About the Shopify business

We produce designs and Print-on-Demand them on Clothes, Clothing Accessories, Home Accessories, Home Decoration products, Pet Accessories, Tech Accessories, Sports Accessories etc. We sell internationally but our core market is the USA & Canada. We are, currently, focused on adding more designs to our portfolio. Subsequently, we plan to invest more vigorously in marketing.

Describe the experience

The FLEX Theme is extremely versatile. It has hundreds of features which do away with the need to use many apps. On the other hand, all those features make the Theme extremely slow (at least when I measure it via Google's Pagespeed Insights). I appreciate, particularly, the fact that the FLEX Theme Team is very responsive when there's an issue. Also, the FLEX Theme is regularly updated which is, of course, very important. Finally, the Theme Updater App is a huge plus. With my previous Shopify theme, I dreaded the process every time I had to apply a theme update. With the Theme Updater App, the whole thing is simplified to less than 10 minutes for each update. So, overall, I am very satisfied with the FLEX Theme, if we take out the fact that it's very slow. Even that, however, is (sort of) compensated for by the fact that the FLEX Theme developers have incorporated most of what Google recognizes as "Best Practices". In fact, according to my latest Google Pagespeed Insights score, I have a "Best Practices" score of 92, a "SEO" score of 83 and an "Accessibility Score" of 70 !!!

Feedback or suggestions for the theme developer

As I mentioned before, the only problem I have encountered, so far, is the fact that the FLEX Theme is very slow. At least this is my experience with my own site. I would appreciate it if it could be sped up but, on the other hand, I acknowledge the fact that this is probably due to its feature-rich nature. So, I'm not sure whether this is a feasible task ...

About the Shopify business

Silk scarves and neckties we design ourselves, launched in 2004. We sell worldwide.

Describe the experience

It is quite flexible and generally easy to customize as per our needs. It is an excellent theme overall for a good price, and I would repeat the choice in a heartbeat. There are a few bugs that we pointed out many months ago (one even a year ago) that have still not been fixed, which I find frustrating.

Feedback or suggestions for the theme developer

We are using the flex theme and decided to use the mega menu's. They look great on the desktop. If we don't use mega menus we don't really like the desktop. So for desktop all our settings now are right. However, the mega menu's don't function right on mobile. The mega menu opens all the sub-menus at once, next to each other and it looks very weird. If I disable the mega menu the menu on mobile functions as you would expect. With different layers and the correct layout. So basically what we would like is to have the mega menu on desktop and the normal menu on mobile. We have been in touch with support about this and this apparently intended behavior but we would like to give this as feedback because we really don't think it looks great.

About the Shopify business

Island Thyme Soap Company has been making handmade coconut milk soap since 2017. Designed to be a small business with a big heart, we donate 10% of every sale to a cause close to our hearts. Target market: Professional men & women ages 34-60 interested in health & wellness, limiting exposure to harsh chemicals found in bath & body products, creative people, people who love travel, aging hippies that still love patchouli and Jimmy Buffet. Our returning customers are very loyal. We don't have a large marketing budget, so we need to focus on converting more organic traffic. LOVE the FLEX theme for its ease of use and flexibility.

Describe the experience

I love the flexibility. I love that its robust in features and doesn't require a lot of apps to make it fully functional. I LOVE the clear documentation and support. I set it up myself. It's ideal from someone like me who doesn't have the budget to hire a web design firm but still wants a professional looking site.

I began with another OOTSB theme, Responsive. I am a fan of OOTSB. I switched to FLEX for its namesake; flexibility. I considered Turbo, but decided on FLEX.
