The Monstroid WP theme is simply awesome. It’s broad range functionality (e.g., multiple layouts, animation, parallax, etc) permits one to create some beautiful and engaging websites. Love to use it in an upcoming project.
Monstroid WP looks like a particularly robust theme. I looked at several of the child themes as well as the parent template. I’m working on updating the website for my freelance design business and this looks like it would handle the job nicely – in any form.
Wow! Monstroid WP options seem endless. With the SEO power and swift support I could definitely use themes like Gitex (Bootstrap WP) and other layouts as part of my up and coming portfolio. The themes are sharp, engaging, and user friendly, making is easier to meet customers’ needs.
