The overall theme is really nice, but they have a terrible system for customizing the core colors of the overall theme. Rather than have primary background colors and border colors be a setting, they must be manually adjusted using CSS. I am still working on customizing my site, but this is an early red flag that came up when I contacted support about it.

If any questions come up, the support team responds quickly and is always incredibly helpful. They make sure everything is resolved and really help 100%.
