Welcome to the 12 Days of Divi - a bit of festive fun to get your website fired up for the New Year.

In case you haven't tinkered with your site for a while, here's a quick overview to get you back up and running fast. 

Up to 50% of your website traffic may be from a mobile device, so it's crucial that your pages display correctly across all devices. Let's have a look at how you can optimise your pages so they look great everywhere. 

It’s quite hard on WordPress to actually lose work and never be able to get it back. Let’s have a look at where it may have disappeared to. 

Let’s explore this untapped feature which you may not have even noticed at your fingertips

This is one of the most common questions I’m asked and I can’t wait to show you how easy it is

Pop-ups are a great way to encourage people to take action on your website and there are ways to ensure that they don't become annoying. 

Equalising certain elements on your page can be a real bugbear. We’re going to look at a few common mistakes and some small hacks to make this easier for you.

When someone mistypes a URL or you move a page without redirecting it, visitors to your site will land on an error page.

Divi makes it straightforward for us to build pages for mobile, but it doesn’t always get the stacking order right so you sometimes end up with images below text when it should be above, and vice versa

When you make a change to one element on your site, it may be that you then need to change it on other pages too. A change of phone number is a relevant example. Using global elements means you can change it once and it changes everywhere. 

Important and exporting layouts can save you hours of time. Divi’s portability options make this really straightforward for you to do. 

Discovering this feature when it was first released was such a revelation and I use it a lot. 

I’m conscious that a lot of people don’t realise it exists so I wanted to share it with you here as it speeds things up hugely when you’re building pages and when you change your mind about a colour or style that you want to use.

Gradients and patterns can make an impact on your page, and also make your images far more versatile and easier to use. Divi has some great features to implement on your pages which we're going to explore today. 

Changing and updating the date in your footer each year can become tiresome. Here's a footer with a date that automatically updates each year. 

By adding a button to the main navigation menu, you can make your site’s call to action stand out and drive more traffic to your most important pages. It’s also an easy way to make sure that your call to action is consistent across all pages.

Adding some subtle movement to the page gets rid of that blocky effect that we sometimes see on a page. It creates more visual interest and makes the content more dynamic and attention-grabbing.

Having elements that don’t balance on your page can be such a bugbear, and adding extra margin and padding creates chaos on your mobile view. 

This is such a big deal - magically make content appear and disappear from your page without you even being there. 

Testimonials are soooo important as social proof on your site, but it’s sometimes hard to make them look good.

Adding animation to an element grabs the attention of the user and directs them towards their next logical step.

Your images might start off with square edges, but they don’t need to stay that way. 

Lists are a real sticking point for me with Divi. We want to use them more, but the spacing is all wrong on them. 

This is a nifty little trick to add some interest to the links that you’re wanting people to click on. 

Buttons are so important in our layouts, and sometimes we want to sit them next to each other, both on desktop and mobile. 

If you’ve ever used a form on Divi, I’m sure you will have discovered how bland the success message is. Let’s fix that. 

Divi has an AI option, but in this tutorial, I’ll show you a little workaround where you can sprinkle some ChatGPT magic into your pages for a fraction of the price. 

Your link in bio page is the page that you send people to when they’re on a social platform such as Instagram, and you can only include one link

Testimonials are a critical element of social proof for you to include on your page. A really common question is how to style them so they look good. So I created some elements for you to pull directly into your website. 

This is just a tiny bonus video to make you aware of Divi's dynamic linking options if you're not using them yet, and to let you know that they could save you a lot of time (and hassle) in the longrun.

Here is the replay from a Q&A session that I ran live. Sometimes it's useful to hear other people's questions.
