DO NOT BUY!!! We have had the worst experience with this theme as well as their customer service! Please be aware that even though you are buying this theme on Shopify you will not get any Shopify support or over the phone support whatsoever! Also EVERY SHOPIFY CUSTOMER GETS 1 HOUR FREE DESIGN TIME THESE GUYS REFER YOU TO THIRD PARTY COMPANY FOR $65 PER HOUR for every thing!

Five-star support, even before I launched the site the support staff was answering my questions and helping me get the most out of the theme. Great theme and customer service! I'm very impressed with the amount of features and customization this theme allows, and with the general styling. It's really built for the ease of the end-user. Looks great on mobile too.

I've been long thinking about which theme to take. Went through many dozens and compared to each other. Somehow I always returned to Empire Theme. I'm so glad I listened to my instincts. A fantastic theme, with a great support. Highly recommended!
