Do you have a theme editor as powerful as Divi?

Hello,

Right now I have a basic Divi theme set up on MrBradsahw.com.

Do you guys have something similar? If so is it truly as powerful?

    I think it’s better, but I have to be honest. I am not a fan of either since I don’t support the drop and drag method of wordpressing. But if you are choosing between the two. I say Upfront for one reason, much more scalable and if you decide to change to a non layout editor the job is much easier. I am fighting a site now that was deployed on divi, moving it to a custom Foundation based theme.

    Hello Jon,

    I hope you’re well today and thank you for your question!

    We do have Upfront that Jerry (thanks Jerry!) mentioned. Upfront is a parent-theme that also includes a powerful visual (drag&drop) editor. There are already child-theme ready to use but you may also use an Upfront Builder plugin to create your own child-themes for Upfront.

    Take a look at this pages please:

    I do feel however that it’s worth to mention that Upfront is very different than Divi and similar “builder themes”. It’s based on a very different principles and there may be some “learning curve” to get used to it and learn about all it’s “powers”. Though I believe that would be rewarding :slight_smile:

    I think you may want to check this Upfront docs and also first give Upfront some time to play with it to get a glimpse of what can it do and how to use it:
