Welcome to Part 5 of the Divi Machine Classifieds tutorial series. In this crucial installment, we’ll be focusing on the essential building blocks of your Classifieds site. We’ll guide you through the practical and hands-on steps to craft the fundamental aspects of your website, including:
- Building the Homepage: This is the face of your site, and we’ll explore how to make it inviting and functional.
- Building the Header & Footer: These are the key navigational elements, and you’ll learn how to make them both user-friendly and visually appealing.
- Building the Archive Pages: These pages organize your content, and we’ll delve into how to structure them efficiently.

With Divi Machine‘s intuitive features, these tasks become achievable and clear. This section is about rolling up your sleeves and diving into the practical aspects of web development. We’ve laid the groundwork in previous parts, and now it’s time to assemble these pieces into a cohesive and professional site.

Final Thoughts
Congratulations on reaching the conclusion of Part 5 of the Divi Machine Classifieds tutorial series! Together, we’ve navigated through the critical building stages of your Classifieds site, crafting the Homepage, Header & Footer, Archive Pages, and the Single Page Template using the Theme Builder. You’ve taken significant strides in turning your website vision into a tangible reality.
But wait, the learning adventure doesn’t end here. If you’ve got the hunger to explore further, the next installment offers an exciting opportunity to delve into working with Divi Machine Accounts. We’ll be focusing on building a custom “My Account” area tailored for your classifieds site, an essential feature for enhancing user experience and functionality.
However, it’s essential to note that the upcoming sessions require Divi Machine Accounts and Divi Form Builder. If you don’t own these plugins, this marks the end of the series for you, but we hope you’ve found immense value in the journey thus far.
For those interested in continuing, and if you don’t already have these plugins, consider purchasing them individually or taking advantage of the Divi Engine All-Access Membership. It’s your passport to an even deeper exploration of Divi’s limitless potential.
Thank you for being a part of this learning experience, and we hope to see you in the next phase of our Divi adventure. Whether you’re moving on or continuing with us, you’ve built a strong foundation in Divi Machine, and the digital world is now your playground.
Happy building!
