As we come to the end of the decade, 2019 has truly been a year to remember for us at Divi Engine. 

We truly appreciate all of you and so thankful for all our new customers. We thought it would be good to look back at the major things that happened over the year. 

Forum website

In February we launched our forum website, the idea is for general support, chat and feature requests. Our main form of support is emailing su*****@********ne.com or filling out our form, but the forum has definitely helped in building up the community.

Better support, switched from tickets to email

We made a big change in how we offer support. We removed the sluggish way of using a ticket portal. It just took too long to log into the website and write a response and then log in again to answer. We changed to using email. It is much more personal and effective as we offer what we think is brilliant support from this.

Better documentation website 

In March we re-did all our documentation. We changed platforms to make it easier to update and keep on top of the fast updates we provide. We feel this has been a success.

Started to give money to the Sozo Foundation for every purchase 

In April we started our giving scheme. When you make a purchase at Divi Engine, we will give a gift on your behalf to the Sozo Foundation! You can read more about it here: https://diviengine.com/every-purchase-we-give-a-gift-to-the-sozo-foundation/

• 1115 hours of tutoring for school children
• 200 sessions of a 10-week skills course for a school child
• 269 school lunches
• Internet access for 228 school children for project research
• 196 training sessions for a student to be a baker
• 68 Educentre sessions for a school child (http://thesozofoundation.org.za/educentre/)

Added lifetime licenses for all plugins 

We had many customers asking for lifetime licenses for our plugins. We have this option on all our plugins now. Some you can still have annual, but if you are an agency and do not want recurring payments, you can order a lifetime license.

New plugin, Divi Mobile

We launched our newest plugin, Divi Mobile towards the end of the year. It is one of my favourite as is simple and makes the mobile site so much nicer.
