Divi Chat
The Divi Chat Podcast had an amazing run! This will be the 294th episode since the show began back in October of 2016 when a few friends decided to go public with their conversations about this incredible new tool: Divi.
This podcast has meant a lot to a lot of folks – the panelists included. Can’t wait to Chat with you all one last time.

We are taking our own advice! If you caught the previous episode, you know we all believe in the importance of taking a break.
The many panel members who have been a part of Divi Chat have been sharing advice, tips, and lessons learned for almost 7 years. (‼️) All of the panelists participate voluntarily and are all running their own business (or multiple businesses!) in addition to hanging out with you virtually for an hour or so each week.
The current panelists (Sarah, Tim, Steph, Mike, and Eric) have collectively agreed that we could benefit from a little break. We aren't leaving for good, just taking a hiatus to recharge our batteries and re-energize ourselves to be able to best serve the WordPress community we all love so much.
In fact, we have some exciting things planned for our return, so stay tuned!
Sand and Saltwater may do wonders for you, but they are mortal enemies of your laptop! That’s not the only reason to leave the laptop at home, though.
Dive into the pool of work-life balance with this episode of Divi Chat, titled “How To Take a Vacation When You Own a Business.” Come hear the strategies, tips, and resources the Divi Chat panel has learned after years of entrepreneurship.
Believe it or not, you CAN actually take a vacation without sneaking away to check emails or take client calls.

Taking on a website you didn't build is like gazing at the beautiful tip of an iceberg above the surface. At first glance, it appears captivating and pristine, but beneath the waterline lies a complex web of hidden challenges and unexpected surprises.
Just like the tip of an iceberg, the visible aspects of a website may seem appealing and functional, but you never know what lies beneath. It could be a messy code structure, outdated plugins, or a tangled web of dependencies waiting to be unraveled.
Navigating the depths of someone else's WordPress creation requires a blend of curiosity, expertise, and a touch of daring. You'll need to dive deep, explore the unseen intricacies, and bring order to the chaos. It's a journey that demands both technical prowess and a sprinkle of magic.

With a resume that includes managing email marketing campaigns for multiple companies with email lists of over a million recipients, this guy knows his stuff!!

The post Ep 261 – You Gotta Know THIS to Succeed in Web Design appeared first on Divi Chat.
Can you believe this week starts December already? 2023 is just around the corner. How are you feeling about 2022? Did you hit your goals?
To have a portfolio or not to have a portfolio on your agency website is an age old debate. Even if you are on the fence about that, consider putting together a few (or even just ONE) solid case study of a project that was a success.
We are trying something a little different this week. Today's topic is up to YOU! Listen in as your burning questions about Divi or running your Divi business are answered LIVE by our panelists.
Hindsight is 20/20, as they say - so why not borrow the glasses of someone farther down the road? We have always approached Divi Chat as "the podcast I wish I had when started out." After 6 years of podcasting and even more years with Divi, our panel has learned a lesson or two!
On this anniversary episode, we'll share our experiences and thoughts on Divi Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. - What made this theme so awesome when it was just a baby builder? - How do our businesses benefit from Divi currently? - What is on the horizon for Divi and Elegant Themes?
We just kicked off spooky szn and turkey day sounds far away, but NOW is the time to start prepping for your Black Friday promotion. Join the DC panel as they discuss their offerings and strategies for the biggest shopping day of the year.
Is it possible to "sell without selling"? Do you find yourself giving away your strategy for free on "pick your brain" calls? Do you get traffic to your website, but no clients come from it? Get some tips from the DC panel on how they turn their prospects into paying customers on today's episode.
Do you feel organized in your business? Chaos is the enemy of productivity. What apps, tools, and/or techniques do you use to keep the chaos at bay?
Join the Divi Chat panel as they share their tips for keeping all the plates spinning...and being able to have a life outside of our web world, too!
We had so many books to chat about last week that we ran out of time to talk podcasts! Podcasts are a great way to stay up-to-date on the latest industry news, learn new tips and tricks, and be entertained.
Being in tech means keeping up to date with trends and industry standards. Running a business is a constant learning experience. So that means running a business in tech requires a LOT of continuing education!
There are many ways to continue learning. One of the most affordable and accessible is by reading books and blogs and listening to (or watching!) podcasts.
On this episode of Divi Chat the panel will share our go-to Books, Blogs, and Podcasts. What are your faves??

