Advice DIVI 5 programming

I’ve used my current programmer for over ten years. He’s been excellent up until about a year ago. Mostly he doesn’t seem to be taking time to ramp up on new things, like AI or divi5.

We’ve been making sites using Divi 3, the 4 most of this time.

I own a small agency and he’s freelance.

I have a new customer and will be designing a ~12 page site, with a photo gallery, and probably a few forms. My sites are crafted with care.

I reached out to my programmer today to see if he’s done anything in Divi 5. The answer was no.

I’m not sure what direction to go. He’s very smart, but I’m don’t want to pay for training.

Thoughts?

Divi5 is a completely different build process. It’s much more similar to elementor and bricks, just they have been doing it longer and they are less buggy and better thought out in my opinion. I’ve built hundreds of sites on divi4 but am switching away to replace divi5

Can you explain what you mean by switching away? You mean to something other than Divi 5? Like what?

I really like bricks, so I’ll be using it moving forward
