One of the biggest complaints I hear from DIY web designers is they don't have a ton of time. There are somethings you can't skip -- you'll need visual assets -- but you can speed up the design process by taking advantage of Divi's portability function.

Show notes: designerless.com/podcast I keep hearing questions about: do you need a child theme for Divi? Well, the answer is basically, no....unless you're changing your functions file or making other changes to the code of the theme. For just updating CSS, you can do that all in Divi Theme Options. In this podcast episode I talk about child themes, and if you decide you need one I suggest you use the plugin One-Click Child Theme which creates a child theme for you instantly. Also, since recording this episode, I've discovered another plugin for child theme creation, and that's the Child Theme Creator, and it has been updated recently. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/designerless/support…

Ah, content migration. This is never fun, but it's often unavoidable. If you've started a website on another platform and then realise that WordPress is the best option for you, your choices are to go through the migration process or scrap it and start from scratch. The biggest concern people have when they come to me about a migration is: I don't want to lose my blog posts. And of course not! Nobody wants to take all their hard work -- all those posts and pages they've spent so long creating -- and scrap them. You're literally throwing time and effort down the drain. Fortunately WordPress has some tools to make moving your content a bit easier.