Do you ever feel like your business is all over the place, your brain is a pinball machine, and you just can't seem to get organized? If so, this episode of Divi Chat is for you! We'll be sharing Tools, Time Management methods, and other tips to help you get your business in order so you can focus on what's important.
Not all heroes wear capes... especially not the big chunky sections at the top of your website's home page.
What is the purpose of these sections? How can you best utilize this precious real estate? And where did this trend come from anyway?
Come hang out with the Divi Chat crew as they unmask the secrets of website hero sections.
We talk a LOT about Divi and the amazing things you can do with it. This week on Divi Chat, we are going to put our money where our mouths are and show you some of the incredible websites that have been built with this amazing tool.
Our lives revolve around software licenses. How do you handle this in your business? You need access to your clients' accounts, but you don't want to always foot the bill. Should you handle renewals (with a little markup for your trouble, of course!) or give them access to the accounts? What if you sell plugins or themes? How do you control the licensing?
Join the panel as we chat about all of these different aspects of licensing.

What would you do for a living if WordPress didn't exist? Who would your colleagues be? Would your business exist if WordPress didn't?
Have you ever asked yourself questions like these? It's amazing to be part of an open source community, but it can be easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what that actually means.
For most of us, WordPress is at the center of our business model and the foundation of our marketable skill set....and it doesn't cost us a penny!
Have you ever considered contributing to WordPress in some way? On this week's episode of Divi Chat, we will discuss the 3 primary ways you can give back, and share some resources for doing so.
If you know of an organization or an individual that takes an active role in contributing to WordPress, please comment below and let us know! We'd love to shine a light on those who are giving back and encourage others to follow their lead.

How do you ensure that the websites you build for your clients are successful?
Granted, the word "successful" can have many different definitions, but no matter how you define it, there's no reason to re-invent the wheel each time you take on a new project.
Just like Grandma's famous apple pie recipe, when you find what makes your clients happy - don't stray from the recipe!

If there's anything the past 2 years have taught us, it's that things don't always go according to plan. In addition to a global pandemic, here are just a few of the issues our colleagues have had to deal with recently (in no particular order):
- Contracting Covid
- Illness of a family member requiring your care
- Working from home instead of an office
- Moving house under lockdown restrictions
- Accident resulting in broken bone or other disabling injury
- New baby
- House fire
- Difficulty finding a new home
- Sick pet
- Loss of childcare
- Death of a loved one
- Increased costs of necessities such as medication or fuel
- Illness requiring surgery
- Actual war breaking out in your country
- Kids home all day to homeschool
- Loss of primary or supplementary income
Just reading that list might stress you out, or it might make you think "HOLY CRAP I'M A WARRIOR!" One thing is for sure - we can't predict the future and we can't prevent the universe from throwing us a curve ball. So....how can you keep your business afloat (and your sanity in check) when a crisis occurs?
Join the Divi Chat panel as they discuss their coping mechanisms and survival tips. As always, we'd love to hear what has worked for you! Leave a comment or join us in the live chat on FB or YouTube.

There are many reasons you might want to re-design a Divi site: maybe the client's branding has changed, maybe the existing style isn't speaking effectively to their customers, maybe it just looks dated.
If the site content will largely stay the same and the site just needs a visual update, should you rebuild the site from scratch, or just modify what is already there?
Join the panel this week as they chat about their best practices and the lessons they have learned (sometimes the hard way!).

It's happened before and it will happen again...conflicts or bugs in plugin or theme updates can cause your site to "break." Yes, even with Divi! (In fact this just happened to us today!) oof.
How can you troubleshoot and fix a busted site to get it back up as quickly as possible?
Join the panel on Divi Chat today as we share our top tips for a speedy recovery. (HINT: some of these are proactive, so don't delay!).

