DIVI THEME (Divi vs Total)

Divi is the best-selling Wordpress theme ever...

Divi Theme review


This Divi-Theme review for [2023] shows you the latest improvements and the eye-catching features of Divi. We're not going to give boring bullet points and lists of options that can be found on the Elegant Themes website although I noticed that they also try to keep their site as exciting as possible, and of course that the Divi website is a true work of art...

DIVI ADVANCED GRADIENTS

Let's start with the 2 newest features that show Divi has the best stuff by far. Anyone who has worked with Photoshop, Corel or similar photo editing programs will know how to build gradients in all the colors of the rainbow. The same is now in Divi called Advanced Gradient Builder, the feature offers unlimited possibilities in terms of gradients. There is of course no theme that has this at the moment, although they will certainly copy it. They do that with everything Divi invents.

DIVI LAYOUT CLOUD

And we will immediately continue with the next feature that has no other theme. The feature is called Divi Layout Cloud. It allows you to instantly use sections, columns, complete pages, images, videos, audios, and anything else you put in the Cloud while you work on any websites you have. The time savings that this feature brings is unprecedented. An absolute must for every professional web designer and certainly design agencies.

Divi Theme Review Online Stores


Watch a video right here on how Divi's Woocommerce-Builder proceeds. A decent theme has fantastic options to create a webshop with it and that is more than the case with Divi. The theme gives an incredible amount of options to customize product and category pages by means of the WooBuilder and the WooModules. View here all 229 different Divi-demos (1685 templates). Insane numbers!

The Divi demo library contains many beautiful shop layouts that you can install in your project with 1 click. Complete styling of your shop is really a piece of cake with the WooBuilder. Everything can be adjusted very quickly at the front-end. All available demos were of course made with the Divibuilder discussed below, along with Elementor Pro considered to be the best page builders out there.


DIVIBUILDER (Pagebuilder)

DiviBuilder


The DiviBuilder is the perfect page builder for Wordpress and an absolute pleasure to work with. The page builder works very precisely, which means on the website itself it looks just like where you are working. Everything you want to use such as elements and effects are easy to find and you can build pages very quickly with it.

If you purchase Divi, the DiviBuilder is also included as a separate plug-in in your package and can be used in other themes. Test the DiviBuilder right now on the Divi website click the purple "Try it for free" button at the top.


DIVI THEME SPEED

Divi Theme Speed


In the meantime, no theme wants to lag behind in terms of loading times or speed, as Google attaches more and more value to it. Divi recently received a speed upgrade and has become one of the fastest loading themes available for Wordpress. Unbelievable that 1 theme can beat all other themes on all fronts... Watch here a video and more information about Divi's Speed Upgrade.


DIVI EFFECTS

Divi Theme Review Effects


With Divi Effect, images can be tuned at lightning speed. Change the exposure, colors, invert the image, apply sepia colors or make the image transparent (percents can be set). Changing images in Divi and not in a PC program ensures that your image remains undamaged and can be further modified quickly at any time. We give 10 points for this tool in this Divi Theme review.


DIVI TRANSFORMS

Divi Theme Review Transforms


Watch here a video and more information about Divi's Transforms here. With Divi Transforms practically everything is possible on texts and images, rotate, mirror, skew object just like in Photoshop's "CTRL+T". A fantastic tool that has no other theme as far as I know.


DIVI SHAPE DIVIDERS

Divi Theme Review Shape Dividers


This feature really makes your website shine, the competition will be jealous of your site. It used to be quite a challenge even for professional web designers to get such shapes into blocks. This is no longer the case with the DiviBuilder, because anyone without technical knowledge can now do this with the greatest of ease, including you! Watch here a video and more information about Divi's Shape Dividers.


DIVI BULK EDIT

Divi Theme Review Bulk Edit


Colleagues who have been building websites for years also remember how we used to repeat actions endlessly. If you had 6 blocks that you wanted to change the style of, you had to work 6 times. That is no longer necessary with Divi's Bulk Edit, you can make the adjustments for all 6 blocks at the same time. This feature saves you an incredible amount of time. Watch here a video and more information about Divi's Bulk Editing.


DIVI DROP SHADOWS

Divi Theme Review Drop Shadows


You no longer need Photoshop to create shadows for images. Photoshop is not only a very expensive program but also takes much longer than Divi's Drop Shadows. Another advantage is that the original image remains intact and additional styles can be added later or the shadow can be adjusted if necessary. Watch herea video and more information about Divi's Drop Shadows.


