Customer feedback

Totally loving this theme. It’s a dream to build with. One of the best I’ve used.

Awesome theme, super support HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone looking to purchase a theme.

I just purchased this theme a couple of days ago and in less than 1 day I had my site up and running with no glitches at all, plus I also noticed how fast it loads compared to other themes i have tried. I am a part time amature photographer and have decided to put some of my work online and I have to say this theme made it very easy and the result is very impressive. So thank you! and for anyone considering purchasing this template it is well worth the $40 indeed, and I can highly reccommend it for any portfolio website.

I have just finished setting up my new website, and I would like to thank ThemeCatcher for creating “Storm”, the most beautiful, professional-looking, easy-to-set-up WordPress theme I have ever used! I have been a ThemeForest member for almost 4 years, and have tried at least 5 designer themes on my photography website during this time. All of them were very nice, yet, for many reasons, not exactly what I was looking for. Sometimes they were aesthetically cool, but lacking flexibility and customizability. Other times they were very professional-looking, but too plain for visitors to enjoy. With ThemeCatcher’s “Storm” I believe I have found perfection: an extremely beautiful theme, with lots of cool features, well-coded, fully documented, and with the most amazing support I have ever experienced! Not that I have needed it much for using the theme’s main features, as with the custom control panel the set-up is incredibly easy, but I have thought of some nice ways to customize the theme to suit my needs, and the author was so kind to help me implement these features. This has been much appreciated, especially as I’m aware that ThemeForest authors are not obliged to provide support. Being experienced with html/css, I have also been able to change the theme’s files without much effort – the code is extremely well written and commented, so those who are not newbies will enjoy it, too. Once again, my deepest thanks to ThemeCatcher for having designed and coded the photography WP Theme I have always dreamed of!