How do you feel about your website? When a potential client asks to see your site, do you get a tightness in your chest?
We all know "the cobbler's kids run barefoot" so is it actually possible for a web designer to have a website they love?
On this week's episode of Divi Chat, we are going to tackle the common obstacle of our own agency websites. How can you tame this beast and end up with something that you are proud of....without losing your sanity in the process?

As we approach the end of another calendar year and almost 2 full years in the grip of a global pandemic, it's natural to get a bit reflective. There have certainly been many struggles and hardships, but we have also seen a lot of growth and successes in the Divi community.
What will 2022 bring??
Hindsight is 20/20, so let's use that to our advantage! Looking back on both victories and "humbling moments" can help us to prepare for the year ahead and guide our trajectory.

State of the Word is the annual keynote address delivered by Matt Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress.
Instead of a typical Divi Chat episode, the panel will be hosting a watch party to virtually attend State of the Word together with all of you!
From the wordpress.org blog:
"Join Matt as he provides a retrospective of 2021, discusses the latest trends he’s seeing, celebrates the community’s amazing wins, and explores the future. Expect to hear about a range of topics, from WordPress 5.9 and Openverse to Web3 and non-fungible tokens (NFTs)."
This should be an enlightening hour! See you there!

We are so excited to welcome the Godfather of Divi, Geno Quiroz, to Divi Chat! Geno and the panel will chat about the journey of running a Divi business. What happens when things don't turn out as you planned? Have you ever felt 100% sure of your role...and then somehow started to totally doubt that?
Entrepreneurship can be a roller coaster of emotions. Let's all put our hands in the air and enjoy the ride, even if it sometimes makes us want to scream.

If DNS is the scary monster you'd rather stayed hidden under your bed, this is the episode for you. We are going to turn on the lights and show you that the big, hairy, ugly monster isn't really so scary after all. He's just misunderstood! In the end, you might even start to think he's kinda cuddly and cute.
We've been poking the DNS monster with a stick for a few weeks now, as we discussed "Configuring Email for Deliverability" and "Migrating WordPress Websites" on recent episodes, so now it's time to face our fears.

Revisions are a part of the creative process, but if left uncontrolled they can add hours and hours of unpaid labor to any project.
And what about approvals? Are you just getting a verbal approval over the phone? What if more changes come later? How can you document a client's acceptance to protect yourself and your work?
Tune in to Divi Chat this week as the panel discusses all things revisions and approval.

Do you ever get mid-project and feel like you are doing more cat herding than website building? Setting (and enforcing!) boundaries can mean the difference between loving what you do...and considering throwing in the towel and seeing if the local pizza joint is looking for a new delivery driver. Our pal Emma Kate Patterson is going to join the panel for this episode to share her methods for effective cat wrangling --er, boundary setting.

Chasing Likes and Follows can often be an exercise in vanity, and ultimately, futility. Have you ever wanted to build an online network you could actually leverage to grow your business?
We'll be chatting with Kyle Van Deusen, founder of the popular Facebook Group, The Admin Bar, which has grown into a network of thousands of loyal followers who are willing to contribute and even (gasp!) open their wallets.
In honor of our Texan friend, this episode will be BYOT (Bring Your Own Tacos) so fire up those taco emojis and come share in the live chat! We'd love to hear your experiences growing your social network and answer any questions you may have.

Images are no doubt a very big part of websites. Whether the image is for content purposes to illustrate the meaning of the page, or for decorative/design purposes to make it look better— images are essential. But images can also slow down your website more than anything else. However that doesn't mean you remove all the images from your website. With proper optimization, you can have lots of great images AND have a fast loading Divi website too!
In this episode of Divi Chat, we discuss image optimization and why it's one of the most crucial steps to speed up Divi. Plus, we discuss our preferred image optimization tools too!
Join the DC panel this week as we share our tried & true tips for image optimization.

Divi can be slower than other themes if you don't properly optimize them. However with proper optimization, you can get BLAZING FAST load times! While there are LOTS of things you can do to make Divi load faster, caching and image optimization are two of the most impactful!
Additionally, using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) is also an extremely powerful way to improve how fast images load on your site.
In this episode, we'll demystify the multiple layers of caching you can utilize, explain the benefits of a CDN, and maybe even share our favorite image optimization tips. It's gonna be an hour jam packed with actionable info. Don't miss it!

