Happy Harvest Divi Nation! 🎃🍁🥮

Yes, after an extended summer, cooler weather is here! Not to mention the usual Q4 uptick in business. How did your Q4 start? On track and as expected? Dry and 50% down from this time last year? Super busy and you’re needing extra help? Not sure any of us are where we predicted to be at the beginning of this year but here we are!

Here at Elegant Themes, we’re prepping for our annual Black Friday happenings. I bet a lot of our Divi community of entrepreneurs and agencies are doing the same. November is here and we wish you all the best Q4 possible!

While we have you, check out our current stats and wonderful Divi community updates.

Updates from Existing Groups

Our Divi Meetup community of leaders just completed our 2020 Q4 Video Roundtable chat. We were in awe that our fourth and final video chat of the year came and went. 😅 The team of leaders that run the local Divi meetups are growing in their joy for, not only their respective communities but for our group of global Divi meetup leaders as well! We love seeing them collaborate and support each other! It is what genuine community building is made of. Collaboration over competition. Service and help toward others. It’s beautiful and we’re grateful to see our Divi community grow in this aspect. 🥰

Check out the monthly happenings of some of our communities below!

Divi Dallas/Fort Worth

From the Hosts, Tommy Lee, Jube Dankworth, and Kent Pilkington:

This October, Divi DFW learned about how to add motion to Divi websites, using options such as Scroll Effects, Animations, Hover, and the new Sticky Options. Not only did we have a live demonstration of all these options, but we also had a live demo of how to implement these options into websites, and talked about several best use cases. I think that is especially what makes our group unique, in that we work together during our meetings, not just on the topic, but general Divi questions and problems.

We hope you’ll join them on the 17th for another Divi DFW meeting.

Divi Salt Lake City

From the Host, Dustin Olsen:

This month for Divi Salt Lake City we focused on Beginner Designer Tips and walked through a typical workflow in building out a brand new site. We walked through Theme Option settings, discussed creating custom headers and footers with Theme Builder, how to set up and manage Presets, and when to use the Divi Library. It was so packed, we probably need a part 2.

Next month they are doing a Q & A. You bring the questions, and they’ll bring the answers. Come join them!

From the Host, Anthony Garcia:

This month we had another great discussion about all things Divi, and because of the pandemic and Zoom, we were able to host visitors from other areas and states. Silver linings, am I right? It’s good to connect and have some community in these times that can feel very isolating. It’s nice to have some other pros to bounce ideas off of and get help with problems that might have come up during the month. Thanks, Divi Santa Cruz!

Did you know there was a Divi Meetup in the Santa Cruz area?? Join their group today!

Divi Seattle

From the Hosts, Bradon Garley & Shane Griffiths:

October was Accessibility month for Divi Seattle. We took a deep dive into what accessibility is, why it’s so important for the web, and what we can do to make our websites more accessible for all users. Our demo covered common issues like color contrast, missing alt text, and semantic structure. We went through how to test for accessibility using free tools, and how you can preview your website with filters replicating common visual disabilities. In the end, we showed how being mindful of accessibility can make the web useful for everyone, and it doesn’t require much additional effort to do so.

Okay, but have you visited a Divi Seattle event yet? Don’t miss out!

From the Host, Steve Willingham:

The Divi-Tampa October VIRTUAL Meetup was held on Thursday Oct 22 at 1PM EST. Fifteen Meetup members signed up to attend, and seven actually attended. Relatively speaking, this was a great turnout, well above the typical 30% for these meetups. Members joined from the Tampa Bay area as well as from Dallas, TX and Eugene, Oregon. We had a wonderful exchange of knowledge and tips on various Divi subject elements, live shared our websites and admin questions and curiosities. We shared info about website accessibility, menu and color theme tips, server speed issues and preferred site server hosts. Can’t wait ‘till we can all meet in person again.

Overall, this is a fun group that’s lively and engaged! Visit their next meetup.

From the Host, Celine de Castro:

Our October meeting was a great success. Each of the 6 attendees shared their websites and we addressed each of their concerns. We played with some new layouts and I explained the differences between email opt-in and contact forms. The best part is that they all learned some new things and felt confident to continue building with Divi.

Do visit a Divi Valencia meetup! They’ll welcome you with open arms.
