Great Customer Service

by enormesoundsdmv·Today

I had an issue that I spent two days trying to solve. I finally reached out to customer service and through a few emails they were able to fix my issue and even sent me the CSS code for future reference. They are very responsive and put clear instructions on how to access menus and perform actions.

Highly Customizable, Great Theme To Start With

Amazing customer support and intuitive theme

by rainbowlada·3 days ago·1 reply

I’ve been using Astra Pro with Elementor to set up an e-commerce shop, and it’s been a great experience. Astra has really nice and intuitive global customization settings that work well with Elementor and WooCommerce. I’m most impressed by how well Astra handles responsive design, changing the layouts when the screen changes size. I had some conflicts with some plugins, and the Astra support team is very responsive.