We have spent 200 HOURS chatting about Divi. What's all the fuss about? Well... businesses have been built, careers have been launched, thousands of development hours have been saved, millions of customers have been served, and a LOT of money has been made. All thanks to the Divi theme.
How has Divi changed the lives of our panel... and what will the future bring?

This episode of Divi Chat will be all about Core Web Vitals. Core Web Vitals go beyond just having a fast website, and instead focuses on user experience (although website speed is part of it). Steph, Sarah, Tim and Mike will be discussing Google's May update and will be asking "Core Web Vitals - Meh or Yeh?" - We will be asking what everyone is doing for their own websites, for their client sites and which clients are already questioning their web devs about the effect this could have?
Listen in and hear us talk about LCP, FID and CLS!

Do you have a "Hit By A Bus" plan?
No one wants to think about the worst case scenario, but....what if an emergency took you away from your business for weeks or months without warning? What would happen to your clients or your business?
Even if it's difficult to face, we can all agree it will be better -- for us and our clients -- if we are prepared.

We are continuing our "Back to Basics" series of topics this week by tackling a topic that is crucial to the solid foundation of your business, yet is very often overlooked: Ideal Customer Personas. (I.C.P.)
Developing personas or "avatars" for your ideal customer can be more fun than you think, and we bet you'll be surprised by what you learn.
This week on Divi Chat, we will discuss the importance of this exercise, and explain how to do it for yourself and your clients. Don't miss out!

What's up Divi Nation! We have had a lot of new followers hop on the Divi Chat train over the past several months, so we thought it was about time we revisit the foundation of what we're all about.
Today on Divi Chat we are kicking off our "Back To Basics" series. For this first episode in the series, we'll be talking about one of the most crucial (and hotly debated!) foundational elements to any Divi site - HOSTING.
Tune in to our Youtube to watch the replay and chime in about your favorite host, or ask questions.

Do you have a set of plugins you use on every Divi site you build? 🔌
Ok...maybe not EVERY site, but having a core set of trusted plugins, or even sets for your standard builds (e-commerce, blog, specific niche, etc) can speed up your project kickoff and streamline the development by using pre-established settings.

The Divi Theme Builder was one of the most highly anticipated features of Divi! The theme builder allows you to create custom page templates, custom Divi Headers, custom footers, custom 404 pages, and so much more! Previously, Divi only allowed you to create static pages. But now you can create dynamic page template with ease. This changes EVERYTHING! Divi is not just a page builder anymore. Divi is now a full blown THEME builder, with the ability to customize every single area of your website.
In this episode of Divi Chat, we're going to discuss the Divi Theme Builder and talk about how to get the most out of it. The Theme Builder is one of those tools that is incredibly powerful, and the more you use it, the more you realize you're just scratching the surface on what's possible. Hosts Present:

💙Non-Tech Support💙
We are all living in unprecedented times, Divi Family. Life in a global pandemic may leave us feeling fearful, stressed, lonely, or hopeless...but let's band together and focus on strategies, support, and solutions as best we can.
Over the next several episodes, we are adjusting our scheduled topics to address what is currently on everyone's mind. Please leave a comment and share your top concerns.
Some upcoming topics will include: • Dealing with client cancellations • Working from home...with the whole family 😱 • How to sell without capitalizing on calamity • Should you discount your services now? • Emotional and physical well-being in quarantine
Most of us do at least some Tech Support as part of our customer service, but "support" is taking on a much different meaning now. How can we support our colleagues, family members, friends, and clients? And where do we turn for support ourselves?

