DIYers and Web designer, can’t go past the Divi Theme for its versatility and ease of use.
What is Divi?
Divi is an all-in-one WordPress theme and website builder that lets you create a professional-looking site without needing any tech skills. It comes with an easy drag-and-drop editor and ready-made designs you can customise to fit your business. If you’d like to buy Divi, it’s available directly from the creators at Elegant Themes. If you’re planning on creating multiple websites, you can SAVE BIG! with their Lifetime License Deal.
Why Follow Divi Influencers?
You’re probably here planning an epic website build, you need to know how to do something very specific, or you’re stuck somewhere between “I’ve so got this” and “why is my header floating in the footer?”… Then as a novice might realise this whole web design thing might be a tad more complicated than you thought!
Well, that’s where Divi influencers come in — the generous humans who make tutorials, share freebies, and basically rescue DIYers and even professional web designers from crying into their coffee at midnight. Bookmark these names, their websites and YouTube Channels are full of instructional how-to videos!
The Influencer List
Not listed in any particular order of preference, each one of these has their own professional style and I just love learning from them.
1. Divi Lover (Ania Romańska)
The Pinterest board of the Divi world. Ania makes layouts so clean you’ll want to frame them. She hands out free CSS tricks like Oprah hands out cars — except instead of a vehicle, you get a website section that actually looks good.
2. Pee-Aye Creative (Nelson Miller)
If Divi had a handyman, it’d be Nelson. Need a tutorial that won’t make you question your life choices? He’s your guy. Bonus points for plugins that fill all the “Why can’t Divi just do that?” gaps.
3. Josh Hall
Part Divi tutor, part business pep-talk coach. He’ll teach you web design and convince you you’re capable of more than rearranging a header and hoping for the best.
4. Ferdy Korpershoek
The binge-watch champion. You go to Ferdy’s channel for “one quick video” and emerge four hours later with a full Divi site and a weird craving for Stroopwafels.
🎥 Start building with this one
5. Divi Life (Tim Strifler)
Tim’s the guy who turns “I wish my site could…” into “Look, it can!” with plugins, templates, and freebies that actually enhance Divi by adding more functionality to make professional design easy.
If you’re adding functionality to multiple websites and you dislike the idea of paying for subscriptions – don’t miss out on Divi Life’s lifetime deal, where license holders get lifetime access to their entire Divi Product Portfolio for a one time payment with the All Access Pass.
🎥 Watch him share business tips
6. MAK (Augustine “Mak”)
The behind-the-scenes maestro of Divi video tutorials. If you’re wondering who’s the friendly face in those Divi demos and how on earth they film them—and keep it looking polished—that’s Mak. He builds Divi layouts and courses under Funnels To Income, and basically makes learning Divi through video feel like watching your favourite barista explain latte art.

When Your DIY Website Becomes The Most Expensive Thing You Own
Following these legends can get you most of the way there. You’ll pick up tricks, polish your pages, and maybe even fix that one section that’s been haunting you.
But, have you considered that you might be leaving money on the table if your website is looking unprofessional – particularly if it’s having functionality issues, pages load slowly, the site offers a poor user experience, is practically invisible on the search engine, people can’t find what they’re looking for and web pages are cluttered?
A website’s primary goal is to do the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to. It also needs to build consumer trust, drive traffic from the search engine organically, attract the right audience, provide a good user experience, engage site visitors and convert them to clients.
So, when you factor in all that time, lost revenue, and hidden risks, suddenly your website isn’t just an online brochure — it’s the most expensive thing you own because it’s silently eating your money, energy, and sanity.
That’s where I come in. I help time-poor, non-tech business owners swap the guesswork and late-night Googling for a professional Divi site that:
- Looks like it cost a fortune (but actually, it’s more affordable than the potential losses from a less-than-perfect website).
- Works beautifully on desktop and mobile.
- Actually helps you make more sales.
Let’s chat about turning your “almost there” Divi site into a customer magnet.
