Customer Service is very responsive

They guided me through some issues applying the pro plugin to the ‘free news’ theme. The person helping me, via email, was polite, knowledgeable, and really worked hard to help me out. I would recommend the company ‘Themespiral.com’. A great company that will help you if needed.

Great theme!