"If you build it, they will come" right? Unfortunately that's not the way it works when it comes to having an eCommerce store. There's so much that goes into having an eCommerce store that makes sales, and it can be incredibly tricky. When it comes to eCommerce in Divi, the default built in eCommerce options are limited. You can use a Divi eCommerce Child Theme to help streamline the process if you don't want to code the eCommerce customizations yourself. Using a child theme with already built eCommerce pages that are optimized conversion can dramatically help you increase sales. But even with a well designed child theme, you can still boost sales further by having a formal sales funnel with upsells and order bumps.
Today Adam Preiser joins the DC crew to discuss how to boost e-commerce sales.. WOOHOO!! Adam is a master of his (wp)craft — haha! — so we're very excited to have him on to share his expertise and how his freemium plugin CartFlows can help you get your sales numbers up. He'll also be giving away 3 PRO LICENSES during our live chat!! (OMG, this is why you should be joining us live!!)
We'll talk about how guiding your potential customer through their checkout journey (aka sales funnel) really matters and can lead to final purchases. We'll also chat about upsells, order bumps, cart abandonment, all that juicy checkout goodness!

So many WordPress Page Builders, so little time...and so many strong opinions about them all! How do you go about choosing the right one for your business or your projects?
We obviously love Divi around here, but just because it's the most popular WordPress theme in the world (!!) doesn't make it right for every situation (or does it??).
On today's episode we are going to have some very special guests discussing their experience with several page builders — primarily Divi (as an all-in-one framework), Elementor, and Beaver Builder — but we will touch on WP Bakery Page Builder (formerly Visual Composer) a bit and break down how to choose the best one(s) for your needs.

Everyone's favorite topic!! Hosting, hosting, hosting!! This is a biggie, right? Your website is like your house and your hosting is like it's foundation. It can't be crappy.
On top of that Divi is really more than just a page builder, it's quite a robust framework so cheapy hosting probably can't handle it. Add to that the fact that hosting environments are constantly changing and require us to remain knowledgeable, there's quite a bit to consider when it comes to hosting.
We have episode 68 from last year but we thought it was about time to revisit this topic since it comes up a lot in WordPress and Divi Facebook groups. Let's discuss!

Is it too late to start a Divi + WordPress business?
Some people just finding Divi or WordPress may really enjoy building websites and may wonder if it’s too late to try to make a business out of Divi and WordPress because there are so many people doing it. They may feel they missed the window or are too late. We personally do not feel that is the case so we thought we’d explore the topic this week.

It’s been a while since we had a dedicated SEO topic (ep23) and we had a request from a listener so we figured it’s about time for a revisit.
We’ll try to hit as many points as we can but, as you may know, SEO is a beast in itself and usually requires dedicated training to truly be considered an "expert" ... hint: we're not lol, but we're happy to share what we've learned on our entrepreneurial journeys :)

On this week's DC we're discussing white label services and when/why you may want to incorporate them into your business.
What exactly does this mean? An example would be if you decided you would like to offer social media marketing as part of your packages because you see that there's an interest, maybe several clients have asked about it. Social media marketing isn't your strength, though, so bringing in an expert in a white label capacity would allow you to expand the services you're able to offer, and all still under the umbrella of your company name.
We all have varying levels of experience either doing this or being the white label service so let's discuss!

Going niche just means getting more granular in your target market. Maybe you decide to stick to a specific industry, like photography clients or restaurants and hotels. Maybe you target only Divi users and really go all in with the ‘Divi Expert’ or ‘Divi Designer’ marketing like some of us have (with great results we might add!). This week we discuss our experiences and advice!

If you offer maintenance plans you're already productizing your services so why not expand that model? Maybe you enjoy styling forms or getting creative with Woo store pages, or are a natural with Mailchimp. Why not package that service up with a nice little bow and make it a “cartable” product?
There are pros and cons to this, and some services may be better suited to productizing than others, so let’s discuss!

Are you thinking it’s time to grow your team but are unsure how to do it? Or where to hire? Today we’re discussing when and how to scale your team based on our own experiences.
We’ve actually discussed this every year now (see episodes 22 and 79) and it’s worth a revisit since a lot can happen in a year in tech, and in WordPress and Divi.

Some clients are very tech savvy, some are not. Some know that a logo doesn’t come with a website build, others think they get social media marketing, a logo, a website, and built-in customers from the get-go.
Bottom line is it’s up to us to inform them of all the details, the scope, the process — everything involved, and when we don’t communicate that well enough it can cause issues. Today we’ll discuss what we’ve learned and any tips we can share to keep it smooth sailing when communicating with clients.

