How To Create Reusable Border And Shadow Presets In Divi 5

Image
Styling one border or shadow is quick. Keeping that same border or shadow consistent across an entire site is harder. A card gets one border. A column gets a slightly different one. A button shadow is copied from another page. Then the design direction changes, and you have to track down the same small style decision across multiple modules. Divi 5 gives you a better workflow with Option Group Presets . Instead of saving an entire module design, you can save one reusable group of settings, such as Border or Box Shadow, and apply it wherever that option group is available. In this post, we’ll show you how to create reusable border and shadow presets, organize them into a practical preset library, use Design Variables inside them, and update those styles globally from one place. Why Create A Border And Shadow Preset Library? Borders and shadows often look like minor styling details, but they shape how polished a site feels. If cards, images, sections, forms, and callouts all use sl...

Image
In Part 5 of our Mastering Flexbox series, we showed you how to use Display Order and Wrap Reverse in Divi 5 to create more intentional mobile stacking flows without duplicating sections or writing custom CSS for common reordering patterns.

Part 5 Of Mastering Flexbox: Reordering Content For Better Mobile Layouts

Image
In Part 4 of our Mastering Flexbox series, we showed you how to align content without hidden spacers or custom CSS by using Justify Content , Align Items , Grow To Fill , Module Groups , and Nested Modules . Now it’s time to solve another common responsive layout challenge: mobile stacking order. On desktop, a complex layout can look polished and intentional. But when that same layout stacks on mobile, the default order may not create the best reading flow. Images can stack above the wrong text, key CTAs can appear too low, featured cards can lose priority, and the overall rhythm can feel off. Divi 5’s Flexbox Layout System gives you visual controls for reordering content across breakpoints. With Display Order , and in some cases Wrap Reverse , you can improve the mobile experience inside the Visual Builder without duplicating sections or writing custom CSS for common reordering patterns. In this part, you’ll learn how to fix common mobile stacking problems, creat...
