Very satisfied with Radiate (Free Version)

by JurekJ·5 months ago

I’ve been using the free version of the Radiate theme and couldn’t be happier with the results. After creating a child theme, adding custom functions via functions.php, and fine-tuning the design through Additional CSS, the theme truly shines.

Radiate offers a clean, modern layout with fast loading times and a well-structured codebase that makes customization straightforward. It’s responsive, visually appealing, and provides a solid foundation for anyone who wants to tailor their site to specific needs.

If you’re looking for a lightweight, flexible, and privacy-conscious theme that plays well with custom tweaks, Radiate is an excellent choice!

Great theme, still learning though

Great theme so far.

Radiate theme vind ik een gemakkelijk te bewerken thema.

by jaapbaas·1 year ago

Radiate theme vind ik een gemakkelijk te bewerken thema. Dit in tegenstelling met sommige andere thema’s. Radiate is voor mij helemaal goed voor het maken van functionele websites.

Fine!
