I just wanted to write a brief little testimonial because I am just so blow away by the support these guys provide (I believe there’s two of them). They literally reply to any small issue you might be having within 12 hours or less and they have a magical solution for you always. The theme itself is gorgeous and packfull of features and it’s very carefully crafted with great attention to detail. If you are thinking about buying it but aren’t sure if you should… do yourself a favor and buy this.
