Meks’ Throne theme saved me thousands of dollars!

I’d tried countless themes, but could never get them to look and work the way I wanted them to. Not only does it look better than any other theme I’ve used, but more importantly – for me at least – it couldn’t have been easier to set-up and configure.

Meks themes are elegant, highly customizable, easy to set up and come with top-notch support.

After trying multiple free and paid themes, I found the Johannes theme from Meks. The theme is not only appealing but also a breeze to set up and customize. It has a lightning-fast load time and places the focus on content, which is exactly what bloggers want. Also, their support team is technically sound and extremely eager to help. I will forever purchase themes from Meks.

I stumbled upon Meks’ themes and was blown away at the flexibility, the ease of setup, and the high-quality look of their designs.

As a photographer and writer, I am very particular to how my work is displayed but ending up frustrated because I wasn’t easily able to change things to look the way I wanted when using other themes.  Now I can proudly focus on creating great content because I know my site design is solid.

With Gridlove, Meks built a beautiful theme that combines simple, clean layouts with enough options and potential for customization to allow us to make the template our own.

At MobiLoud we help WordPress site owners turn their websites into native apps, and we couldn’t be happier with how Gridlove and all other Meks themes behave on mobile devices. We recommend them to all our clients!
