Training site build suggestions

Hi guys, I hope everyone is doing well.

I'm just in the process of learning the Divi 5 mastery I & II, and thought I would reach out and see if anyone has a good suggestion for a 'training site' to build, which helps consolidate the depth of Divi 5?

I know we can try and copy any site, but I thought it may be good to ask to see if anyone has found a site that helped alongside the training.

Thanks in advance.

There are certainly different ways to teach and learn, so I can only speak from my own experience. It’s always a bit of a challenge when you’ve known previous versions of Divi and already have some experience, and then you sit down to watch one or several video trainings. It’s like a refresher, but in some areas, you might already be further ahead.

To test this, I often have my wife watch the videos and then try to replicate the steps in Divi 5. So far, it's been a success! She isn't an IT expert, a web designer, or a Divi 5 user. This way, I can see if a text, a video, or a guide is truly understandable for 'non-Divians' as well.

Mak has a specific design style that comes through in all his videos, as well as in the development and presets of KrafterPRO. That’s just his signature style. Other web designers or newbies might use a different approach or style. However, what remains consistent is the workflow of setting up Divi 5 for a cohesive way of working—even across different projects.

Many of the ideas and designs Mak presents are not difficult to implement. He completely avoids CSS code, which makes it perfect for all the 'No-Coders' out there. Precisely because you have to actively engage with WordPress and especially Divi 5 yourself, I believe the learning success is enormous. While KrafterPRO offers significant relief and saves a lot of time, there is still plenty of work left to do to achieve a finished, appealing, and responsive result.

For me, the way Mak presents everything in his videos is a perfect fit. But as I said at the beginning—this is just my personal opinion.

Frank Schlatter Thanks for the reply, Frank. I'm enjoying the new journey.
What I was after was any website suggestions to try and copy using the new version of Divi to help consolidate the skills whilst I learn. I feel it's a better way to remember all the finer points.
