Divi is one of the most popular themes in WordPress for a simple reason — it enables you to create a website without coding or hiring a developer. All you have to do is to drag and drop the elements across your website and you’re done!
But despite the fact that the Divi theme is regarded as the number one theme and page builder duo in WordPress, you will still be able to save plenty of time if you know beforehand how to use it.
That’s why in this article, we’ll show you 15 of the best Divi theme tutorials to check out!
Let’s start.
First is the image overlay — a popular design concept where images are combined with other elements (like text) to form a single element. They work really well in getting the attention of visitors especially when the overlay changes when the user hovers over the image.
This Divi overlays tutorial is awesome because it will walk you through designing your own overlay element with a custom image. You will also learn what to do so the overlay will change once the visitor hovers over the image.

Text mask is another content and image combination design feature. It’s a cool design where the image is displayed in the shape of a text. It’s even cooler when the feature is paired with a special effect — like scroll effects.
This next tutorial will teach you exactly how to add a text mask scroll to your website. Specifically, you will learn how to design a text mask with background animation on a scroll and make the effect truly stand out.

Some website builders get frustrated because of having so many navigation links in the header that it almost seems overwhelming. The obvious choice here is to tuck the header away so there’s more space for the content.
This tutorial will help you create a slide down push menu in Divi from scratch. It adds a unique feeling to your website when the menu slides in from the top and pushes the content down. When the user hides the heading, the content will go back up again.

Still on the header part — did you know that you can add labels to your menu item and make them much more attractive to your visitors? Corner labels make your menu much more interesting to your visitors which could lead to a higher clickthrough rate for those pages.
This is where this next tutorial comes in. Here, you will learn how to create mobile responsive featured corner labels for your header menu. These labels will put some of your menu items in the spotlight and attract more visitors to click through these items.

You don’t need to be a graphic designer or an artist to create nice and catchy website designs. With Divi’s text module, you’ll be able to use text as an abstract design on your website — and it’s not really that hard to do.
The aim of this next tutorial is to teach you how to use text as an abstract design element on your website. You’ll learn how to get creative with the text module and use it to put up an awesome abstract background.

Section dividers add spice to your website and prevent it from being plain. As you may know, dividers help distinguish the start of a new section. But how do you feel about dividers that move when the visitor scrolls down?
Well, that’s certainly possible with Divi. In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a moving section divider that comes to life every time the visitor scrolls down or up. You’ll be able to add different kinds of scroll-generation motion to the section divider to create catchy scroll effects.

If you’re running a membership website, your users will love it if they can log in to their account no matter where they are on the website. That is, they don’t have to go through the hoops of going to a dedicated login page.
The solution here is to create an inline login form and place it on the header — which is exactly what this next tutorial is all about. You’ll have to create a new header from scratch and even use a little custom CSS yourself. But there’s no need to worry as the tutorial will guide you all throughout.

There’s a reason why almost all popular apps have a dark mode — they incur less strain on the eyes (in addition to looking really good). Many of your visitors will love it if your site has a dark mode they can toggle.
Fortunately, that’s easy to do using Divi. This next tutorial here will teach you how to implement a dark mode toggle on your website. What’s even awesome here is that you will not be using any plugins — just the plain old awesome Divi.

Call to action (CTA) buttons are important in encouraging your visitors to do something. That’s why the sticky CTA menu is invented. However, compared with the functionality that other page builders or plugins provide, this feature from Divi will enable you to keep the place of that CTA button in the original page design.
This next tutorial will teach you how to build a stick y CTA menu that will pop back to its place once you scroll down (or up) to its original placement. What’s even more impressive here is that it will work both for desktop and mobile users.

When using images on your design, you have two primary choices — to display the image as it is or use an image overlay. An image overlay will add flavor to your website design and can definitely make a difference in the outcome.
This next tutorial will help you create gradient shape image overlays . The tutorial also offers nine free shaped image overlays you can use on your website. However, you will need Adobe Illustrator or a similar tool to make full use of the downloadables.

If you want to create a background that has life, your option is usually to use a video. However, using a video could greatly affect the speed of your website. Fortunately, Divi allows you to animate a gradient background and create beautiful color transitions.
This next tutorial will teach you two methods on how to create gradient background animation in Divi. You’ll have to deal with a bit of design mumbo jumbo (custom CSS snippet and module animation).

If your website has something to do with time (and speed), you're probably using some kind of a clock or watch icon or graphics. As long as the design fits your theme, it will certainly look great.
But what if you can create a clock with a first and second hand that rotates ? Cool, huh? Well, it turns out that you can actually create this moving graphic right inside Divi itself. What's more, you don't need anything else than the standard modules inside Divi.

If you visit the homepage of Elegant Themes , you'll notice at the bottom part the gorgeous animation they have on the last call to action (the one shown on the image above). You can actually see it expand and fill in the whole page smoothly.
This next tutorial will teach you how to do that — creating an expanding CTA including the animation. Part of what you'll have to do is to use a custom CSS. Fortunately, all you really have to do is copy the code provided in the guide.
