Divi vs. Jadu CMS

Divi is great if you build multiple websites for clients; however, I'm not sure it is cost-effective if you only make a single site.

Jadu CMS is not currently geared toward the academic side, but more of the business/government types of organizations. Things can be tweaked to suit your needs, but sometimes there are limitations. The programmers are very helpful in assisting with that.

If you have some in house programmers, and you can get developer training, they will be able to program their own custom widgets to use on your website. We did not have programmers but managed to create a few simple widgets.

There's also a marketplace to look for other widgets that you could use on your site.

• It has a very easy-to-use and extremely complete block editor.
• It offers many templates that you can use as a base for your website.
• Customer service has been fast and effective whenever I have needed it.
• Tiene un editor de bloques muy sencillo de usar y extremadamente completo.
• Ofrece muchas plantillas que puedes utilizar como base para tu web.
• La atención al cliente ha sido rápida y efectiva siempre que la he necesitado

• Reliability. The LAMP-powered server/software rarely has any problems and can handle hundreds of concurrent users without issue. It was developed with scalability in mind.
• Ease of Use. Our users find the backend GUI very easy to use. The layout is intuitive and follows the same format throughout the entire control panel.
• Powerful. Even if it doesn't do something you would like it to out of the box, the code is well formatted and easy to customize.

• The load time of the builder could be faster. On some websites it takes a long time to load, and may crash the page. (I believe they've said they're working on this stability issue.)
• Warnings on updates if they're difficult for some sites to run. I have one website that has crashed more than once from Divi's theme updates. I always back it up before the update so I restore the site, but this is still a bit of an inconvenience.
• Integrated (or more clearly marked) tutorials within the builder. I migrate site maintenance and ownership to clients after the site is complete and some could use refreshers within the builder on what happens where i.e. the difference between a section, row, module.

• The custom HTML editor can be frustrating
• Does not provide advanced controls and looks as well as some competitors
• Menus to add media content are litigious and require many clicks

I decided not to give it a 10 because I don't know what else is out there in terms of CMS products, and there's a bias when you've only been exposed to one product. At my current job, I used Jadu sparingly but it's easy to get reacquainted with the software and the look and feel of the CMS

Divi is overall a great tool to use - I think I would need to spend a little more time to dig into the tool to provide more long term feedback.

For the common user, Jadu is very easy to use and to understand. For the more complex user/administrator, there's a lot of power to be harnessed in HTML editing, creating widgets, editing styles, creating workflows, and other advanced features Jadu can work up for the customer.

I find Elementor very clunky and find Divi much more intuitive.

Also we purchased a lifetime license for Divi and can use it on unlimited websites, while Elementor there is a yearly subscription per site

Jadu is miles behind these and many other CMSs. The others are much more up to date with their code and ease of use. The ability to customize other CMSs is much easier and the code structure actually makes sense. Jadu was selected because it had a portal out of the box.

• Higher conversion rate
• Theres no needed more tools
• Ive got rid of a CTA tool since with Divi i can make them. Is not that easy, but is functional
