Great and easy to use

by embakasi·2 years ago

I followed the installation instructions and it was very easy to use. I am slowly replacing the demo data with my own info.

POOR FUNTIONALALITY, TERRIBLE SUPPORT!!!

When a page is filled only with 5 star ratings and glowing reviews you must know something is up. There are a lot of important features missing from this theme. DO NOT TRY AT ANY COST, you will be sorry!!!
