awesome clean and high performing wordpress theme

I previously used the Salient theme which had an average performance. Since I use the awesome Polestar theme developed by Puro, I even gained 100% in all of Google’s core web vitals! The theme is easy to use and to modify and even comes with a child theme which does not require fancy coding.

Awesome theme

Great, modern theme and great customer support.

I’ve been using the Polestar theme for almost a year. It’s a great companion to the SiteOrigin page builder and widgets bundle. The theme has good configurability and a nice, modern look. It really like the flexibility and I really feel like with the combo of SO Page Builder and Polestar, I could do just about anything I’d want to do. This theme deserves a good look from anyone who is a fan of Site Origin’s page builder.

I have upgraded to the paid version and support from Andrew is stellar! He’s responded in a timely manner and with great detail. I started about a year ago brand new to WordPress. Andrew’s support has helped me along the way. Great work and I appreciate the excellent support.

Thank you, Andrew!
