Testimonials
What a great theme and the service is probably the best I have ever witnessed in relation to programmers. This theme and it’s developers get a five star rating. – Harpak
This theme is a joy to work with! It was designed with great features and comfortable learning curve. If you like the looks, don’t hesitate--just get it. It is easy to customize but many will do just fine with one of the pre-defined color schemes and/or templates. And the author gives better support than any I’ve dealt with so far – really amazing. Don’t worry about it, just get it. You will enjoy this theme. – david_rahrer
