What customers said
Saurabh has killed it with this theme. A lot of designers promise you a theme which is flexible but I’ve NEVER found a theme as flexible as this one. And I’m not even speaking about the service Saurabh offers. Top notch!
- jimmycataldo
Saurabh is a star. This high-quality theme is easy to use and customize. His customer service is quick and consistently awesome. The theme is fast, responsive, and gorgeous.

- lalorgnette
This is my favorite theme--ever. The support is fantastic, the documentation is helpful and the theme is very flexible. Highly recommended!
- tadpubco
I’ve bought lots of WP themes and this is by far the best in terms of support and documentation. The documentation in the themes admin panel is really helpful and I’ve received superb support for my questions so far. I’ll be sticking with Saurabh Sharma from now on.
- trocity (Gavin)
Saurabh’s themes are great, but his customer service is absolutely outstanding. He has been able to solve with a few lines of code any problem we had. With his help we were able to modify the original design to adapt and fulfill our needs. As an SEO agency, we have bought dozens of themes on ThemeForest, but Saurabh’s service is second to none.
- Romuald Fons
I have bought more than 70 themes and plugins on Envatos pages and have been disappointed with the support and constraints in several themes. NewsPlus does not belong to that category. I Would really recommend NewsPlus and Saurabh Sharma’s work and absolutely superb support.
