Why You Should Sign Up With Elegant Themes
Why I am Writing This Review
I don’t normally purchase themes or theme services, mainly because I can build them on my own. I build custom themes and customize themes base on frameworks all the time. Recently though, I had the pleasure of winning a free 1 year subscription to Elegant themes. I was skeptical at first whether looking at their themes would be worth my time or not. After actually working with their themes and working with them, I am convinced that Elegant Themes is a valuable service.
My Personal Experience
I have been really busy lately, and have seriously neglected my portfolio site. Despite that fact, most of business lately has come from word-of-mouth. I decided to use my Elegant Themes subscription to give my site a fresh look. I chose the Nimble Theme, downloaded and began to customize the theme to my liking. I added a few personal touches, and everything went smoothly. Everything was documented thoroughly, so that you could make your site look exactly how you want. They include a pdf for each theme that tells you how to make your slider work, and how to make the custom features work, either via short codes or featured images.
The first thing I was impressed with was how fast my site loaded. Everything is optimized to be extremely fast and load quickly & efficiently. All of the features were present and everything went off without a hitch.
I Encountered a Problem
After following the directions, the slider didn’t show up on the home page. I tried and tried, and couldn’t get it to work. I went to the support area and opened a ticket to try to get the problem resolved.
Lightning Fast Response and Support
It turns out, the slider wasn’t showing up due to a plugin conflict, which support helped me to resolve. The best part about it was that the response and the resolution were both in the same day. I don’t know if you’ve ever dealt with support for other themes, plugins or software, but sometimes you’re lucky to get an answer within the week. Once I resolved the plugin conflict, the slider worked perfectly and loaded as expected. Now my site is fully redone, and I am very happy with the results.

A Few Last Thoughts…
With 78 themes, awesome support, great functionality, and lightning fast speed, one of the amazing parts about the Elegant Themes service is that it is only $39 per year. You would pay that or much more for one premium theme found elsewhere. This is an incredible price. Those other sites give no guarantee that their themes will have adequate documentation. If you want access to a ton of great themes for a reasonable price, Elegant Themes is a service you shouldn’t pass up.
