The video introduces a professional and scalable method for designing layouts in Divi. It contrasts the traditional approach of manually adding and editing individual blurbs with a more efficient workflow using dynamic data and custom post types.

The beginner method involves duplicating blurbs and manually customising each instance, which becomes tedious and time-consuming when scaling or updating styles. Even using presets requires manual effort to apply content.

The professional method uses Secure Custom Fields (previously Advanced Custom Fields) to create a custom post type, such as “Services.” Each service is added with a title, description, and featured image, and dynamic data links are used to display this information in Divi modules. This enables updates and new entries to reflect automatically without manual adjustments.

The tutorial demonstrates customising the dynamic content layout, including entering text, adjusting design settings, and refining presentation using grids and styles. The method also allows for removing unnecessary elements, like author and category information, while maintaining full flexibility for design tweaks.

This approach is efficient, reduces repetitive tasks, and supports better scalability for larger projects.
