You know how when you need a little help on something, you seek out a trusted friend, mentor, expert—someone who is knowledgable about the issue, has always given you good, solid advice, carefully explained, and who genuinely wants you to benefit from it?

I design websites, but from a graphic designer’s point of view. I don’t even know much css. And I hate analytics, updating all the time, all that “maintenance” stuff. I have the DiviLife lifetime membership, which means those plugins and layouts will always be auto-updated, which is fantastic. And I’ve used several of the DiviLife plugins to make my websites really sizzle. If I’m ever stuck their support team gives me a quick, easy solution. Point is, I love DiviLife.

So when I heard about the DiviLife Creator Pro course, I was intrigued. It taught efficiency, interactive UX, profit maximizing for our web design business, digital traffic, and most importantly, goal-focused websites.

I signed up. But you know what the clincher was that made me place the order? Tim Strifler, the teacher himself. I have a lot of respect for Tim. Signing up was sort of a thank you for always treating me so well in the past (like a trusted friend) and for producing such excellent products.

What I didn’t expect was to realize in the first hour of the course it’s going to pay for itself many times over. (Tim explained so many features about Divi and DiviLife that I didn’t even know about, it was exciting to apply those to the current website I was just starting to work on.)

Besides that, did I learn anything in the Divi Creator Pro course? Only that I’ve been building websites somewhat backwards, inefficiently, spending way too much effort in my comfort zone of animation and typography, and that I can make a lot more money delivering what the clients actually need—so they make a lot more money, too.

There was a tremendous amount of information to absorb, but Tim made sure it was not going to be lost on us. There are replays of each lesson and extensive notes in text form as well as the running chat, with markers corresponding to the video, on the Divi Creator Pro Facebook page. (That alone is a great way to stay connected to each and every member in the course. We share insights and information with each other, too.)

The professional quality of the webinar video, excellent training slides, and the crisp, clear, studio-quality audio made each session comfortable and enjoyable. (Speaking of which, although each lesson was scheduled for a certain amount of time, Tim generously stayed with us until every topic and every question was addressed.) Even Tims’s “set” was pleasant to look at with its nice lighting and colors. And if you’re a dog lover, his pooch was usually lounging in the background.

Tim is totally transparent, sharing his own methods and insights, even letting us in on how he does his own marketing (like he says, “You signed up, didn’t you?”) I must say, once he gets us to sign up, he delivers 100% and more on what he promises.

As for the Q&A, I really admired how respectful Tim was with each question, no matter how “dumb” (most of mine, I’m sure) nor off-topic. He was absolutely not condescending, but welcomed every single question and delivered helpful answers. He also allowed the students to offer their experience and knowledge, which was very helpful. (All of that is in the replays, as the chat streams are also included.)

Great video, great sound, replays, notes, cute dog, etc….that would mean nothing if it weren’t for the well-organized content, a wealth of information in each lesson, Tim’s pleasant, conversational way of teaching, his clear and well-enunciated speech, likeable personality with a great sense of humor, and absolutely genuine caring about each and every one of us.

Would I take the course again? No way—I’ll watch the replays.

Instead, I’m going to take Tim’s NEXT course all about SEO!

This course has been extremely informative. I’d recommend it to anyone who is looking to improve their services to their customers or demand more for those services

The courses and products from DiviLife are top notch. The Divi tools are powerful yet easy to use and will take your website design and functionality to new heights.
