The Basics
We have teamed up with Elegant Themes - DIVI to provide the best Website Builder for your taxPRO website. It comes in two forms: The standard “Back-end Builder” and the front-end “Visual Builder.” Both interfaces allow you to build exactly the same types of websites with the same content elements and design settings. The only difference is the interface. The Back-end Builder lives inside of the WordPress Dashboard and it can be accessed along with all of the other standard WordPress settings. If you are familiar with WordPress, this may be a more efficient way for you to edit your site. The visual mode, allows you to build your page on the front of your website.
This tutorial will mainly focus on the visual builder.

Enabling The Visual Builder
The Visual Builder Basics
The builder uses three main building blocks: Sections (#1 in BLUE), Rows (#2 in GREEN) and Modules (#3 in DARK GRAY). Using these in unison allows you to create a countless array of page layouts. Sections are the largest building blocks, and they house groups of rows. Rows sit inside of sections. Modules are placed inside of rows. This is the structure of every taxPRO website.
Modules will be what you will use the most. (#4). These are opened by clicking the GEAR icon. Text, Headings, images and buttons are just a few modules. (NOTE: All items use the gear to open that items editor. Sections, Rows and Modules use the GEAR symbol)
Once you complete your edits, you will use the System tool (#5, PURPLE icon) to save your edits, When clicked, this opens to display the SAVE as well as other features.
IMPORTANT: The builder has built in ? HELP with videos for every single feature. Try this out as you are editing to see what tools are available for you.
