FAQ

questions worth asking.

What does "lifetime updates" actually mean?

as long as i keep maintaining the catalog, you get the updates. no annual renewal. no "pro tier" of the same theme. if a theme stops shipping updates, i tell you, and the last version stays yours.

Can I use a theme on client sites?

depends on the seat. personal is for your own project. pro covers five sites. studio covers twenty-five sites including client work. agency license covers unlimited sites with white-label rights.

Do you offer refunds?

30 days, no questions. email me, i'll process it. i'd rather not sell to someone unhappy.

How is this different from other theme shops?

smaller catalog, opinionated typography, no marketplace mess. one designer maintaining everything. fewer themes, each one finished.

Do themes work with WooCommerce?

yes. every theme declares woocommerce support and ships with cart, checkout, product, and account templates. the ecom-category themes go further with category landing pages and product-list layouts tuned for the use case.

What support do you provide?

email support, written by me. typical reply within one business day, usually faster. priority tiers get bumped to the top of the queue. no ticket portal, no bots.

Why one-time pricing instead of subscription?

because the math worked out and i find subscription fatigue exhausting as a customer myself. a wordpress theme is a tool you install once, customize, and forget. the only ongoing cost should be the time it takes me to ship fixes and new themes, and that work gets funded by new buyers, not by the same buyer paying every year for the same file. if a theme stops being maintained, the last version stays yours. no rug pulls.

Do themes work with the new block editor?

yes. every theme ships full block editor support, with custom block patterns per theme, editor styles that match the front end, and proper theme.json color and typography tokens. classic editor still works for posts if you prefer it. block themes (fse) are on the roadmap for the next major release, but the current catalog is hybrid: block patterns plus traditional php templates, because that combination is what most production sites still want.
