Great theme from Pixel Union with excellent support and communication. Quick thanks to Norm at Pixel Union for responding back to our query in regards to 'Empire theme'.
I have been using Empire for nearly a year now. Very happy with the Theme. It is extremely flexible and has a lot of features. I would advise patience, as there is a lot to learn on the theme. I have used their support service a number of times, the team are responsive and have always found solutions to my requests.
