Divi Supreme Pro

Over 50+ Premium Divi Modules
 

The Premium Divi Modules as well as 8 Extensions will help you speed up your design and development. Packed with everything you need to build amazing websites without any effort.

Divi Supreme Pro

This plugin has many useful and dynamic modules like the Flipbox to the left and the Supreme Card carousel on the Services page of this site, but our favorite tool that comes with this plugin isn’t a module at all, but an extension.  It is a popup extension which allows practically any Divi module to to fire a popup upon module or button click, or on an action like exit intent.  The Contact Us button in the header of this site pops up a contact form when clicked.

We like this plugin so much that we provide it free of charge to any Divi client we work with.

 

The Divi Theme

This is by far our favorite WordPress theme, combining visual building technology with innovative techniques allowing you  to build function and elegant websites in record time.

We’ve been using this theme on all our sites since 2019 and we don’t anticipate ever using anything else.  The developers at Elegant Themes continue to improve the efficiency and use of this theme, employing several functionality deployments yearly.

Our favorite thing about this theme is seeing the changes we want to make in real-time and across both the desktop and mobile.

We also like the consistency of the layout tand functionality as everything is the same in all their modules.

Fast WordPress hosting

Since its founding in 2011, Hostinger has been on a mission to offer hosting services that make life easier for developers and their customers. We deliver our promise by constantly updating server technology, improving customer support, and fine-tuning our home-designed hPanel.

Hostinger

Speed Up Your Website With Fast WordPress Hosting

 

Drive more traffic and conversions with our reliable hosting service. Get a 99.9% uptime guarantee, speed-optimization features, and industry-leading security.

Hostinger – WordPress Hosting

We host all of our sites on Hostinger.  We’ve used several other hosting platforms in the past, including SiteGround, but have found limitations with their offerings.

Hostinger meets our need for speed as well as database size.  If you are only planning a simple WordPress site using standard plugins, other hosters can meet your needs, but if you have custom plugins with their own database tables you likely need a hosting plan that can grow as your data grows.

This platform has its own hosting panel (no cpanel) as do most WordPress hosters.  Their panel has everything you will need to perform all your tasks including email, ftp accounts, access to phpMyAdmin, and backups.

 

Our mission is to Make People’s Lives Awesome.  Founded in 2008 as one of the very first premium WordPress companies, we’re now one of the most trusted brands in WordPress

We stand by our products 100%. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee with our refund policy.

SolidWP

Solid Security Pro, Solid Backup, and Solid Suite

 

SolidWP has a family of products led by Solid Security Pro and Solid Backup, but the rest of their products like Solid Central and Solid Suite are quality offerings as well.

SolidWP

Solid Security Pro is their flagship product which we’ve implemented on all our sites and most of the client sites we’ve managed.  It is a premier plugin that constantly monitors logins as well as vulnerabilites with the plugins used on a site.  For your logins you can set up Two-factor login for any WordPress role though you will likely require it for Administrators.

Security Pro has both a free and a paid version.

BackupBuddy is a good complement to any backup hosting provided in a hosting solution as your host backup may not be enough if you experience a server crash.

If you manage multiple sites we would highly recommend Solid Sync which helps you update plugins automatically across multiple sites and optimize your WordPress database.

 

Divi Contact Form Helper

Add on that enhances Divi Contact Forms

 

Upgrade the Divi Contact Form with tons of new settings and premium features like file uploads, date & time picker, custom subject line, confirmation emails, Zapier integration, save submissions to database, SMTP, icons, new merge tags, dashboard stats, and so much more!

Divi Contact Form Helper

This plugin is a bit different than may other Divi plugins as it doesn’t provide its own set of modules, but rather it provides enhancements to Divi’s Contact Form.

This plugin is filled with lots of useful enhancements like file uploads, date & time picker, custom subject line, confirmation emails, and so much more.  But our favorites are the ability to send tailored emails to the admin contact and provide a confirmation email to the sender.  No longer is the sender left with simply a ‘Thank you for sending your request’ after form submittal.  They receive confirmation that you received the email and a higher expectation that you will get back to them.

 

systeme.io

Systeme.io is and all-in-one marketing solution which includes sales funnels, email marketing, online courses, website builder, marketing automations, and affiliate program management.

What we like and use the most with systeme.io is their funnels complemented by email marketing.  It is quick and easy to build a funnel and tie it to a contact list in systeme.io.  You can then use emails collected via the sales funnel to market inform users about items you wish to sell or just to educate them on how to use tools you provide.

Systeme.io has a free plan which is really quite generous with capacity and features.  You can maintain a contact list of 2000 emails, and send unlimited emails to your contacts.
