We know that most of you are always looking for new ways to make the websites you create unique. With Divi, there are many ways to make your website stand out from the other ones out there. Today, we’re going to show you how you can create stunning section titles using Divi’s built-in options only. This approach is great if you want to create a stunning design, maintain the overall page structure and keep the navigation seamless.

Let’s get to it!

Preview

Before we dive into the tutorial, let’s take a look at the result we’re aiming to achieve on different screen sizes:

section titles

Let’s Start Creating!

Add New Regular Section

Spacing

Start by opening a new page, switching over to Visual Builder and adding your first section. Without adding any rows or modules yet, open the section settings and add some padding:

  • Top Padding: 0px
  • Bottom Padding: 0px

section titles

Add New Row

Column Structure

Continue by adding a row using the following column structure:

section titles

Background Color

Open the row settings next and add a background color to your entire row:

  • Background Color: #f9f9f9

section titles

Column 1 Gradient Background

Then, add a subtle gradient background to your first column. This will help create the overlap of section titles between columns.

  • Color 1: #0031c4
  • Color 2: #00aeff
  • Column 1 Gradient Direction: 125deg

section titles

Sizing

Change the spacing of your row as well to make sure it takes up the entire width of the screen.

  • Make This Row Fullwidth: Yes
  • Use Custom gutter Width: Yes
  • Gutter Width: 1
  • Equalize Column Heights: Yes

section titles

Spacing

Lastly, change the Spacing settings according to the different screen sizes:

  • Top Padding: 0px
  • Bottom Padding: 0px
  • Column 2 Top Padding: 200px
  • Column 2 Bottom Padding: 200px
  • Column 2 Left Padding: 350px (Desktop), 50px (Tablet & Phone)
  • Column 2 Right Padding: 50px

section titles

Add Section Title Text Module to Column 1

H2 Text Settings

Now that all row settings are in place, we can start adding modules. We’ll start with the first column. Here, the only module we’ll need is a Text Module. After adding the H2 content in the Content box, go ahead and change the H2 text settings:

  • Heading 2 Font Weight: Ultra Bold
  • Heading 2 Font Style: Uppercase
  • Heading 2 Text Alignment: Center
  • Heading 2 Text Color: #ffffff
  • Heading 2 Text Size: 150px
  • Heading 2 Line Height: 1.25em
  • Heading 2 Text Shadow Vertical Length: -0.55em
  • Heading 2 Text Shadow Color: rgba(0,255,255,0.25)

section titles

Spacing

The overlap between column is different on desktop, tablet and phone. To create the overlap, we’ll make some changes to the Spacing settings of our Text Module:

  • Top Margin: 325px (Desktop), 150px (Tablet & Phone)
  • Bottom Margin: 325px, -120px (Tablet), -110px (Phone)
  • Right Margin: -100% (Desktop), 0px (Tablet & Phone)

section titles

Filter

Last but not least, we’ll use a blend mode to create the difference in color for the text that shows up.

  • Blend Mode: Overlay

section titles

Add Title Text Module to Column 2

H3 Text Settings

Let’s move on to the second column. There, the first module we’ll need is a title Text Module. After adding your H3 content, change the H3 text settings:

  • Heading 3 Font Weight: Semi Bold
  • Heading 3 Text Color: #00aeff
  • Heading 3 Text Size: 60px
  • Heading 3 Letter Spacing: -3px

section titles

Spacing

Create some space by adding bottom margin next:

  • Bottom Margin: 50px

section titles

Add Divider Module to Column 2

Divider Color

The second module we’ll need is a Divider Module. Open the Color settings and change the color to match with the color palette of the design:

  • Divider Color: #00ffff

section titles

Sizing

Then, modify the Sizing settings:

  • Height: 56px
  • Width: 75%

section titles

Add Description Text Module to Column 2

Text Settings

Continue by adding a description Text Module using the following text settings:

  • Text Size: 17px
  • Text Line Height: 1.3em
  • Text Orientation: Justify

section titles

Sizing

Change the Sizing settings next:

  • Sizing: 70% (Desktop), 100% (Tablet & Phone)

section titles

Spacing

Add some space below this module using a bottom margin as well:

