  3. When getting to menu page… can you put in your own “names” instead of the pre existing ones you added? ( eg.,, about us, contribute, advertise, …etc. ) ?Thanks

  4. Its a best DIVI tutorial I have seen.Its help me a lot to learn. Thank You for this. When you upload the new one. I am waiting 🙂

  6. Great tutorial I think the best one on the youtube. But I think that you missed something , how to add MENU text in front of the navigation. 😀

  9. This is absolutely incredible, I can’t thank you guys enough. I started this tutorial knowing absolutely nothing about web dev and now I’m confident I can pull this off on my own – miracle! THANK YOU

  10. I love what you’ve done here LD. I especially like that you have a contents in the description so people don’t have to go through the entire 5 hour video to pick bits they want.

    I like how you have done your header. At the start of the video it shows how the header is transparent, but at 00:28 as you scroll down, the background of the header turns white so you can still see the titles. Could you point me out where in the video you show how to do this please? My website has a transparent header but when I scroll down, it stays transparent so you can’t see the titles if the text is the same colour as the page.

    Thanks again, and love your work!

  13. This is brilliant. I loved your tutorial. Infact I made one website myself following this tutorial. You are very professional and amazing. Thanks a lot. Keep up the great work. Cheers!
