This will always be the best WordPress theme, ever.

by squelfland·10 months ago

I rarely write any reviews. I wanted to express somewhere how much joy using this theme has brought me over many years. I wish I could support its continued development monetarily in some way. It is so versatile, clean and wonderful. Thank you so much to the creators.

The best wordpress theme

Since 2014, it’s my favorite theme.

I hope it will always be kept up to date.

I still don’t always have an equivalent magazine-type theme.

Very long term support

My spouse has been using this theme for eight years now and it is still maintained and updated! Features are limited but totally appropriate and since content is king, there’s no need to change. Wow! Thank you guys for this great commitment. We appreciate a lot! 🙂

Not too hot, not too cold, just right!

After a few days of discussion as to what theme fits our requirement for a web site (non-profit organisation), we found this theme used elsewhere and decided to adopt it for or web site. It turned out to be the right decision. Functionally its great. We are not looking for anything jazzy; ambient will do for us! Keep up the great work, and thanks.
