Divi theme developer
Build it in Divi, or fix the Divi site you already have.
Marcus Zeal has built websites in Divi since 2014 and rebuilt this studio's own site on Divi 5 in August 2026. New Divi sites start at $2,400 flat, Divi 5 migrations and repairs get a fixed quote after a free 30-minute call, and the price is set before we start.
You talk to Marcus directly, and the site is yours to keep, with no lock-in.
{ Why hire a Divi developer }
Divi is easy to start and easy to make slow.
Many of the Divi sites we take over were built in an afternoon by someone who has since moved on. They still run Divi 4, load a wall of shortcodes on every visit, and carry years of plugins nobody remembers installing. A Divi developer clears that out, rebuilds the pieces that matter in Divi 5, and hands you a site your own staff can edit without breaking it.
We know which Divi settings cost you speed, which plugins duplicate what Divi 5 already does, and how to keep the result editable by the people who run your business.
5.9
Divi 5
Our own site runs Divi 5.9. We rebuilt it in August 2026, and it scored 95 or better on every Lighthouse category at launch.
2014
Building in Divi since
Marcus has held an Elegant Themes lifetime license since before Divi existed, and has built in Divi since 2014.
Our own studio site, rebuilt on Divi 5.9 in August 2026. Here is why we still chose Divi.
{ What it costs }
Three ways to hire a Divi developer, each with a fixed price.
A new Divi site. The Launch package is $2,400 flat: brand kit, custom design, a full Divi 5 build, up to ten pages populated with your content, on-page SEO, and training so you can edit it yourself.
A Divi 5 migration or repair. We audit what your site is actually running, tell you whether to migrate, patch, or rebuild, and quote a fixed number before touching anything. The free 30-minute call is where that starts.
Custom Divi work. Theme Builder templates, ACF-driven layouts, custom modules, and integrations, from $6,500.
{ After launch }
We stick around, and we know your site.
Divi, WordPress, PHP, and every plugin on your site will ask for an update this month. Care plans from $300 a month handle those updates, backups, and security, applied by the developer who knows your site. Agencies that need a Divi developer every month can reserve a Dedicated slot at half the rate card. Kevin McElyea of Aquatic Design puts it this way: “Zealous Sites responds promptly to our ongoing support requests with outstanding professionalism.”

{ FAQ }
Divi developer questions, answered.
Do you build on Divi 5 or Divi 4?
New builds are Divi 5. Divi 5 left beta on February 26, 2026, and Elegant Themes has committed to supporting Divi 4 for at least twelve months after that, so existing Divi 4 sites have until around February 2027 before patches stop. We maintain Divi 4 sites today and plan the move with you. Should you migrate to Divi 5? walks through the decision.
Can you fix a Divi site someone else built?
Yes, and most of our Divi repair work starts exactly there. The free 30-minute call covers what the site is running, what is breaking, and whether it is worth fixing or replacing. You get a fixed quote either way, and we keep your content and your Google rankings while we work.
Does Divi have to be slow?
No. Divi 4's biggest slowdown was re-parsing shortcodes on every page load, which Divi 5 removed. Our own Divi 5 site scored 95 or better on every Lighthouse category at launch, and every build gets Core Web Vitals tuning before it goes live.
The Divi vs Framer and Divi vs Craft CMS pages show a Divi 5 build we made scoring 100 in every Lighthouse category.
Do you use ACF with Divi?
Yes. Advanced Custom Fields plus the Divi Theme Builder is how we build sites where one layout repeats, such as case studies, staff directories, and product pages. Divi and ACF: a match made in WordPress developer heaven is our write-up.
Will I be able to edit the site myself?
Yes. Every page we build stays editable in the Divi Visual Builder, with presets so your edits keep matching the design, and the Launch package includes training. If you would rather send edits to us, the Care plan covers that.
Do I need my own Divi license?
No. The theme license is included in your build.
Have a project in mind?
Tell us what you're building. You'll get a fixed price to approve before anything starts.
