Divi’s focus was and is to offer any user without any code knowledge the possibility to design and lay out their website without limits. And the truth is that he succeeded. From the first versions the possibilities were enormous and during all the time that has passed they have not stopped growing and improving.

This theme is a variation of Divi focused on magazine type websites.
