Neve is classic and Neve FSE is a nice development. Lightweight, well built with good parts that work well out of the box.

Really like using Neve FSE!

I am pretty new to building a website. Started with a different theme and soon became disappointed in ease of use and flexibility. I actually asked ChatGPT a lot of questions about the best themes for my situation and Neve FSE was one of 5 possibilities. I looked at those options and decided on Neve. I have been very happy. I redid my site in the staging area and deployed it two days ago. It is working well. My team likes it too! If you are relatively new to all of this and do not need a complex commerce site, this is a good one!!
