Give Your Divi Designs A New Look With The Icon Manager

Image
A coffee cup can feel like a quick stop or an invitation to stay. Its shape and weight contribute to that impression, alongside the words and colors around it. The new Icon Manager in Divi 5 makes it easier to bring another icon family into a design. You can import SVGs into a collection and choose them from the icon picker while you build. Here are three sections with four icon styles each. The design stays fixed throughout each comparison, from the type and copy to the spacing between cards.

A heading can look right on its own and still feel out of place on the page. Add a different font weight to the next section, tighten the body copy somewhere else, and the small decisions start pulling against each other. Typography becomes easier to manage when those decisions share a structure. Divi 5 gives you several ways to build that structure.

The steps below take you through that setup and show what to check before using it across your site. How Typography Guides Readers Typography gives a page its reading order. A clear heading tells visitors where a section begins; consistent body text lets them settl...

Cloudflare introduced it as a spiritual successor to WordPress , and version 1.0 marked its first stable release . This article compares EmDash with WordPress based on the kind of site you are building and who will edit it. I have read up on EmDash and watched demos. Some of it does not impress me yet, but the project is early. We like many of Cloudflare’s products and value what the company does for the web. For our own sites, we would start with a pilot before committing to a migration. What EmDash Is And Who Is Behind It Cloudflare stewards EmDash under the MIT license, while WordPress uses GPLv2 or later. Cloudflare’s launch post says that no WordPress code went into it and that AI agents built much of it over two months. EmDash maintainer Matt Kane is also an Astro core maintainer. The Astro Technology Company team also joined Cloudflare. An EmDash site ca...
