Divi vs Pro

Which one is better? Divi or Pro?

Ever wondered which of the two themes you should choose? We've build a quick comparison chart for you to see which of the two multi purpose themes are the perfect fit for you. While one of the two is our theme so excuse us for being a little biased, we are confident that by doing this in such a format it's very transparent and objective.

Building a WordPress site can be nerve-wracking especially when you don’t have the slightest idea on how to start. While you can just pick one of the free default themes from WordPress, is that really what you want you to do or are you looking for something that speaks more about who you are and what you offer?

In this post, you’ll learn more about WordPress themes and which between Divi and Themeco Pro is right for you.

What is a WordPress Theme?

A theme in WordPress refers to the templates and styles that you use to build your site. They include templates for your landing page, content, portfolio, About Us, and many more. If you visit the Themes section of WordPress, you’ll know that it has at least 7,500 themes. Now that’s a lot!

Pros and Cons of WordPress Themes

The mere 7,500 themes are enough for you to find a nice template. WordPress’s large library allows you to browse from a number of subjects for blogs, photography, e-commerce, news, and many more. If you’re in a hurry to put your website up, these set themes can be a lifesaver to your tight schedule.

There are free and premium themes. Premium themes can cost from $50-$100. These paid themes offer a lot more than just design. They include customer support, admin panel, updates, and no credit links.

It may be hard to believe that in spite of having thousands of templates, you might find a need to customize your design. Unfortunately, apart from the drag and drop features of the site, there’s not much you can do with the themes. This is where you’ll need a plug-in.

Page Builders

After exploring WordPress themes, you’ll eventually realize that creating custom designs will give the flexibility you need. This is where plug-ins come in.

There are two popular plug-ins that can offer you everything you’re looking for to create your ideal website. They are Divi and Themeco.

About ElegantThemes and Themeco

Divi is two things - a WordPress theme and a page builder. It consists of visual icons and drag-and-drop features that make any novice website builder look like a pro. When you wish to create your custom designs, you can download the Divi plug-in.

On the other hand, Themeco is a page builder that is purely a paid version. It has flexible paid versions that you can get monthly or yearly. While Themeco has a lot of similar features with the Divi Page Builder, its unique selling point is being the most advanced page builder you’ll ever see.

Similarities

These two page builders are often compared to each other because they have a lot of similarities. One of which is their interface. Both page builders follow a drag-and-drop experience. This means that it’s easy for anyone, even those without a web developer background, to create aspects of their website.

Another similarity is the ability to mix and match different templates. You can choose some parts of one template and mix it with other aspects of another. There’s enough flexibility for you to experiment with different layouts that will fit your site’s needs.

The Divi and the Pro also allow you to control the types of access people have on your website. If you’re not the only one building the site, you can assign role managers so you can better regulate who can do specific actions on your site. Of course, this excludes your audience’s roles.

Last but not least is their library of templates and packs. These page builders will not be called as such if they don’t have their own designs. Both have an expansive template library whose elements you can mix and match. There are also templates for specific page components like headers and footers.

Differences

Obviously, Divi and Themeco Pro are not the same in every aspect. To help you figure out which one is better for you, here are the major elements and Divi’s and Theme Pro’s performance against each other.

The first, and probably most important one, is the library of templates. When it comes to the number of templates, Divi wins this element because it has over 1,000 layouts. There are at least a thousand of different templates to choose from for the arts, business, medicine, and other industries.

Themeco’s Pro shows to be a tough competitor in this arena, too as it currently has hundreds of layouts available for Pro users. The number of layouts consistently increases as time passes, so you can definitely expect lots of templates to come.

While Divi looks like the obvious winner in this category, you have to consider the number of templates it has for the industry and theme you want. For example, if you’re into photography and you’re looking for a portfolio-like layout, Themeco Pro may have more templates suited for you than Divi despite its big library. When it comes to templates, it’s all about the number they have for your specific needs.
