Best YouTube Tutorials for Divi Beginners [2022]

If you are a Divi beginner, you might be feeling quite overwhelmed, not only by the endless possibilities of Divi, but also by the amazing variety of Divi tutorials available on YouTube. You might be wondering where and how to start to get the most important information and learn all you need to know without wasting hours upon hours.

This is why we have prepared this short selection of beginner-friendly YouTube tutorials to help you learn the basics of creating and maintaining a Divi website – while doing your first, gentle forays into custom CSS design.

Just a quick note here: we have not included any tutorials by Elegant Themes, because there are just so many of them! But we want to make clear we recommend their content above all else. The official Divi documentation from Elegant Themes, as well as their YouTube channel, which is full of practical Divi tips and tricks, should be the first place you look for information.

You can watch each episode on its own, so you’re not overwhelmed by a 3-hour-long video from the get-go. The first lesson deals with setting up hosting, so all steps are covered!