How to get remote and/or local clients, this is something we discussed early on in our DC days on one of our first episodes. Back then we had silly graphics to play with in Google hangouts lol, you can view it here.

This week we'll be discussing the dreaded scope creep and ways to avoid it.
What’s scope creep you ask?
It’s when a client starts to ask for additional work that is “out of scope”, work that was not part of the agreed upon job in the beginning. Sometimes it can come in the form of seemingly simple change requests, and small requests can start to snowball into entirely new features.
It’s very easy to jump to the conclusion that your client is trying to take advantage of you but that’s not always the case (although sometimes it is lol). Oftentimes it’s just their lack of knowledge of web design in general and what it takes to accomplish certain things, so we have to be educators in some capacity as well when it comes to avoiding scope creep.
We’ll share some proven tips and to-do’s to keep scope creep from happening on your projects (hint: contract, contract, contract).

We're back for our first episode of 2019!! Woohoo!!
We decided our first topic should be about the latest updates, both with WordPress and Divi. WordPress 5.0 was released just before the end of 2018 and Divi was updated as well with a slew of new features, and the new WP editor - dubbed Gutenberg - has been the talk of the community for some time.
Nothing too technical in this chat, just a general overview of any hiccups we've come across plus any tips we can share on working in your Divi site after updating to the latest WordPress version.

Divi comes with access to literally hundreds of gorgeous layouts designed by Kenny Sing and his team! The layouts look great of course, but what happens when you start to customize them? If you've been using the layouts you know that sometimes the layout you love most simply doesn't work with your content (or your client's content). In this case it can be helpful to know some tips ahead of time before you pull your hair out! Additionally, there are other beautiful 3rd party Divi Layouts that can have similar challenges. On this episode of Divi Chat, we're sharing some tips to help you narrow down your search, and things to think of even before going to select a design.

Last week we discussed our best and worst web design jobs — okay we mostly just talked about the bad lol! We mentioned things that clients do that make our job more difficult and frustrating, but we realized we weren’t being entirely fair.
How are clients supposed to know how to act or what to ask? Or even what to expect if they’ve never worked with a web designer before? It can be a scary process, especially when you have a budget you need to stick to and you have no idea who to trust.
So this week as a follow-up topic we’ll be sharing some tips for clients!

How a Web Design Goes Straight to Hell
Some things you may want to ask about when looking to hire a web designer/developer:
is there a contract? if not, why not? how much is the deposit? will I be trained to edit my site if I need to? what exactly am I getting for the cost? (it should be clearly outlined what all is included for your $$) will I need maintenance, and if so will you do it? how much is maintenance? if it's not going as I hoped and I want to terminate the project early what are my options, and will I get any money back? (sometimes referred to as a "kill clause") where is my site being hosted and do I have access? where is my domain registered and do I have access? (in case you haven't purchased one already) do I have to write the content? do I have to provide/buy photos? do I have to buy special software/plugins or are those included? are any plugins subscription-based? (recurring charges) is it a custom site? (custom is often referred to as "bespoke")
*We interchange the terms designer and developer quite a bit. Technically there is a difference but for the purpose of this episode we generally mean a person/company that builds websites.

The Divi Builder continues to become better and better with more and more design tools that make the need for custom CSS less and less. However, there are still times when custom CSS is necessary for your Divi website. What makes things confusing is there isn't just one place to put custom CSS. There's several different places to put CSS and they all have their pros and cons.
From the custom CSS file in your Divi Child Theme, to Divi Theme Options custom CSS box, to the Divi Builder page CSS box, there's a lot of places to put custom CSS!
To make things even more confusing, you can even place custom CSS in the advanced tab of Divi Modules, although you must add the CSS styles to the existing CSS classes.
In this episode of Divi Chat, the gang talks about all these different places in Divi to put your custom CSS, and they reveal which option they like and why!

Page builders are awesome for building websites, but what if you're a blogger and want to use a page builder for your blog posts? There are several reasons why you might want to use a page builder for your blog, one of the main ones being the layout and styling functionality you can add to your single post layouts.

