Empire

After custom developing my last web site, I was skeptical of a complete solution for $180. It turns out my fear was completely unfounded! The Empire theme is extremely powerful. It allowed me to build a state-of-the-art site in just weeks! Best of all, I made no compromises. Anytime something wasn't pixel perfect, Pixel Union staff found a solution. I'm amazed! BTW - documentation is excellent.

Avoid for now. The theme blocks on the home page don't scale properly for mobile, so you end up with a home page that's off-putting and nearly unusable for mobile users. You can actually see the problem in the demo image above, which I wish I'd noticed before buying. The text is clipped off and the buttons are invisible on mobile.

Not worth 180 USD in my opinion. I Wish I had chosen another theme to start with. For this money I would expect a much more flexible theme. But all you get a re a few bulding blocks that are not adjustable. Eg. Mosaic blocks can not be adjusted in size, pictures uploaded can not be scaled and moved etc ... only one tutorial available on youtube. Check out non shopify options!

I have always used free themes in the past. I always assumed I was alloted free design time regardless of the theme. I purchased this theme because it allows group filters which is a god send. When Shopify told me free design time only applied to free themes I knew I was in trouble. I couldn't have been more wrong. They have helped me so much. Much appreciated!
