This is my 4th website in Shopif. Now I bought the Empire theme. Fantastic. The theme is full of incredible features. I feel like a hero myself. (Claire, Hiro :) Try it once. Do not look for another exit.

We have multiple well-established stores and have recently migrated two to the Empire theme. Implementation was straightforward and the response from Robert in support to the minor glitches that came up was both quick and thoughtful. Feedback thus far from customers and staff has been very positive. Plans to migrate a third store to this theme soon.

I bought the Empire theme over a week a ago and it is very easy to customize and looks fantastic. I bought this theme because of the mega menu and I liked the quick links to products.. I wanted to install trust seals and I contacted support to ask how I could do this. Kate got back to me and tried different areas until I was happy. Nothing was too much trouble. Thanks Kate for all the support. :)

Kate has been so helpful. I am not Tech Savvy at ALL! So when I downloaded this theme I was automatically worried I wouldn't know how to use it. They helped me step by step create my store EXACTLY the way I wanted it. I plan to use Kate and the Pixel Union Team for a long time :)
