Click Add From Library and select one of your Bordered Layout sections.

3. Swap The Content

Once the section is on the page, replacing the placeholder content only takes a few clicks. Start by updating the heading, body copy, buttons, links, names, descriptions, and labels so the section matches your brand and message. Then swap in your own images, portraits, featured content, icons, or supporting details as needed.

Because bordered layouts rely on clean separation, alignment, and spacing, it’s best to replace content one area at a time. This helps preserve the balance between text, imagery, borders, and negative space as you customize the design.

If you want to expand or simplify a section, duplicate or remove existing rows, columns, groups, or modules instead of rebuilding the design from scratch. That’s the easiest way to preserve the original structure, spacing, and rhythm of the layout.

4. Adjust Styles (Optional)

These bordered layouts are already styled, so you can use them right away or refine them to better match your site. Update typography, colors, borders, shadows, spacing, backgrounds, and image treatments as needed using the settings in the Design tab.

To refine the bordered styling, open the row, column, group, or module you want to adjust and use the Design tab to tweak Background, Border Width, Border Color, Border Radius, Box Shadow, Sizing, and Spacing.

If your section uses divided content blocks, outlined cards, bordered image areas, table-like rows, or asymmetrical spacing, keep those relationships in mind as you edit so the composition continues to feel intentional and balanced.

Use Divi’s responsive editing tools to fine-tune spacing, stacking, borders, and alignment on smaller screens so the layout stays polished across devices.

Tips For Effective Border Layouts

Border layouts work best when they create structure without making the design feel too rigid. Use these quick tips to keep your sections clean, modern, and easy to scan.

Use Borders To Create Clear Structure

Borders can help define sections, separate content, and guide visitors through the layout. Use them to support the hierarchy of the page rather than decorating every element equally.

Keep Spacing Consistent

Bordered layouts look best when padding and spacing feel intentional. Keep similar content areas aligned and evenly spaced so the design feels polished instead of crowded.

Balance Borders With Negative Space

Strong borders can add definition, but too many heavy lines can make a layout feel dense. Let negative space soften the design and give the content room to breathe.

Repeat Border Treatments Consistently

Consistent border widths, colors, radius values, and dividing lines help the entire section feel cohesive. Repetition is what makes a bordered layout feel intentional rather than pieced together.

Check The Layout On Mobile

Bordered sections can change noticeably on tablet and phone screens as content stacks. Review your layout on smaller devices to make sure borders still separate content clearly, images remain useful, and spacing still feels balanced.
