Migrate to Bricks from Divi
Divi to Bricks migration without shortcode fallout
A staging-first Bricks rebuild for agencies and studios: shortcodes, Theme Builder layouts, global presets, redirects, and client-facing continuity are handled under your brand.

The problem
Divi is fast to build - impossible to leave
Divi's shortcode model is the deepest lock-in in the WordPress page-builder world. Disabling Divi doesn't release your content - it strands it.
- Shortcode dependency Your content is stored as Divi shortcodes. Deactivate the plugin and your pages display raw `[et_pb_text]` strings.+ lock-in
- Theme Builder ceiling Divi Theme Builder is powerful until you need real conditional logic. Then you're patching with custom CSS and PHP hooks.+ workaround
- Slow visual builder The frontend builder lags on long pages, and every save round-trips the entire shortcode payload.− velocity
- JS-heavy modules, failing LCP Divi loads its own jQuery stack plus per-module JS. Mobile LCP sits well above the rewarded threshold.+ audit risk
Agency-safe workflow
Agency-safe migration protocol
Your agency stays front-and-center. We rebuild Divi sites in Bricks behind your brand, isolate shortcode risk on staging, document migration decisions, and hand back QA notes for a controlled launch.
Agency owns the relationship
Your team stays front-and-center for client updates, approvals, and final presentation. We support the technical rebuild behind the scenes.
Staging-first rebuild
Migration work happens away from the live client site first, with review points before launch-sensitive changes move forward.
Technical calls stay controlled
If a client technical call is useful, it happens only with your approval and with your agency present.
Launch handoff included
You receive QA notes, migration decisions, redirect guidance, and builder-specific risk notes for internal review or client-safe delivery.
Deliverables
What you get
A full rebuild in Bricks that matches your Divi design - with content that survives the day you remove Divi.
Process proof
What your handoff includes
No fake performance delta or client-name proof. You receive the practical migration artifacts that make a Divi rebuild reviewable before launch.
Shortcode cleanup trail
Divi shortcode-heavy content is identified, extracted, and rebuilt in native Bricks structure with cleanup decisions documented.
Theme Builder mapping
Headers, footers, templates, archives, and conditional layout areas are mapped before the Bricks version becomes the source of truth.
Module replacement notes
Divi modules, third-party add-ons, galleries, accordions, forms, and specialty layouts are replaced or flagged with clear rationale.
Global preset review
Presets, global colors, typography, button styles, spacing habits, and responsive rules are reviewed before Bricks classes are assigned.
Layout parity checks
Key breakpoints, reusable sections, client-facing pages, and conversion paths get visual QA notes against the staged Bricks rebuild.
Redirect and SEO checklist
Metadata, headings, internal links, redirect needs, schema-bearing content, and indexable copy are carried into the launch checklist.
Built to be reused by your agency. This is process proof, not a result claim. It shows how the migration is controlled before any client-facing launch.
Execution quality
Execution quality you can show internally
A quick look at the kind of structured Bricks work, component thinking, and visual polish your agency can expect during handoff.
Staging review artifact
Review
Staging review
The agency reviews the build before handoff. Fixes happen in the agreed review window, not through vague back-and-forth after launch.
Staging before handoff
No vague back-and-forth after launch.
Structure handoff

Process
Six steps, from audit to clean launch
- 01
Day 1–2 - Audit Divi site audit
Templates, modules, Divi Cloud content, and shortcode coverage fully inventoried.
- 02
Day 2–4 - Extract Shortcode extraction
Every shortcode parsed; inner content preserved; semantic HTML built from the structure.
- 03
Day 4–7 - Rebuild Bricks rebuild on staging
The design rebuilt in Bricks, matched against the live Divi site.
- 04
Day 6–8 - Templates Theme Builder port
Header, footer, archive, single & dynamic templates rebuilt as Bricks templates.
- 05
Day 8–9 - SEO SEO & redirect check
Metadata verified, redirect map applied, parity checked against the old site.
- 06
Day 9–11 - Launch Launch & Divi cleanup
Go live with rollback ready; Divi and its modules removed cleanly.
Why us
Shortcode extraction, done methodically
The technical case
- Shortcodes parsed, not stripped. Each `[et_pb_*]` is walked, its content preserved, and clean semantic HTML built - the inner copy and structure survive intact.
- Theme Builder mapped, not faked. Display conditions, dynamic data, and template assignments are mirrored in Bricks templates - not patched with conditional CSS.
- Modules rebuilt natively. Forms, sliders, blogs, and Theme Builder layouts become Bricks elements - never re-faked with another plugin.
- Performance checks before launch. You get notes on heavy assets, LCP risks, and cleanup decisions so the handoff is reviewable.
How modules map
# Divi module -> Bricks native
et_pb_section → Section
et_pb_row → Container
et_pb_blog → Query Loop
et_pb_contact_form → Bricks Form
et_pb_slider → Bricks Slider
Theme Builder tmpl → Bricks template
# shortcodes parsed, content preservedNothing in your content depends on Divi after the move. When Divi is removed, your posts and pages stay readable HTML.
Comparison
Stay on Divi vs. migrate to Bricks
A straight technical comparison - measured, not marketing.
| Stay on Divi | Migrate to Bricks | |
|---|---|---|
| Content portability | Locked in `[et_pb_*]` shortcodes | Clean HTML stored in post content |
| Page weight | Heavy - jQuery + per-module JS | Lean, mostly under 200KB |
| LCP | Frequently above 3s on mobile | Tuned under 2.5s at handover |
| Editor speed | Lags on long pages, slow saves | Fast, lightweight editor |
| Theme Builder logic | Capped - needs CSS / PHP patches | Conditional templates as a first-class feature |
| SEO impact | Builder weight adds SEO risk | SEO checks and redirects documented |
| If you disable the builder | Content displays as raw shortcodes | Content displays as plain HTML |
FAQ
Divi migration questions
Every Divi shortcode in your content is parsed, the inner content extracted, and rebuilt as clean Bricks markup. When Divi is removed, your posts and pages remain readable HTML - not naked shortcode garbage.
Yes. Theme Builder templates - header, footer, archive, single, 404 - are rebuilt as Bricks templates with the same display conditions and dynamic data.
Saved layouts, sections, and global modules in Divi Cloud are migrated as Bricks templates or global elements, so the same building blocks are available to your team after the move.
No. Functional code from the child theme (functions.php hooks, custom PHP, custom templates) is ported into a Bricks-friendly child theme. Divi-only template overrides are rebuilt natively in Bricks.
Yes. URLs and site structure are preserved, metadata is migrated, and a 301 redirect map covers any changes. We also review SEO-critical content, headings, internal links, and launch QA items before handoff.
Active Divi Leads split tests are documented with their winners before the migration, so the winning variants live on in the new build. Bricks does not include native split testing - if you rely on it, we recommend a dedicated A/B testing plugin.
No - that defeats the point. Leaving Divi active means shortcode rendering, asset bloat, and conflicting Theme Builder rules. The migration is a clean handover; Divi is removed once you sign off on staging.

No direct client communication by default. Your agency stays front-and-center. If a technical call is useful, it happens only with your approval and with your agency present.
Yes. The migration can run behind your agency brand with staging review, agency-safe handoff notes, and no BricksGenius branding in the client workflow.
We check SEO-critical content, metadata, heading structure, internal links, redirect requirements, and launch QA items. For larger migrations, a redirect map and staged review happen before launch.
A staged Bricks build, QA notes, migration decisions, builder-specific risk notes, and launch guidance your agency can use internally or adapt for the client.
