Watch how I design a card using the looper in Divi 5. This method gives you more flexibility in design.

@funnelstoincome I prefer not to have to install a starter site on a brand new and empty site. I'd rather install the starter sites as a child theme with Divi Builder sections. I also don't think including plugins, etc., are useful in most situations. I think providing a full site from a backup is fine, but I'd prefer to see "starter sites" that could be implemented on existing sites, without having to restore "everything" from a backup file. That's my preference. Anyone else have any thoughts? PS: Didn't Krafter Pro have a simple starter site a while back that acted like a child theme or a series of Divi Builder Templates?? If so, do you have this still available that we can use? Please let us know. Thanks Gary

In this video, I explain exactly how KrafterPro works, what is included, and why you do not need to panic every time a new update is released.

If you are using Divi 5 and you are building websites for clients, KrafterPro gives you a complete design system and workflow toolkit so you are not starting from scratch every time.

You’ll learn:

• What KrafterPro actually includes
• The difference between the design system and the workflow toolkit
• How updates work
• Why your existing client websites will not break
• When to use merge vs replace
• How to back up and export your design system
• How starter sites, frames, style guides, handoff documents and theme builder templates fit into the workflow
• Why you can start building now instead of waiting for version 3.0

KrafterPro is designed to help freelancers and agencies build Divi 5 websites faster, keep projects organised, and hand off websites to clients more professionally.

If you have been confused about KrafterPro updates, starter sites, design systems, or whether you should wait before starting your next project, this video should clear things up.

Thank you for your good work (excuse my poor English, I'm only French...)
I made a Ecommerce website (www.lafermedupetitsud.fr) for my niece some weeks ago and I will adopt and readjust it with KrafterPro :
- what is the priority for making it well and maybe the different steps...?
Also I have a problem with the Checkout page :
- I can't have a background image in the section...
- I have different view in the backend and the frontend because of itms in the cart in frontend I've not in the backend, witch is difficult to adjust it, specially withe gap between the title and the rest.
Could you advice me to solve it?
And maybe advices with the site?
Best regards,
Ramón

Is there a starter site available for KrafterPro that doesn't require us to install it on a brand new and empty website? There used to be a starter site with Divi Builder Templates included, etc. Is this still being worked on and available to us? I can't find a way to access and download it as of now. Please let me know. Mak .

We are walking through the future. Please forgive me if I write in a narrative style, but for me, words are the true bricks that give soul to all things. They are like the blood and flesh for companies that rightfully demand nothing but the absolute best for their business. This accelerated journey pushes us in many directions, positioning us squarely within the frantic landscape of modern web design, where creating a professional website from scratch can take days of exhausting labor.

In aerospace physics, the Mach number (pronounced exactly like "mak") is the unit of measurement that calculates the speed of an object breaking through the sound barrier. In web design, the sheer brilliance of MAK’s operational workflow accomplishes the exact same feat: it breaks through the wall of complexity and wasted time, transforming friction into pure fluidity through his multipurpose Starter Sites, such as the Inizio model, or by gently taking a struggling Landing Page by the hand and making it shine beautifully.

The true power of MAK’s project lies not only in its aesthetic beauty but in the masterful engineering of the process. By utilizing the Crafter design system, every single element, from native blog management to pricing tables and a client dashboard that is finally clean and simplified, is ready to use, optimized, and natively responsive.

For an agency, a freelancer, or a freelance writer like myself who intends to build a rock-solid, responsive web communication platform, this means breaking right through the sound barrier of technical management.

It means being able to transform the visual soul of a website, from a dental practice to a transport company, and I hope one day, even for the vast and non-negligible category of writers, in just a few clicks. This is done simply by adjusting the variables panel and choosing alternative layouts. It is a supersonic time-saver that directly translates into absolute creative freedom and an undeniable edge in the market.

As we have seen in the most practical terms, MAK has stretched a magnificent, starry mantle over the chaos of Divi 5’s weekly updates. But innovation never stands still. Elegant Themes has just drawn a brand-new technological horizon by introducing native support for Variable Fonts, an official release that completely rewrites the rules of digital typography.

Variable fonts represent an absolute revolution for both design and performance. A single font file now allows creators to fluidly control weight, width, slant, and optical size, without adding a single ounce of weight to the website's loading speed.

To make the KrafterPro 3.0 system truly invincible and "Fast and Mirabilis", the next great strategic implementation could be the native integration of these variable typographic axes directly inside Crafter’s Variable Manager. Controlling the fluidity of text with the same natural ease with which we currently govern colors and automatic grids would elevate the system's typography to a level of perceptive resonance never seen before.

MAK is already projected into tomorrow, traveling at supersonic speed. The path is beautifully set, and I see a future for this community that is utterly splendid and illuminated.

Full energy forward!

I just published a new Divi 5 redesign video.

In this one, I take a real landing page from one of our community members and turn it into a cleaner, more modern design.

The original page had useful content, but the structure, visuals, and layout needed work.

So I rebuilt it using a Divi 5 starter site and a design system workflow.

You’ll see how I improved the hero section, added clearer call-to-action buttons, used better imagery, added service sections, created testimonials, updated the colours, and made the page feel much more professional.

The big lesson?

You don’t always need to build everything from scratch.

With the right starter site and design system, you can create better client websites much faster.

This version has been out for a very long time so I wanted to know if this is in fact the most recent version and when will we see the next version come out for us, which I believe is supposed to be v3. Is that correct? And can you tell us when this will be released for us to use? AND .. will it automatically update within WordPress (since KrafterPRO is a plugin), assuming that we have entered our username and password for the current version? Please let us know.

I've scheduled an email to out today with a link to download INITIA Starter Site.

Every time you start a Divi website from scratch, you are paying a hidden tax.

The blank-page tax.

You have to create the layout, spacing, colours, typography, buttons, sections, header, footer, blog templates, 404 page, search page, login page, and make sure everything works properly on mobile.

That takes time.

And if you are a freelancer or agency owner, time is money.

That is why I created the Initiate Starter Site.

It gives you a complete Divi website foundation with 29 pre-designed sections, a full design system, responsive layouts, Theme Builder templates, a custom login page, a custom dashboard, and production-ready modules.

You can install it on a blank WordPress site, change the brand colours, swap images, mix and match sections, and quickly turn it into a completely different website.

• A gym site.
• A law firm site.
• A consultant site.
• An agency site.

Or almost any client website you need to build.

Instead of starting from zero, you start from a system.

And that is how you build faster.

I have created a full walkthrough showing exactly how it works.