This week’s topic: dealing with “imposter syndrome.” This topic was submitted by one of our viewers, and we’re happy to get back to a more personal subject that some people might find hard to talk about.
Imposter syndrome is when you feel inadequate, not smart or capable enough, and undeserving despite evident success. This is a very commonly discussed topic in the tech world, but extends out to all professions and even students and more.

If you develop, design, or maintain a website then you've probably heard of the GDPR privacy requirements that affect websites globally as of May 25, 2018. In this episode of Divi Chat, we're discussing GDPR compliance, what it means for us and our businesses, and hopefully help you get a better understanding of what it is and how to implement GDPR best practices into your Divi website.
In this episode we also discuss a few things that are confusing when it comes to GDPR. For example, it doesn't matter if you are in Europe or not. If you have visitors from Europe, then you must make sure your website is compatible.
Additionally, there's a lot of confusion around eCommerce vs simple static websites and whether or not these rules apply if you're not selling products. We also discuss this during the episode. The compliance isn't just for websites that sell products though. Even if you have a simple contact form on your website (as most websites do), then you are responsible for adhering to the policies of GDPR.
However, eCommerce websites are even more at risk than simple websites with a contact form. For example, Tim sells Divi plugins and Divi Modules and therefore collects customer's information at checkout. Because of this, additional steps must be taken by Tim in order to stay compliant. Through the research of setting this up for Divi Life, Tim created a handy tutorial for Divi users on how to make your Divi website compliant with GDPR. We definitely recommend taking a look at this after watching the episode :)
** Note that we are not lawyers and are not giving legal advice, we're all in the same boat navigating these new waters together and are learning about this ourselves ;) Hosts Present:

So many hosting questions come up along the web development journey. Should you host client’s sites for them? Should you use reseller hosting? What company should you host with? Are some really better than others and are all the good ones expensive? All pretty common questions we have to face at some point, so today we're talking about our hosting ups and downs and who we use and why.
We’ve covered hosting in the past but this is the interwebs, and things are constantly changing and evolving ;)

Something that isn't discussed much in our industry (but probably should be) is feeling "burnt out". No matter what type of work we do it's very easy to forget to take care of ourselves and our mental health. It's important to recognize when we need to take a step back, assess, and take action when it comes to dealing with burnout. What does it mean to feel "burnt out"? How do you know the symptoms and what can you do about it? This week we discuss some symptoms we noticed in ourselves and how each of us dealt with it, and things we do now to keep burnout at bay.

User experience, commonly referred to as UX, is a broad and important subject. How the user is led through the site, how easy the site is to navigate, how quickly the user can find the information they are looking for -- these are all just a few things that go into tailoring the user experience on a website.
On today's chat we go over some ways we keep the user experience in mind when designing, and also share what we've learned along our professional journeys that have helped with how we approach UX design on our projects. Hosts Present:

We're pretty excited about today's topic on building a business developing Divi plugins. Some of our hosts have done just that and would love to share their experiences in this growing market. As an added bonus Terry Hale of Superfly and creator of Image Intense has kindly offered to share some of his resources and tips on how he got started.
While Divi Plugins are essentially WordPress plugins that extend the functionality of Divi, there are some certain specific things that make them different than traditional WordPress plugins. In this episode, the Divi Chat gang discuss their experiences building businesses around Divi plugin creation plus some ways that you can get started, if you're a developer and are interested in creating Divi Plugins as a business.
While the Divi product market may be a bit overcrowded today, the gang talks about some ways they were able to be successful in the early days of the Divi 3rd party product ecosystem.
From the technical aspects, to the business and marking side, David, Tim, Terry, and SJ share their knowledge in this uncensored (Leslie!) discussion on creating Divi Plugins as a business. Bonus PDF Download: Terry's Tips on Getting Started in Divi Plugin Development Hosts Present:

