How To Design CSS Grid Layouts For Your Website

Image
Building a CSS Grid layout isn’t difficult to understand, but it can be challenging to execute cleanly. Sketching columns is easy. Keeping spans, gaps, and breakpoints in sync across pages is where most people stall. The good news: there are several ways to build real grids. You can write CSS by hand, use WordPress blocks, or lean on page builder plugins. You can also use Divi 5 if you prefer to place items on a grid with controls instead of writing code. They all work, but in different ways. Some give total control, but slow you down during iteration. Others let you move fast during setup, but box you in once layouts get complex. The right choice depends on how comfortable you are with code and how much customization your project needs. In the sections ahead, we’ll walk through each method and show you what works and what doesn’t. Before You Build, Understand the Grid Before diving into code or a page builder, it’s worth revisiting how CSS Grid actually works. Understanding the ...

How To Build Semantic Color Roles With Relative HSL In Divi 5 (Primary/Info/Warning)

Image
Managing dozens of color variations across a design system creates unnecessary chaos. You might spend hours adjusting tints and shades instead of building the actual website. However, there’s a way to build colors that are flexible, consistent, and easy to maintain: with Hue, Saturation, Lightness (HSL)-based colors . Divi 5 gives you the tools to do this without overcomplicating your workflow. In this post, we’ll walk through setting up semantic color roles so you can design intuitive layouts without the grunt work. Let’s get to it! What Are Semantic Color Roles Semantic color roles organize your palette by purpose. Instead of naming colors “blue” or “red,” you name them by what they do: primary, secondary, warning, error, success, and info. Subscribe To Our Youtube Channel This naming system solves a common problem. You’re building a site and need an error color. You could create a new red or hunt for the red you used before. With semantic naming, you just grab “error” and mo...

How To Create Nested Grids In Divi 5

Image
Divi 5 offers Flexbox ,  Nested Rows , and  CSS Grid , which, when combined, build a stunning structure that stays responsive all the time. You can create a parent grid for your main structure, then build smaller grids inside its columns to organize content with real control. In this post, we’ll show you how to create nested grids using these new features. We’ll recreate the design step by step and show you how to style each grid level separately, ensuring everything stays clean, flexible, and easy to update. Let’s get to it! Step-by-Step Tutorial On Creating Nested Grids Before we get started, let’s take a quick look at the grid layout we’ll recreate: This layout uses one main grid to hold two sections of content. Each section includes its own smaller grid for images, text, and social icons. The parent grid controls the overall structure, while the inner grids keep each content group perfectly aligned. Both sections stay balanced on desktop and reflow naturally on mobil...

How To Run A Pre-Launch Design QA With Divi 5’s Inspector

Image
Before you publish a landing page, you scroll through one more time to check if everything looks right. But spacing that doesn’t match, incorrect colors, or different fonts can slip right past you. Divi 5’s Inspector tool solves this by displaying all your design changes in one place, making it easy to spot what needs fixing. This guide walks you through using the Inspector to review your landing page section by section and make sure it’s polished before launch. How Divi 5’s Inspector Makes Design QA Effortless The Inspector in Divi 5 is a visual panel that allows you to view everything happening inside your design without opening multiple settings windows. When you select any section, row, or module, it instantly shows all the applied design and content settings in a single sidebar. You get an immediate view of exactly how that part of the page was built. Colors, fonts, spacing, and presets appear all at once, which turns the usual guesswork of design review into something more...

How To Create Hover, Focus, And Active States With HSL-Based Variables In Divi 5

Image
Building interactive elements that look good across every user action takes more effort than it should. You set up a button’s default appearance, then manually create variations for when someone hovers over it. Each state needs its own color, and each color requires its shades. Keeping them all visually cohesive means juggling numbers that don’t relate to each other. Divi 5 combines HSL-based color variables with state management to simplify and make this process more consistent. Here’s how to set it up. What Are HSL Colors HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness. Unlike hex codes or RGB values that mix red, green, and blue channels together, HSL separates color into three independent controls. Hue measures the actual color position on a wheel using degrees. Red lands at 0°, yellow at 60°, green at 120°, cyan at 180°, blue at 240°, and magenta at 300°. The wheel completes at 360°, returning to red. Saturation controls color intensity as a percentage. Full saturation at 100...
