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.

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.

X-STORE THEME (X-Store vs Divi)

X-Store Theme review


X-STORE THEME REVIEW

X-Store is one of the Woocommerce themes that stand out due to its high number of shop demos and numerous special shop features. The theme comes with the most popular page builder out there, Elementor and the Bakery page builder. This theme was specially developed for the construction of web shops and that is noticeable. I can tell you in advance that this is a fantastic theme because I have created a number of shops with it.

X-STORE: RATING

Below you can see the rating that X-Store Theme gets from people who bought the theme, and an average of 4.85 is a score that is rare with themes on the Themeforest Marketplace. This usually means that except for a few haters, everyone gave 5 stars.

X-STORE: INSTALLATION AND DEMOS

Installing X-Store Theme is very easy. The theme does not have a free version so you will have to buy it first and it can simply be installed via the standard Wordpress theme installer.

It is recommended to install one of the many ready-to-go designs. X-Store offers no less than 100+ webshop demos. These are beautiful complete designs for web shops in many niches such as furniture, tools, clothing, etc. In addition, there are 350+ complete sections that you can use in your designs.


X-Store Theme review webshop demos


X-Store Theme comes standard with the Bakery Pagebuilder and the Elementor page builder. Elementor is one of the best page builders out there and especially when we talk about the pro version, so it certainly stands out for my choice. But all 100+ shop demos have both an Elementor and Bakery version as seen above, the choice is yours.

X-STORE: SPEEDTEST

We perform a speed test on X-Store under quite optimal conditions, so with cache plug-in and all images optimized. This theme does not indicate that it is specialized on loading times, but the results are excellent as can be seen in the image below.

X-STORE REVIEW: CSS/JS GENERATOR

One of the top features that the theme offers to achieve great loading times is the option to only be able to pack the necessary CSS and Javascript together. Thus, your pages will not load any code that is not used on the page.

X-STORE: HEADER BUILDER

Advanced styling options and multiple HTML elements in the headers, anything is possible. X-Store also has a lot of standard header styles that can be installed with 1 click.



X-STORE: WOO PRODUCT PAGEBUILDER

Okay, let's start with the countless Woocommerce features that X-Store offers. With the Woocommerce Product Pagebuilder you can really customize everything on the product pages without having any technical knowledge. You will be amazed at the ease with which you can style your page yourself.

X-STORE: WOOCOMMERCE AJAX FEATURES

Ajax more or less means that you do not have to go to another page for certain actions, but that they run via a pop-up. Search, filter, wish list and shopping cart can all be opened in a pop up. You can set all this yourself, what is and what is not.

X-STORE: WOOCOMMERCE EMAIL BUILDER

I have been a web designer for 15 years and many customers want to be able to check the emails sent by their shop. There have been plugins for this for a number of years, but this is the first time that I see that a theme has integrated it. X-Store thinks of everything you could wish for in your shop, we have a top Woocommerce theme to do here.



X-STORE: WOO OFF-CANVAS FEATURES

A number of topics have already been discussed above at "Ajax features" so I will not list everything. Below in the image you can see that products can be viewed quickly, your account information or your shopping cart.

X-STORE REVIEW: PREMIUM PLUGINS

To be honest, I don't know of any other theme that has over $ 500 worth of 3rd party plugins in its arsenal. Of course there are certainly themes that have practically all functions of these plugins and more just as standard in their theme, such as with Divi Theme is the case.


X-Store Theme review premium plug-ins


X-STORE THEME REVIEW: PRICING

In my opinion, the price of $ 39 is very okay, but only if you are looking for a good webshop theme for only 1 project. In the case of 2 or more web shops, other themes are much more attractively priced and in some cases even better than X-Store. Check here the best webshop themes for [2023]. X-Store is so specialized in the webshop that if you are looking for a theme for a different type of project such as a blog or company website, I would certainly choose another theme.


X-STORE THEME REVIEW: CONCLUSION

There is nothing bad to say about this theme. This is one of the best themes there is to build web shops and it is rising in the rankings and it is better with every upgrade. It works perfectly with the Elementor page builder and that's great too. Yet it is true that, as I indicated in the chapter for the price above, that boss is boss.

The perfect theme for shops & websites is Divi and Astra is a very close second. These themes can be installed on multiple sites and the Divi Theme for example costs only $ 89, and comes with the Divibuilder full version! X-Store comes with Elementor, but that's the free version we're talking about, not the pro version.

X-Store vs Divi conclusion

You have come to the end of my Divi vs X-Store comparison. If you are going to build a webshop, X-Store is a really great theme which is very professional, and a lot is possible with it. The problem is that there is such a large and good team behind Divi and so much money is earned with it that in principle no theme can compete with it. Not even if it only concerns web shops, Divi wins there too. Quality aside, Divi is much more affordable in price if you want to use it on multiple sites. X-Store requires a separate license for each site, which of course quickly becomes very expensive.