DIVI SPLIT TESTING

Divi Theme review split testing


Every business wants as many leads and conversions as possible, so they regularly try to improve pages to get more out of them. However, Divi Leads makes it a lot easier for you. You can create as many different versions of a layout or text as you want. These are then presented alternately to your visitors. Divi keeps track of the statistics for you which versions score better. Watch here a video and more information about Divi's Split Testing.


Divi and the Divibuilder have so many gadgets and options that I could make the page of this Divi Theme Review 3x as long, but the best is to have a look here at the Divi Website and see the rest there.

DIVI THEME REVIEW: PRICING

At Divi you do not buy a theme, but a membership. This membership gives you access to 86 premium themes including Divi and a number of top plugins and a library of images. In terms of price, this certainly makes Divi more interesting than other themes, since it is only slightly more expensive per year than an average other theme. These "other themes" usually only provide support for half a year, which in my opinion is very little. After that, you usually pay a lot to get extra support.

If you can spend $249 one-time, you have the complete package for life with lifetime support. Especially for companies with a few websites, this is by far the most interesting solution as you will never need anything else to build perfect websites. Using this link you'll get at least 10% discount.


DIVI THEME REVIEW: SUMMARY

I'm going to keep it short and sweet here in the conclusion of this Divi theme review for [2023]. With Divi you get value for money, it is a well-oiled machine for building websites from the ground. Divi has no weaknesses or shortcomings. Regardless of whether you are creating a webshop, a corporate website or a private site, you will always be delighted that you have purchased Divi. Join the 806,875+ members they already have, you won't regret it.


Divi offers a one-month money-back guarantee, so if you don't like it, you can always ask for your money back. Other themes do not give you this, but Divi knows that you will be satisfied.

TOTAL THEME (Divi vs Total)

Total Theme review


The Total Theme has been around since 2013 and has had little fame until now. After some radical improvements, the theme is now on its way to a good position in the rankings for best selling themes on Themeforest.net and automatically enjoys more fame.

Total Theme review: Rating

An average rating of 4.86 out of 5 is very good in this marketplace and in general too. It is therefore not surprising that more than 50,000+ units have been sold in the meantime. The best rating I know is 4.93 which is Divi scores and that is not on a marketplace but on Trustpilot a reliable independent rating.

Total Theme: 40+ Demo Websites

In this Total Theme review, let me start by paying attention to their demo websites. In the introduction image at the very top you can see how they advertise themselves having 40+ demo websites. Not a very high number in itself, but the fact that they indicate it shows that they are proud of it. These demos are extremely well taken care of and there are real demos for all kinds of niches of a very high quality. I show a few of them below, but feel free to view them all on their own sites.


Total Theme Demo sites


Total Theme: Section Templates

In addition to the demo websites just discussed, there is an even larger number of section templates at your disposal. Ready-made sections that you like can be dragged into your page. The number of combinations is unlimited. In this way you save a lot of time by not having to build everything yourself.


Total Theme Section Templates


Total Theme: PageBuilder

The theme focuses on the use of the WP-Bakery pagebuilder. This page builder has been around for so long but can still compete with the best pagebuilders. Not that I prefer it but I've worked with it a lot and in a pleasant way. Here you have the full version available, a tuned version with extra elements in it. A fine tool.


Total Theme Page Builder


Total Theme Review: Elements

Elements are the building blocks you place in the sections and columns and make up the actual design. At the same time, many widgets are also functional. You can see the main ones in the image below.


Total Theme Elements


Total Theme: Colors

The Total themes has standard color combinations that you can choose from. In addition, you can also organize the colors yourself and you have a gradient builder as shown below. Speaking of gradient builders, view here Divi's brand new gradient builder that can do much the same as the one in Photoshop.


Total Theme: Colors


Total Theme Review: Woocommerce

The Total Theme is 100% compatible with Woocommerce, but at first glance I don't see any fantastic extras for it like real Woocommerce themes have. If you are building a blog or a corporate site, a simple shop next to it may also suffice. I would not use the theme for a real webshop.


Total Theme Review Woocommerce Webshops


Total Theme review: Conclusion

Listen, this is a fantastic theme but you have to pay for it, and then you are better off with other themes on the same marketplace. They offer more value for money. If Total would lower the price a bit, it would become more attractive. If you are really looking for an elite Wordpress theme, read my best Wordpress themes for [2023].

Total vs Divi Conclusion

You have come to the end of my Divi vs Total comparison. These are both great themes. The problem for Total is that Divi is not only great but a super theme that is also offered very cheaply. Divi excels in all the different aspects that there are for themes. Not only compared to Total but with all the other themes out there.
