Why This Course?

Divi 5 is the biggest update to Elegant Themes’ page builder in years — faster, lighter, future-proof. But if you’re new to websites, the jargon can feel overwhelming.

That’s why I built this course:

  • 60 free lessons that take you from “I want a website” → “I built one.”

  • Each lesson includes a video + beginner-friendly tutorial.

  • Clear, step-by-step guidance with zero fluff.

I struggled when I built my first site. You don’t have to.

What You’ll Learn

Stage 1: Get Online

Domains, Hosting, WordPress, and Divi
We’ll start from zero. You’ll learn how to choose a domain name, set up reliable hosting, and install WordPress. Then we’ll add Divi 5 — your visual design toolkit. By the end of this stage, you’ll have a blank website live and ready to build on.

Stage 2: Build & Design

Layouts, Styling, Customizing Your Site
Now the fun part begins! You’ll discover how to use Divi’s drag-and-drop builder to design pages, style text and images, and create layouts that look professional. We’ll cover headers, footers, navigation, and everything you need to shape your brand’s online home.

Stage 3: Grow

Plugins, SEO, and All That
Once your site looks great, it’s time to make it powerful. You’ll add plugins to extend features, learn SEO basics to attract visitors, and optimize for speed and security. This stage helps your site grow — whether that means more traffic, sales, or subscribers.

Learn Divi 5 in 2026

If you’re searching for the best way to learn Divi 5 in 2025, this course was built for you. Divi remains one of the most popular WordPress page builders, and with version 5 it’s faster, leaner, and future-ready.

  • How to set up WordPress with the right hosting.
  • How to install Divi and customize it for your site.
  • How to design pages with drag-and-drop modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding skills?
Nope! This course is 100% beginner-friendly. You’ll be using Divi 5’s visual drag-and-drop builder, which means you can design entire pages without writing a single line of code. That said, if you ever want to explore custom tweaks later, you’ll be well-prepared to do so — but it’s completely optional.
Do I need to pay for the course?

No. The course itself is free. The only costs are your website essentials: hosting, a domain name, and Divi (I’ll recommend the best-value options along the way). I provide affiliate links if you want to support my work at no extra cost to you.

How long does it take?

That depends on your pace. Some students binge the lessons over a weekend and launch their site in just a few days. Others spread it out and work on their website an hour at a time. Since each lesson is short and practical, you can learn whenever it fits into your schedule.

Why Divi instead of Elementor?
Both are popular builders, but Divi 5 brings major performance improvements: it’s faster, lighter, and more stable. Unlike Elementor, one Divi license covers unlimited websites, making it a better long-term investment if you plan to build more than one site.
Do I need to buy hosting and a domain first?

Yes, you’ll need hosting and a domain so your website can be live on the internet. Don’t worry — I’ll walk you through the setup step by step, recommend affordable options, and even show you how to install WordPress in a few clicks.

Can I use this course if I already have a WordPress site?

Absolutely! If your WordPress site is already live but you’ve never used Divi, you can jump right in at the “Install Divi” lesson and follow along from there.

Do I need to buy Divi before I start?

You can watch the lessons without Divi, but to build your site alongside me, you’ll need it installed. Since this is a hands-on course, I recommend grabbing Divi early so you can follow every step in real time.

Will the lessons stay updated?

Yes! Since Divi 5 is a major release, I’ll keep this course updated as new features roll out as best I can. That way, you won’t be stuck with outdated tutorials that no longer match your screen. Do note there may be a delay on some of the updates though.

Can I follow this on a local setup (not live online)?

Yes — I even include a bonus lesson on installing WordPress locally using Local by Flywheel. This lets you practice privately on your computer before publishing your site online.

What if I get stuck?

Each lesson includes clear instructions, but if you hit a roadblock, you’ll find comments and community support on my YouTube channel. Plus, I’ll link you to extra resources for troubleshooting common beginner issues.
