Better than many paid themes

by kaychin·1 month ago·1 reply

I have at least two paid themes and used one of them extensively for more than 15 years. I am happy to say that the Ocean WP theme is way better than those paid ones. Yes, I am seriously considering to upgrade to the paid version. I just need a bit more time to get used to Ocean WP before I decide. Thanks.

Easy to use, packed with features

by kyangy·1 month ago·1 reply

I’m setting up my first website and looked into a few themes, but OceanWP was the one I found easiest from the get go. It’s pretty straightforward and I can customize almost everything without coding (the few features I did need I used Gemini and it worked well).
The plugin bundle you get with purchasing the theme is also pretty useful, it adds quite a few features without needing outside tools.

Nice, works
