6. Appearance: This has several sub-menus included. The three you will covering will be:

• Customize: These are a set of top-level WordPress style and display settings that will feed through the Divi Page Builder. It will be an important start to the process of customization.

• Menus: The location of each menu situated on the website including main header, footer, local area and property page menus. Add any new pages you have created or re-arrange the order as preferred via drag-and-drop.

10. Divi: The home of the WordPress Theme Builder has two sub-setting pages you will be covering:
    

• Theme Options: The central extensive settings for the Divi – you will need this to set your main site logo and select up your default color palette for use in the builder.

• Theme Builder: The Theme Builder uses the same page builder used to construct page content. This is a template library featuring the header, footer and other page templates in the theme. You will have access to make style updates where needed.

That covers every menu you will be using as you customize your site and maintain it moving forward. Now let's start, as we visit the logical order of steps, start with the Site Divi Settings.