  • Bottom Margin: 50px

section titles

Add Button Module to Column 2

Button Settings

The last module we’ll need in this column is a Button Module. After adding the CTA, change the button settings:

  • Use Custom Styles for Button: Yes
  • Button Text Size: 17px
  • Button Text Color: #ffffff
  • Button Background Color: #00aeff
  • Button Border Width: 0px
  • Button Border Radius: 100px
  • Button Letter Spacing: -1px
  • Font Weight: Ultra Bold
  • Font Style: Uppercase

section titles

Spacing

And to give the button a cleaner look and feel, we’ll add some padding as well:

  • Top Padding: 10px
  • Bottom Padding: 10px
  • Left Padding: 30px
  • Right Padding: 30px

section titles

Box Shadow

Last but not least, we’ll use a subtle box shadow to add a bit of depth to our section:

  • Box Shadow Blur Strength: 54px
  • Box Shadow Spread Strength: -8px
  • Shadow Color: rgba(0,0,0,0.3)

section titles

Clone Section

Change All Copy

To create the second section, we’re simply going to clone the one we’ve already created and then, change all the copy.

section titles

Change Row Background Color

For this new section, we’re going to use another color palette. Start by changing the background color of your row.

  • Background Color: #efefef

section titles

Change Column 1 Gradient Background

Then, choose another gradient background as well.

  • Color 1: #5f00a8
  • Color 2: #9000ff

section titles

Change Section Title Shadow Color

We’re matching the Text Shadow Color with our new color palette too:

  • Heading 2 Text Shadow Color: rgba(255,0,255,0.24)

section titles

Change Section Title Spacing Settings

Depending on the length of the copy you’re using, you’ll need to play around with the negative right margin.

  • Right Margin: -110% (Desktop)

section titles

Change Title Text Module Text Color

Then, change the Text Color of the title Text Module in column 2.

  • Heading 3 Text Color: #9000ff

section titles

Change Divider Color

Likewise, make the divider color match the design.

  • Color: #ff00ff

section titles

Change Button Background Color

To finish off, you’ll need to change the background color of the Button Module.

  • Button Background Color: #9000ff

section titles

    • Thank you very much for creating the json file. It helped me a lot.

      Take care,
      Chris

  1. Thank you! Download link? Tutorials of design could have a download link with the json file.

    • I agree. I wish there would be a json file for these tutorials. That can save time and our vision!

  2. At the 1st column text spacing the right margin should be: Right Margin: -100% (Desktop), to be exactly the same with the demo…

  3. Best Guide Ever.
    Divi My Favorite All Time.
    Thanks Elegantthems

  4. I followed this step by step:
    1. I “bang out sites” and was not using any of these customizing features.
    2. Now that I have this replicated, I’m VERY glad to use it as my template for a few other sites.
    3. This (type of) tutorial DOES inspire and I’m feeling it.

    Great stuff DIVInians.

  5. Hi, folks
    I officially reported this issue but I would like to share with the people.

    description: when I set the background color of the main header (in customizer) to some transparency like rgba(255,255,255,0) or rgba(255,255,255,0.6), the main header of the website on CUSTOM POST TYPE “project” (the default one) breaks the header inserted from a module like Full Width Header, for example. It ignores the padding-top and padding-bottom of the section.

    My header format is set to CENTERED.

    This header has a image that covers all the area
    This happened on a another wordpress installation with Divi.

    I hope the bug is fixed as soon as possible.

    thank you all!

  6. Thank you so much. This type of “How To” post is very, very helpful to me. I appreciate this very much. Thank you.

    Chris

  7. Hi, folks

    I already reported this bug but I will comment here because this is VERY important and is breaking a client’s design.

    It is about DIVI: when I set the background color of the main header (in customizer) to some transparency like rgba(255,255,255,0) or rgba(255,255,255,0.6), the main header of the website on CUSTOM POST TYPE “project” (the default one) breaks the header inserted from a module like Full Width Header, for example. It ignores the padding-top and padding-bottom of the section.

    My header format is set to CENTERED.

    This header has a image that covers all the area

    This also happened on another WordPress installation with Divi.
    I’am waiting for the update.

    Thank you!
