I’m responsible for a small nonprofit site I inherited with Divi 4. Now it seems time to build the next iteration of this site, and I can’t recommend Divi 5 to the organization — just not convinced it’s worth the purchase price for this site. My labor on the site is donated and I want to streamline … everything. 😉

The required site features include: event listings, registration forms with payment integration, galleries, assorted other forms, responsive menu.

Have read a bit about Divi 5, Bricks, Oxygen, others…

Looking for recommendations for the rebuild. (… even if you’re trying to talk me into Divi 5)

Edit for clarification: the license for Divi 4 (and also Gravity Forms for that matter) were from a previous developer who is in the wind. The org doesn’t have a Divi account, and I’m fairly sure this means they’ll have to purchase Divi 5…

My priorities:

Ease of utilizing custom post types and fields in a smart and not painful way

Able to utilize modern CSS (grid, flex, CSS variables) without it turning into a circus act

Reasonably easy for non-technical editors to create and edit with some instruction

Lightweight, fast, secure, maintained (the usual)
