Articles and Presentations Post 4

Recently, I created a series for the Elegant Themes Blog on How To Become a Successful Divi Web Designer. Though it’s geared for web designers using Divi, most of these strategies and ideas can be applied no matter what theme or platform you use. I received some awesome feedback from the Divi community and was super excited to hear how this series impacted not only new Divi web designers, but also more experienced developers looking for ideas to help take their career to the next level.

I had numerous requests for links to the full series and though you can backtrack through the Elegant Themes Blog to find the posts, I figured I’d organize it here since ET doesn’t have a series backlog yet. Here’s all the links for your reference!