WooCommerce is the most popular eCommerce platform in the world. It's not just the most popular eCommerce plugin for WordPress, it's literally the most popular tool to build eCommerce websites with overall! It's more popular than Shopify or any other 3rd party system. WooCommerce powers over 30% of all online stores. 🤯
So because WooCommerce is so popular, there are thousands upon thousands of tools, extensions, themes, child themes, and so much more, to help you build better WooCommerce websites faster. This ecosystem is both the cause and the result of the popularity of WooCommerce.
Divi has a lot of built in WooCommerce features and integrations that make building WooCommerce websites with Divi super easy. Plus, there are a lot of outstanding Divi WooCommerce child themes in the Divi community too that make using WooCommerce with Divi even easier!
In this episode of Divi Char, we're talking about some of our favorite WooCommerce plugins and extensions that we've used on client sites or on our own. Some are free, some are premium, but all have proven to be useful and worth checking out for your eCommerce website. Hosts Present:

Is knowing CSS necessary to make a stellar Divi site? We don't think so but it certainly helps. Maybe you purchased Divi thinking you'd never have to touch a line of code but have found otherwise, or have found that it got you interested in learning and now you've been bit by the learning-to-code bug! Today we'll talk about how each of us get the most out of Divi and if it involves using more than what the modules offer. Hosts Present:

We've decided to give a little love to the Extra theme even though this is a "Divi" chat podcast.

Several on the panel have used Extra so today we share a bit about our experience with Divi's little brother (haha) AND ...

On this week's chat we discuss building your business around Divi. Some of us on the panel have done exactly this, whether it be through only using Divi to build their client's sites or by creating Divi products like premium child themes and plugins. Some even do all of the above! So today we share our experiences on why and how this came about for each of us and what steps you can take if you're interested in going in the same direction.

SEO. It's a beast. It's an often overwhelming part of the web development process for many new to the industry, and even the not-so-new. We do our best to cover some basics in this episode to help our viewers get a better understanding of SEO as well as address common questions about improving SEO on a Divi site.
Before you watch the episode, let's answer a couple common questions you may have that will set you up for success while watching the episode.
Firstly, is SEO for Divi any different than SEO for a normal website? The answer is no. The same SEO principles apply to Divi websites as they do to any other website on the internet. So why are we talking about Divi and SEO then? Well, even though the same principles apply no matter how you build your website, the method of implementing and applying best practice SEO strategies are going to be a bit different depending on how your website is built. Make sense? Plus, since this is Divi Chat after all, and our viewers are Divi users, we always look at topics through the lens of using Divi, even if the topic isn't exactly Divi specific.
In this episode, we cover some basic SEO knowledge around SEO best practices and what to focus on. Plus, we discuss briefly some of those nuances that are different when performing SEO tasks on a Divi website specifically.
We've also gathered some highlights and tools mentioned on the chat and bundled them into a nice little downloadable PDF :) Hosts Present:

WooCommerce is the leading eCommerce platform used on websites today* and it works pretty seamlessly with Divi.

Aaaah the Divi Visual Builder. Divi 3.0 really changed the game with it's latest release as even more users flocked to Elegant Themes as word of it's new frontend page builder spread. Some would argue frontend page builders are the future of web design, and certainly it's a bit of a no-brainer that ET threw their newest product into the mix.
In today's episode we speak to some of Divi's power users about their experience (or lack of) with the Visual Builder - how has it changed their workflow, is it something they recommend to their clients, other topics along those lines. Hosts Present:

Where would the iPhone be without the App Store? Or where would WordPress be without WordPress plugins? We think the same could be said about the Divi platform and Divi plugins. Over the last few years, Divi has "grown up" and has become a full blown platform/ecosystem/framework. Now Divi plugins are essential for delivering additional functionality to Divi that isn't included in the builder by default. Elegant Themes will never build in everything possible directly into Divi. Instead, they encourage users to install 3rd party plugins to achieve things that Divi can't do out of the box. For example, Divi Overlays is the most popular Divi popup plugin as well as one of the most popular plugins for Divi overall. It's searched for more than any other Divi product, and there's a reason for that. Divi doesn't have the ability to build popups directly within the product. Instead, Divi users can install Divi Overlays to create popups for Divi. The same thing could be said about lots of other Divi plugins.
In this episode of Divi Chat, the panelists discuss some of their favorite Divi specific plugins. Update: some of the plugins mentioned in the episode no longer exist, so we've updated the list and removed outdated plugins and added other popular Divi plugins. So the list below is accurate and up to date! Hosts Present:
