CSS variables are like reusable design ingredients. You define them once, as your brand colors, font sizes, or spacing, and then use them wherever needed. They save you from typing the same hex codes and pixel values across different sections.
Their biggest benefit is how easy they are to update. If you update a variable once, every place it’s used will reflect the changes, too. So, not only do you avoid manually repeating the same values across multiple sections, but you can also tweak the entire website’s look by changing just one value.
Here’s where it gets even better: with Divi 5, you don’t need to write any code to use CSS variables. Divi’s Design Variables let you use them in a visual, no-code workflow. Curious how it works? Keep reading.

Divi Contact Form Helper just crossed a fresh milestone for Divi 5, and we’re excited to walk you through the updates. Note that this is a progress check — not everything is finalized, but things are getting close for this extension.
We love seeing more companies jump into the Divi 5 experience. Every community extension that embraces the new foundation widens that on-ramp for all Divi users to start enjoying the better experience. We’re also doing our part with improved backward compatibility, but full extension compatibility is what really completes the Divi 5 experience.

We have made remarkable progress with Divi 5 in the past years. Especially since the release of the Public Alpha in late 2024, we’ve been able to show off what’s possible with this new foundation.
There were multiple promises we made that Divi 5 would fulfill. They are:
- All current Divi websites would be compatible with the new infrastructure
- Divi would be undeniably faster than the previous version
- Bugs, like double-loading, would be squashed forever, and
- A resumption of feature development at a very fast pace

Divi users, we hear you — the wait for Divi 5 has been a long one. But this delay isn’t caused by missteps or indecision. It’s a deliberate choice to prioritize quality over rushing an unfinished product.
Divi 5 represents a complete core rewrite, ditching outdated shortcodes for a modern codebase that enhances speed and performance. We have already released a ton of new Divi 5 features, which will make your website-building experience a lot more enjoyable.
By arriving fashionably late, Divi 5 ensures stability, innovation, and a seamless user experience. And we’re welcoming everyone to start using Divi 5 whenever they’re ready, because Divi 5 is ready to be used on new websites today.
