’ “Divi Theme” really does have so much to offer! I recommend anyone interested in an easy to use theme, should try the FREE Trial of Divi Theme. What do they have to lose?
Hey thanks for this post!
Greatly appreciated. Currently I’m using a WordPress theme however like you have stated it can get annoying at times, and it seems like I’m missing out on something. Divi theme sounds interesting and if it’s a word press theme then the switch shall be easy. The Divi theme does have some awesome features!
Thank you for your comments on this post!
Divi truly is an amazing Theme and so easy to use. I recommend that anyone wanting to try a Theme with a difference should try the FREE Trial of Divi Theme by Elegant Themes. Divi has great Technical support too, so just reach out to them in their chat and they will reply quickly and assist with the option of them resolving problems for you on your website if you want.
I am in the affiliate marketing field for the last 5 years and today I own 4 successful websites. I have been using the free themes provided by the wealthy affiliate in order to set up my websites but now I am thinking of getting a paid one to add more customization options on all 4 of my websites. The Divi theme seems to be a good option for me. Apart from this, I have also looked for thrive theme. Can you advise me which will be a better option for me with more customization options as an online affiliate marketer?
Thank you for your comments.
I think we all started out with the Free themes initially so we could find out feet.
With the Divi Theme, you can buy it yearly or pay a one off fee for Life. The life option in my opinion is a no brainer if you can afford the little extra. At the time of writing the Yearly cost is $89 and the Lifetime Offer is $249.
I have not had any experience of Thrive so cannot fairly comment on that one. I believe you need to look at the big picture as to what they offer and does it meet your requirements?
The Divi Theme really does meet all my needs and I love the amount of free layouts it comes with and there is an option to buy Premium “Market Place” Layouts too which is always growing.
Not only does Divi provide you with Layouts, you also get access to Extra (The Ultimate Magazine WordPress Theme & Visual Builder), Bloom (eMail Opt-In and Lead Generation Plugin For Word Press) and Monarch (Social Media Sharing Plugin)
I do note that Thrive comes with a $299 yearly subscription or $99 Quarterly which makes it more expensive.
Hope this helps you.
I haven’t heard of the Divi theme yet, as I use Generate Press theme. Maybe the Divi theme is a bit easier to work with and to have a better design for my website, I am not sure yet. If there is a free trial, then I would try it out. Also I would wonder if this them would make my website heavier to load, I will just need to try it out and see.
Thank you for the comments.
I have not used Generate Press so I couldn’t compare the two unfortunately. I do know that Divi Theme is fantastic and has so many options available within it.
Divi Theme does offer a Free Trial if you are interested.
With regards to performance issues, I have had no issues what so ever.
As mentioned to a previous commenter the Divi Theme is available yearly or you can pay a one off fee for Life. The Lifetime option in my opinion is a no brainer if you can afford the little extra. At the time of writing the Yearly cost is $89 and the Lifetime Offer is $249.

I am not sure but does Generate Plus offer Technical Support via Chat or just by raising a Ticket via a form? With Divi, their support is by either method and every time I have had an issue, I have used Chat and received a very quick response and solution to my technical issues.
