DIVI is definitely the most popular WordPress theme for the web’s entrepreneurs and self-taught creators. The DIVI Builder (a visual editor) helps you create beautiful websites without requiring any prior knowledge, much like Wix or Squarespace, all while retaining the power, autonomy and upgradability of WordPress, the CMS used by over 34% of the web.

Are you looking for an easier alternative to WordPress? Infomaniak’s web hosting solutions and Cloud Servers include Site Creator free of charge, a powerful tool for creating a professional website with a blog and an online store. This solution does not require any updating, offers more than 50 professional themes and can be used immediately.

Creating a professional website in minutes using DIVI

Infomaniak’s all-inclusive WordPress hosting provides free access to the Elegant Themes catalogue, including the indispensable DIVI. Thanks to a fully automated installation process, you can start creating your website in seconds. The dozens of DIVI templates included in your hosting enable you to achieve a professional and attractive end result without requiring you to design the whole website yourself from top to bottom.

Important: you must sign up for an Elegant Themes offer to benefit from their customer service. Infomaniak only offers free installation of the theme (Divi, Extra, etc.) and extensions (Monarch, Bloom, etc.) of your choice and the benefit of official updates.

DIVI layouts: 900 stunning ready-to-use website designs

Installed free of charge with Infomaniak’s WordPress hosting, the DIVI theme allows access to a library of more than 120 complete website templates and more than 900 web pages with striking designs. Simply load the desired pages and customise them using your images and text to put together a professional website perfectly suited to mobile devices.

Examples of complete website templates available with your DIVI hosting.

Each website template provides the essential pages for building a compelling professional website. For example, you have Home, Contact, Services, About, Blog, Portfolio and more pages at your disposal. Build and replicate any page or section of a page: the DIVI library stores your customised templates so that you can use them again at your leisure.

As you review the different templates, you can test them in your browser to see how they perform or load them directly into the page editor to create your website.

DIVI Builder: modifying your web pages using the visual editor

If you know how to use word processing software, then you’re ready to build your website using DIVI. The editor allows you to interact directly with the page when making any desired modifications. Double-click on an item to replace the text with your own words or hover your mouse over different sections to display a context menu. This allows you to fine-tune settings such as font, colours or animations. The only limit is your own imagination!

The DIVI theme allows you to edit your web pages with the greatest of ease.

WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get): what you make in the DIVI visual editor is exactly what your visitors will see when you publish your website’s pages. The on-screen interface lets you configure your website for mobile, tablet and computer formats. In particular, you can show and hide certain features for one or the other of these devices exclusively, depending on the desired display.

Automatically installing WordPress and DIVI on a web hosting

Want to start building your website as soon as possible? Infomaniak’s dedicated wizard will install WordPress and DIVI for you in seconds.

Launching the automatic installation couldn’t be easier. Once you have chosen your web hosting and your domain name, simply go to your hosting dashboard under Manager. Go to the menu on the left under “My websites” and click “WordPress & Apps“.

Infomaniak lets you install more than 120 CMSs in one click, including WordPress.

By clicking “Install“, you launch the wizard and are prompted to enter the name of your website and create a user. To install the original DIVI theme, click “Advanced installation”, then click “Select” under “Website theme”.

The wizard then proceeds to automatically install WordPress along with the DIVI theme on your hosting. All that’s left is for you to create your WordPress website using your login details created during the WordPress installation.

Creating web pages using the DIVI theme

Whatever your project may be, DIVI helps you to create attractive web pages that load quickly. To create your first web page, go to the WordPress dashboard under “Pages“, then select “Add a new page“. WordPress then allows you to edit your page using the DIVI Builder:

When you select “Use the DIVI Builder”, a wizard appears to help you choose from the existing templates. Simply click on a template and load the page that you wish to use:


Then, repeat this same process for the other pages of your website. It’s as simple as that 🙂

DIVI child theme: creating and using a child theme

The “child themes” let you use a WordPress “parent” theme, such as DIVI, without ever needing to modify it. Using child themes is very much encouraged, as this allows you to retain significant changes made to the child theme when the parent theme is updated.

Using Infomaniak DIVI child themes

Infomaniak offers ready-to-use child themes. To install them, simply select the themes by Infomaniak when creating your website via the Infomaniak installation wizard. You can choose the theme “Divi creative agency” or “Divi photography”. Once installed, these themes allow you to use all of the web page templates described in this article.

Creating a DIVI child theme

If you’ve installed DIVI in its original version, you can of course create a child theme to preserve all of your modifications during DIVI updates. For easy child theme creation, we recommend that you use the online tool called Child Theme Maker by Elegant Theme. Then, simply download this theme onto your WordPress console and activate it.
