    How To Make Your Landing Page Design Irresistible?

    I love building beautiful landing pages — but I hate coding as hell. Being a website owner, I want my landing page to be more than just great. This means that the landing pages must be able to convert readers into subscribers (at the very least).

    However, creating landing page irresistible isn’t an easy task. As a matter of fact, most WordPress visual builders are still very complicated when it comes to creating great landing pages. You either need to work on your coding or dozens of clicks before you can (finally) create a landing page with the design you wished for!

    I have used many visual builders and until yesterday, there isn’t any visual builder that allows me to customize my landing page easily without coding skills. And yes, that’s until yesterday.

    What changed? A new landing page builder?

    As much as I want to try a new landing page builder, the answer is “no.” This post is not about a new landing page builder. It is the new update from Thrive Architect, my favorite (and go-to) landing page builder for WordPress.

    Here’s a quick video to explain what’s new.

    What is Fancy Divider?

    Fancy Divider is a powerful tool that allows you to spice up the design of your website (not just your landing page).

    Let me show you what it looks like. Normally, a landing page design will look something like this.

    With Thrive Architect’s Fancy Divider, you can add more designs to the landing page or element.

    Here’s an example.

    What just happened?

    Basically, Fancy Divider allows you to apply unique ‘decorations’ and making your elements more interesting to the eyes.

    In other words, you can now create mesmerizing elements to increase engagement level and to maintain the interests of your website visitors (without losing them too soon).

    Is Fancy Divider right for you?

    While Fancy Divider won’t work like charm for everyone, I am seeing many reasons why this is a great addon or feature especially when you are designing your page or content.

    Thrive Architect’s Fancy Divider allows you add more fancy designs in just a few clicks and it is certainly a new feature to try on!

  • Two Tools To Create Custom WordPress Design (Without Hiring Developers)

    Two Tools To Create Custom WordPress Design (Without Hiring Developers)

    Custom WordPress design is eye-popping, head turning and above everything, awesome. However, the process of creating custom WordPress theme is long-winded and expensive.

    If you don’t have coding skills, you are going to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars in hiring web developers to get the job done for you. And that if you are able to find the right web developer.

    Headache, headache and more headache.

    In this article, you are going to discover how to create custom WordPress design without hiring developers (and spending a lot of money).

    What tools do you really need?

    Let’s face it. There are many fancy tools you can have in your arsenal but the truth is, you only need one — WordPress visual builder as what we call it.

    What is WordPress visual builder?

    A WordPress visual builder is a drag and drop website builder (some call it visual frontend site editor) that allows you to drop different elements on a WordPress post or page without using a single line of code. At the same time, visual frontend editor allows you to customize the site design at real time. Thus, changes are immediately visible which is known as what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG).

    But there are so(ooo) many options!

    Choosing the right WordPress visual editor is a challenging task. To make your task easier, here are the only two tools you should be using to create custom WordPress designs.

    Option 1: Divi Theme Builder

    Divi is a powerful WordPress editor that allows beginners and advanced users to build custom designs without coding skills.

    This is what I mean.

    Years back, building WordPress website designs requires a lot of coding works including HTML and CSS.

    Building a website design from scratch would take days if not weeks — not to forget the massive manhours needed to check the codes and testing.

    Yes, those are no fun at all.

    With the birth of WordPress website builders such as Divi, creating custom website design is no longer a hassle. As a matter of fact, it can be done and completed in a very short time (without breaking your neck or budget).

    Divi backend system is extremely easy to use (big kudos to the guys behind it — Elegant Themes).

    These are just some of the element options you can use to create your ultimate WordPress design.

    Option 2: Thrive Architect

    The beauty of Thrive Architect is the pricing (apart from similar features with Divi).

    While Divi is build up entirely as a theme, Thrive Architect is a plugin and is compatible with most WordPress themes available on the market.

    The advantages using Thrive Architect is that it is able to integrate with most themes, including popular ones such as StudioPress child themes. As I know that you probably have some theme installed, changing theme including widget areas could be time consuming.

    If you are looking for a quick solution, Thrive Architect is definitely your best bet here. You can build both WordPress posts and pages using Thrive Architect.

    One of the best advantages using Thrive Architect is the ability to important demo content. At this point of time, there are over 100 different templates that you can choose from and installing them with just one click. No coding, nothing.

    Thrive Architect comes with over 100 landing page templates, including homepage and blog post templates.
