**Divi is an industry-leading WordPress theme and an advanced visual page builder developed by Elegant Themes.**

Unlike traditional themes, Divi replaces the standard WordPress post editor with a vastly superior visual editor. It allows both beginners and professionals to design stunning websites using a "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG) interface. In 2026, with the full rollout of **Divi 5.0**, the platform has transitioned to a high-speed, "Foundation" based architecture, addressing historical concerns regarding code bloat and performance.
