Rubbish for Theme Header Images and Footer content

by TraceVin·9 years ago

Looks great but if you want to tailor it, it becomes a nightmare. Nobody replies to support forum post to help. Don’t bother!

Easy to use but with some small problems

by Alice Rowaan·10 years ago

I like the theme a lot but it is not totally responsive; the header is not visible on smartphones if you choose to add no text in it. Otherwise everything okay and beautiful.

simple but don't chose if you go for photos

by pono nicole·10 years ago

simple theme good for blog and some photos but if you aim for showing many pictures it’s not the right one!

all in all like it – simple to update 🙂 just the background color thing is weird since with every update the color goes back to the original one!
