Nice & Flexible
by yeoric·5 years ago

Quite flexible theme, worked very well for me in migrating “classic” sites to WP. Support was good and fast when I needed it.

Perfect
by Scribelle·5 years ago

A nice theme, easy, modern, simple. And a good support if needed. What else?

Just what I needed
by pjmorgan63301·5 years ago

Was looking for a good theme I could use for my first website using wordpress. Overlay was wanted I was looking for. Our Stamp Club will now have a modern webpage with a good look, feel and functionality.

Nice, Simple Theme
by amsiourav·6 years ago

Nice simple theme with all the control you need to customize your website. I liked the minimalist use of mandatory plugins and formatting options. I recommend this theme since you can customize your website and you can make your website look different than others.
