This major release promises to deliver new and innovative features, improved performance, and a more intuitive user interface. With a focus on empowering web designers and developers to create exceptional websites, Divi 5.0 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting updates to the theme yet. Now’s the time to get involved with your local Divi MeetupPro group or start your own!

Let’s Welcome Our Newest Meetup Host!

Please give a warm welcome to our new host! We just onboarded a new Divi host for Divi Toronto, and we’re thrilled to introduce you to her!

Divi Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Suzie Hernandez – Divi Toronto

Meet the host, Suzie Hernandez:

As the Owner & Lead Designer of Q7 Creative, Suzie specializes in WordPress Web Design, Hosting & Maintenance. She began using Divi in 2018 and never looked back. Her primary focus is not only to build her clients a better website with WordPress + Divi but to provide them with ongoing support through personal client relationships to grow their website alongside their business.

I feel that hosting meetups with other web designers and community members who use Divi will only increase my Divi knowledge and make me a better web designer. I also want to share my knowledge and help people realize, that no matter how far along they are in their Divi journey, they all have something of value to share. It’s not just the seasoned professionals who get to share, but even new members have a lot of experiences they bring to the table. I’d like to hear from everyone.

We’re so grateful to have you on board, Suzie!

Our very own Divi-Chicago member, Nancy Mikyska, gave us an in-depth presentation of the layout she created, the Responsive Comparison Chart for Divi. Nancy is the Founder of Cymatics Web Development. She showed us how the Comparison Chart works and how versatile it is. The layout is easy to use and all the CSS coding is built in. You can style the chart easily. Clients are very pleased with the way they can put comparison information into the chart with information and graphics. And, it looks great on desktop, laptop, tablet, and phone. Perfect responsive. Congrats to Nancy for developing such a much-needed addition to a website.

From the Host, Julius Lopez:

It has been a busy Winter quarter forcing me to focus on clients which took time away from being able to create Divi events.

But with the calendar page turning to [Q2], I have found some open windows of time to put together a fresh batch of Divi Los Angeles Meetups!

Keep an eye out on Meetup for [an] event to be held late in the month. It will be a Q&A answering all of your questions about launching a website. If you have been hesitant about getting your website launched, this is a Meetup you won’t want to miss, and more coming online soon!

Divi Sacramento March 2023

From the Hosts, Rosalinda Huck & Elizabeth Hahn:

Attendees: January-28 & March-19

January 2023
Our theme for January was New Year, New Practices, and we kicked off 2023 with two fantastic meetings. In our Divi Mix Online Discussion, members talked about new Divi plugins and products that they’ve tried, website maintenance and security procedures, and Divi and design skills they want to learn or improve this year.
For our Divi Deep Dive, Nathan Hall from Anchor Media was our guest speaker. He presented his workflow and approach to building Divi sites, including using Storybrand principles and how to streamline the time and effort to create content for a client’s website.

March 2023
Our theme for March was “Spring Cleaning”, and for both of our meetings, we talked about ways to spruce up our Divi websites. We had discussions and demos on how to clean up various styles, plugins, and content, as well as implement new marketing practices based on analytics and client needs. We look forward to our next few meetings as we round out Spring with more guest speakers!

Join Divi Sacramento for some continued Divi learning opportunities! ♥️

We look forward to growing the Divi Toronto community as we discuss the many Divi Resources available at our next meetup in April.
