And more to become

Used a lot of themes, this one so far so best - options, design, everything. Only downside is very simple documentation, basically a never found solution to my problem in documentation.
Still 5/5 for me. Good job.

@kodkodak

for Design Quality

I've been searched for a long time for a suitable framework because that's what you can call this Theme, and my choice fell on the above that one. I'm 100% satisfied after a month of implementation, on top of that VERY helpful support.
As something between us only, but I would pay and 10x for so much in the package. Very well spent every $ dollar.

@iTomek

for Other

Awesome theme and absolutely top-notch support! One of the best I have experienced!

@chalkfacepros

for Customer Support

I am using this theme on two different websites already and aside from the great design, which can be easily customized, it just works great with pretty much no issues. And if there is a problem, the team is always helpful when asking questions via comments or support.

@KodiakBaer

for Code Quality

Definitely buying again. The theme and support are excellent.

@aironj25

for Customer Support

The template itself is well-designed and user-friendly. What stands out even more is the excellent customer support they provide. They have been responsive and helpful whenever I have had questions or needed assistance. It's been a great experience overall!

@ccw17

for Customer Support

I have purchased many other themes that claim 90+ page speed, but after I have designed the website, and added all possible optimizations, very few actually achieve similar speed. Ohio theme is one of those that achieved 90+ speed after all needed changes. Easy customization, many good options and features, highly recommended.

@atmomin2003

for Code Quality

Fine and modern theme.
Also I'm giving a five star rating for the excellent customer support. They're always there for you.

@lsoto8

for Design Quality

Quite apart from the fact that the theme is mega great, I would also like to thank the support. Everything is answered very quickly and the help is technically flawless. Thanks!

@michak
