Recommendations from Buyers

  "Aloha Siiimple! I wanted to let you know that I love this template!!! - I cannot imagine any reason that you could rate this template anything less than a perfect 5 stars!!! - I have been working as a web designer (not a programmer) since 2005, and Wordpress since 2.6. Simply put – Kundera is the ONLY template I have ever had ZERO problems! It works exactly as it is supposed to!!! Bravo! - I have installed about 50 wordpress sites – this was the BEST experience of all. - The functionality is excellent and straight forward! Many templates have really bad layouts in the backend. Everything about this template is easy to operate. I will be able to turn it over to my client after showing him how to operate it once, he will “get it”. - Lastly, you did an impeccable job with the CSS !!!!! The format in which you layed the css out is so easy to find and make edits MAHALO !!!!! You are the only programmer I have bookmarked/following – I absolutely will buy from you again."

  "I just bought this theme yesterday(Siiimple). I think of all the ones I evaluated, and there were many(this one was the best). I also approached the Author with questions etc and he was fantastic. He was responsive and took care of my questions right away. To get a great theme and have my questions answered so promptly was great. I would definitely work with this theme author again."

  "We purchased the theme yesterday, and as a seasoned ThemeForester I have a couple of things to say before I ask my question. (Tried Twitter, just covering my bases). First This is, by far and away, the cleanest, most well organized simple to setup theme I have EVER purchased from Theme Forest, and I have purchased about 40+ over the years for various clients. I literally had it functioning like the demo in a matter of a few hours of READING THE DOCS , and testing a few things out. Simply brilliant, bro. Next. the documentation is immaculate and simple. I love that you put it in HTML format instead of PDF , as PDF can be kind of a hassle. The layout of that document is near perfect in it’s simplicity. Anyone thinking of purchasing, the documentation has a menu on the left with ALL of the features available, and the content is veied in a right pane, kind of like a single page layout website. Gorgeous and easy to follow. You (and your team?) may be one of the best designers on Theme Forest. Lots of gorgeous themes here, but many of the highly functional themes come with massive headaches attached. This one has been a delight! Have I said enough good about this theme yet? I can’t."
