In today’s episode, I have a fellow Brit, Cathy Topping from Your Web Toolkit, on the show to talking about DIY websites, but more specifically the DIVI theme from Elegant Themes. This is the theme I use to build this website and the theme Cathy uses for all of her clients.
Cathy is a website and graphic designer, now helping entrepreneurs and small business owners to build and market their own websites. She will help you build a website quickly and easily, even if you’re terrified of technology. And my god she does it so well.
I talk with people all the time who find it really difficult to get a website off the ground. If it’s your first time, then it’s not the easiest thing in the world to do… There is a pretty steep learning curve. I ended up messing around with WordPress for about a month and figured a lot of the basic stuff myself.
Then add on trying to make your website look good AS WELL!! It can be a tough mission.
Thankfully DIVI makes it a little easier with their beautiful drag and drop builder.
Cathy and I talk about why you should also consider using DIVI for your website, whether you’re a seasoned website builder or even if it’s your first (I do suggest a 2nd theme option as well if DIVI seems a little daunting). So open up your ear holes my friends… Cathy and I bring the heat!
Enjoy the episode Dudes and Dudettes!
