 * Pretty much everything useful in this theme is behind a paywall, and the premium
   version is overpriced for what it does – would not recommend.
 * If all you want is a simple, fairly non-customisable agency template with some
   reasonable features, this is fine. The theme loads well, is lightweight, and 
   looks okay, though the design is visually quite clunky with odd typography choices
   and – due to the paywall – you’re stuck with it. There are some nice touches 
   in animations, but nothing groundbreaking, though the ability to import demo 
   data will be useful for those who struggle designing from the ground up, and 
   I do love that the theme avoids the use of WPBakery style plugins. Overall, fine,
   but not worth using as a free theme.
