Divi Quick Sites combines the power of AI with pre-made starter sites to give you the fastest and easiest way to launch a WordPress website. It is all powered by Divi, the most popular WordPress theme and visual page builder on the market.

Navigating to the WordPress Dashboard → Divi → Dashboard → Divi Qiuck Sites and clicking on the Generate A New Site button, you will be presented with two options:

  1. Use Pre-Made Starter Site: This option allows you to choose one of the Pre-made Starter Sites to lay the foundation of your website.

  2. Generate Your Site With AI: You can use this option to use Divi AI to build your website's structure (pages, Theme Builder templates, Header layout, Footer layout), write the content of each page, generate the entire site's design, and generate images, all based on your website's name, slogan, and description. Divi AI will take all that information into account and build the entire website for you.

Customizing Your Starter Site

Once the Starter Site is live, you can edit it further to match your brand.

Step 1. Editing Your Starter Site Theme Builder Templates

Divi Quick Sites also replicates Theme Builder templates from the Starter site and creates copies for your website.

The Divi Theme Builder is an interface within Divi that allows you to construct theme templates and assign custom templates to pages or posts across your theme. You can also create templates for your site's archive pages, such as Search Results, Category pages, Tag Pages, Author Pages, and more.

With the Theme Builder, you have complete control over every website element. And because you can use or exclude templates on any page or post throughout your site, there is no longer any need to edit a theme template file ever again manually.

  1. Go to WordPress Dashboard → Divi → Theme Builder

  2. Click on the Pencil icon on the left side of the global header

    Customize the Global Header

  3. Start customizing the Global Header layout

    Customize the Module inside the Global Header

  4. Once done, click on the Ellipsis icon to open the Visual Builder's toolbar

  5. Click on the Save button

    Visual Builder toolbar

  6. Click on the X icon to exit the Visual Builder

  7. Finally, click on the All Changes Saved button

    Theme Builder - Save all changes

Step 2. Customizing Global Fonts

Depending on which Starter Site you choose, a specific selection of Global Fonts will be applied to your headings and body text. You can change the global fonts from the Theme Customizer or the Divi Builder.

Change the Global Fonts using the Theme Customizer

  1. Go to Divi → Theme Customizer → General Settings → Typography

  2. Change the preselected fonts for Header Font and Body Font

  3. Click on the Publish button

    Customize the Global Fonts

Change the Global Fonts using the Divi Builder

  1. Load any of the pages that the Starter Site created

  2. Open any of the text-based module's settings

  3. Go to Design Tab → Heading Text → Heading Font and expand the Fonts list

  4. Click on the Edit Global Fonts button

    Customize the Global Fonts

  5. Choose the new heading and body fonts

    Customize the Global Fonts

  6. Click on the Save button

Step 3. Customizing Global Colors

  1. Open any module on any of the pages that were generated by the chosen Starter Site

  2. Check any of the variable color options, such as the Background color

  3. Click on the Global option

  4. Click on the Gear icon

  5. Select the color you want to use using the Color Picker

  6. Click on the Finish Editing Global Colors option

  7. Confirm the color change

  8. Close the module's settings window

Note: Check our Divi Color Management System article to learn more about organizing your color pallets efficiently.

Step 4. Customizing Global Presets

Global presets are pre-configured styles and settings that can be applied to multiple elements across a website for consistent design and easier updates.

Each Starter site is purposefully designed with modules that already have global presets. You can modify the existing presets to make site-wide changes and avoid manually modifying each element.

  1. Edit any of the Divi Modules by clicking on the Gear icon

  2. Click on the Preset option at the top

    Customize the Global Presets

  3. Hover the marked preset and click on the Pencil icon to edit it

    Customize the Global Presets

  4. Make your changes and save them

    Customize the Global Presets

Notes:

  • Any module using the edited preset will automatically inherit the changes done on the preset level.

  • Check out our Divi Global Presets article for in-depth documentation regarding the Global Presets
