Building an e-commerce website can seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and guidance, it becomes much more manageable. This guide walks you through the process of creating a professional, fully functional online store using Divi, one of the most powerful WordPress themes. Whether you’re starting from scratch or enhancing an existing site, following these step-by-step instructions will help you set up an e-commerce platform that is visually appealing, easy to navigate, and equipped to handle everything from product listings to customer checkout.
We begin with the fundamentals—choosing a domain name and selecting a hosting provider to ensure your website is well-supported. Then, we dive into installing WordPress and Divi, setting the foundation for a customizable and user-friendly website. From there, you’ll learn how to create essential pages such as Home, Product, About Us, and Contact Us, and how to build and organize your navigation menus to offer a seamless experience for your visitors.
By the end of this guide, you’ll have a robust e-commerce website that combines the flexibility of WordPress, the design power of Divi, and the functionality of WooCommerce, all designed to help you launch and manage a successful online business.
What Are Hosting and Domain?
Web hosting and domain names serve distinct but equally crucial roles in creating a website. Web hosting is a service that provides online storage for your website’s data and ensures the security of that data. It allows your website to be accessible on the internet. On the other hand, a domain name acts as your website’s digital address, making it easy for users to find and access your site. While hosting stores and protects your site’s content, the domain name provides a user-friendly way to locate it online.

Creating Pages for Your E-commerce Website
After completing the process of purchasing web hosting and installing WordPress and the Divi theme, it’s time to create the essential pages for your e-commerce website. Start by opening your WordPress dashboard. To begin, navigate to the “Pages” section and click on “Add New Page.”
First, give your new page a title, such as “Home,” as shown in the screenshot below. Once you’ve titled the page, click on “Publish” to make it live. Repeat this process to create additional pages, like “Product,” “About Us,” “Contact Us,” or any other pages your site requires. Remember, each page must be published to be officially created and visible on your website. Once all your pages are published, they will be ready to display in your site’s menu.

- Access the Theme Builder: Start by clicking on Divi in your WordPress dashboard, then select Theme Builder. This will take you to Divi’s Builder Dashboard Interface.
- Choose the Global Header Option: Once you’re in the Theme Builder, locate the Global Header option. There are two choices here:

Building a Custom Ecommerce Header: Step by Step
Now that you’re ready to build a custom header for your ecommerce site, follow these steps. Start by clicking on the plus button icon. You’ll be presented with various Rows and Columns options; choose a row with one column, as shown in the image. Once you select the row, the Insert Module option will automatically appear. In the new module, search for Menu. When the menu module appears, click on it to add it to your header.
Initially, your menu will display in a basic black and white format. Don’t worry—this is just the starting point. We’ll guide you through the necessary customizations, such as adjusting the background color, padding, and adding a logo, to make your header look polished and professional. If you prefer to use a pre-made header layout and can’t find one in the Divi Library, consider checking out our recommended resource: 20 Unique Divi Header and Footer Layout Design Packs in 2024. Remember, although Divi offers a wide range of pre-made page designs, free header and footer layouts aren’t included.
Adding Background Colors for a Stunning Ecommerce Header
Now it’s time to enhance your ecommerce website’s header by adding background colors for a more visually appealing design. Start by clicking on the Blue Color settings icon, which controls the overall header settings. Next, navigate to the Content tab and scroll down to find the Background option. Click on it, and you’ll see the background color options, as illustrated in the image below. Choose a color that complements your website’s design; we’ve selected a color as shown, and you can follow along to achieve similar results.
After completing these steps, you might notice that the menu color now clashes with the background color of the header. Don’t worry, we’ve got that covered. Click on the Black Color settings button, as indicated in the image below. Once again, navigate to the Content section, scroll down, and select Background. This time, set the background color to transparent as shown in the example image. Your final result will be a beautifully coordinated header that truly stands out.

Customizing Menu Text for Your Ecommerce Website Header
In this step, we will customize the Menu Text color, font style, font weight, and font style to align with your ecommerce website’s design. Begin by hovering your mouse over the menu, where a menu settings option will appear in a black box. Click on the settings icon, just as you did in the previous step. Then, navigate to the Design tab, scroll down, and find the Menu Text section.
Here’s how to proceed:
- Active Text Color: Choose a color that matches your website’s design. The active link color refers to the color that will be applied to a page name or link when selected.
- Menu Font: Select your preferred font style to enhance the menu’s appearance.
- Menu Font Weight: Adjust the font weight to control how bold you want your menu text to be.
- Menu Font Style: This option allows you to apply styles such as italic, underline, or other text decorations.
- Menu Text Color: Choose a text color that contrasts well with your header background. For example, if your header background is blue, a white text color will provide a clean and striking look.
- Menu Text Size: Finally, adjust the text size to your preference, ensuring it’s readable and fits well within the design.
Once you have customized all these settings, click the save button to preserve your work.

Adjusting Padding and Margin for a Perfect Header
In the final step, we’ll address the padding and margin settings to refine the appearance of your ecommerce website’s header. One issue we encountered was that the header height was slightly more than needed, which affected the overall look. This was due to default padding settings. If you’re facing the same issue, follow these steps:
- Access Header Settings: Click on the blue settings icon that controls the entire header layout.
- Navigate to Spacing: Go to the Design tab and scroll down to find the Spacing option. Click on it to reveal the Margin and Padding settings.
- Adjust Margin: The margin setting is typically used to shift your module slightly, often for 3D effects or other design purposes. However, in this case, you don’t need to change it. Keep the margin set to zero.
- Adjust Padding: The main focus here is on padding. Set the top and bottom padding to zero. This will reduce the header size by removing the default padding. Once it’s set to zero, you can adjust the padding further if needed to achieve your desired header height.
After completing these adjustments, your menu will be 100% ready. Congratulations on successfully finishing the first step of your ecommerce website! If you’re looking for more beautiful premade header designs, you can check out the Divi Headers with Slide-in Design Layout Pack for inspiration.
Adding a Premade Layout to Your Homepage
In this step, we’ll simplify the process by adding a premade layout to your homepage. Since creating a page from scratch would be too lengthy to cover in one blog post, we’ll opt for a premade layout instead. Without further delay, let’s get started!
- Navigate to Pages: First, click on Pages in your WordPress dashboard, then select All Pages.
- Select the Homepage: Choose the page you’ve designated as your homepage. In our case, we already created a “Home” page. Hover your mouse over the homepage title, and you’ll see the Edit option. Click on it.
- Build on the Front End: Once you’re in the page editor, click on Build on the Front End, as shown in the image below. This will take you to a new interface, which we will discuss in the next step.
This approach makes the process quicker and easier, allowing you to focus on customizing the design.
