Most Divi users don’t understand when to use Flexbox and when to use Grid.

The result?

Layouts that break on mobile, messy spacing, and sections that take far too long to build.

In this tutorial, I explain the professional layout workflow I use in Divi 5 and inside my KrafterPRO design system.

You’ll learn exactly when to use Flexbox and when CSS Grid is the better solution.

Once you understand this, building complex layouts in Divi becomes dramatically faster and far more consistent.

Watch what's upcoming on Divi University...

Hi folks, great to be here! I have previously built a few sites with Divi, but that was several years ago, so I'm totally new to Divi 5... and Divi University and KrafterPRO have been great resources so far.

I like the header menu example included with KrafterPRO, which is also featured on the diviuniversity.com website... where a search icon, when clicked, expands into a text field which hides the other menu items.

Is there a way, or any existing tutorials, for me to create this scenario outside of a menu module? For example, rather than use a menu module with the search toggle on, I would like a column with two individually styled buttons and then a search icon (all flowing left to right) - then, when the search icon is clicked I'd like to animate in a styled search field that obscures the two buttons on the left.

Can anyone help nudge me in the right direction with this?

Many thanks

Ross

This was a YouTube video. Creating the template went fine. When I viewed the template, my posts fell into it, but it does not show up as a page on my website. How do I make that happen?

Today, after updating WordPress to version 6.9.4, I can no longer edit pages with Divi 5 — it gets stuck in a loading loop... Any solution, or do we just have to wait for Elegant Themes to fix it?

Hi Mak! I’m really impressed with how you’ve built Divi University.
I’m currently working with a primary school that wants to create an educational platform where:
– Teachers can create courses and activities
– Students can access courses based on the group/class they belong to
– Teachers can grade students
I’d love to know which plugins you’re using to manage:
– The courses and lessons (LMS / course plugin)
– The community/groups and member area
We are planning to build something similar with Divi 5, ideally using plugins that are fully compatible with Divi.
Also, do you have (or plan to create) any course or training specifically about building an educational platform with Divi 5?
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can share!

Most Divi users spend hours adjusting margins and padding… But the layout still feels slightly off. Spacing looks inconsistent.

Sections feel cramped or too loose. Mobile layouts break. The reason is simple. Most designers are guessing spacing values.

In this tutorial I show you:

• Why the default Divi spacing scale is not production ready

• How professional designers control spacing

• Why guessing margins leads to inconsistent layouts

• How a fluid spacing scale fixes responsiveness

• How I apply spacing using the KrafterPRO design system

Once you start designing with a spacing system, everything changes.

Layouts become cleaner. Design becomes faster. And your websites finally start looking professional.

If you’re serious about designing professional websites with Divi 5, a design system is essential.

KrafterPRO was built specifically for that workflow.

It gives you a complete spacing, typography, color, and preset system for Divi 5.

I've installed Krafter Pro (latest version) and i download a Divi template. Let's say the Divi tempalte uses Garamond as font and i would like it to be Poppins. What are the steps to take so the Divi Template will be under the command of Krafter Pro with all the benefits?

In this video, I’ll show you how to design a professional card layout in Divi 5 using KrafterPRO.

Cards are one of the most commonly used UI elements in modern websites. They’re used for features, services, blog posts, pricing sections, and more. But most cards built in page builders look inconsistent because they’re designed without a proper system.

With Divi 5 and KrafterPRO, you can build cards that are clean, responsive, and consistent across your entire website.

In this tutorial, you’ll see how the KrafterPRO design system makes it easy to build professional layouts using:

• fluid typography

• responsive spacing tokens

• semantic color systems

• preset-driven modules

• a structured design workflow
