Even though I am using the free version of Origami (which is great), I have had fantastic and very quick support from Andrew.
Five star product with five star support. Many thanks.

Simple beauty

by ArcherTC·10 years ago·1 reply

I built a simple website using Origami theme atop WordPress for a bilingual massage therapist practice. The therapist regularly gets compliments on the look and usability of the site.

Kudos to you, designer, for a very nice theme. And thanks for making it available to the WordPress community.

Origami is Easy to Use

by Mel·10 years ago·1 reply

Origami is wonderful and easy to use. What I love most about it is that it offers all the features I need to build my website without the complicated back end like some of the other themes I have found. One of the great things about this theme is you can use the Page Builder (by Site Origin) plugin to change the look of each page. I’ll probably be upgrading to the paid theme just to grab a few extra features. Thanks!
