Whatever you do, don’t purchase themes from non-reputable websites. Especially avoid WPFreelance by Boxthemes[dot]net. It’s a scam. You do not get what you py for because the theme does not work as the demo. In addition, you get scammed for customiztion, they ask for or Cpanel account and mess you up
Thanks for this list. Definitely good picks for a side hustle review site 🙂
Great information. I’m having a hard time choosing which theme to use for my review site.
“The review” and “Gonzo” are so nice. Very much responsive.
I would have chosen the ready review theme. But someone here mentioned the theme is now broken and does not have support anymore. Sad…
That’s correct, I removed the theme from the list.
