What Essenza’s users are saying:

I had to find some time to leave a comment. This Theme is beautyful and super easy to customize. Possibilities are almost endless without having to write a single line of code. The page builder is idiot proof (I’m entitled to say that) and for any questions you may have it looks like there’s someone in the support working just for you: superfast answers and simple solutions always. 5 stars! – felicedellagatta

I wanted to tell all prospective buyers that the Essence team has been great: I had a problem and had it fixed me with a lot of professionalism. Talented and professional! Long life! Good job!!! Thank you so much! – surgelata
