I'm very happy with the StartUp theme; even the defaults do pretty much everything I need, and the theme has provided me with a fairly easy and intuitive way to learn how to use Shopify as well. So far, the theme has been stable and performant. I have also recently experienced excellent customer support from Pixel Union; my issue was resolved promptly and follow-up questions addressed in detail.

Generally speaking it's a cute theme. However, I wish there is a sliding effect for the announcement and more lines to write. Moreover, there should be also left and right clickable arrow for every series, while there is only "view more" or <4 items can be displayed. For collection list, I wish there can be as many as we want instead of only 3.

Very Disappointing Experience After Payment After making the payment, I am unable to edit or access the main CSS file of the theme. This is extremely disappointing and not acceptable for a paid theme. As a buyer, full access to theme files—especially CSS—is expected. Restricting such basic customization makes the theme unusable for professional work and creates a very poor experience.

We installed this theme a few years back, and we've been really happy with it. It looks great, and whenever we've had a question, the folks at Pixel Union were able to answer quickly. We just downloaded an updated version of the theme, and we're really excited to migrate over to it!

I love this theme for my clothing brand. It offers so many great features and the tech support is fantastic. (Hat tip to Corey!) I highly recommend!
