I’ve been using the Graceful theme on a local machine to test it, and the many child themes that come with it. I can honestly say, this is one of the neatest looking themes I’ve ever seen. It’s worth paying for the pro versions of these themes, simply because the pro version opens up a whole load of extra options.
For experimenting, you will need the basic Graceful Theme installed in order for the child themes to work. However, if you decide to upgrade, the theme you pick will have the basic theme installed within the child theme.
There is something about Classic WordPress themes that beat the block themes by a long chalk. That being, they don’t look as “Bootstrappy” as the block themes.
Also, communications with Aslam were excellent, even over the Christmas Holiday period. I had a few minor itches, such as getting the widgets to display properly, and I was able to convert my main website to the Pro version, in less than an hour. A big thumbs up to Aslam and his team.
Customer service is just as good as their themes.
Thanks for the great theme ♥
I have recently started using the Graceful Theme by Optima Themes, and it’s blown me away!
It’s a brilliant theme to play about with and customise, without a lot of the guff that can make website design frankly boring.
On top of that, Optima Themes are very helpful at answering questions about the theme you might have in a timely manner. Everything you want in a product.
The theme is simple and elegant. Support is very professional!
