I've been looking for right theme for my website for weeks and finally managed to narrow them down to Avada, Enfold, Striking, Inovado and Jupiter. I've already thoroughly searched on forums for related reviews, but they are too old to be competent since these themes are getting regularly updated.

I know that I can't go wrong with either, but I'm sure someone here has tried at least 2 of them and could give me advise on how they compete in backend, customization, ease of use, page building, support etc. Such factors cannot be seen directly from theme summaries and demos.

Thanks for help!

    I totally forgot about The7, it looks like awesome theme as well, although it works somehow slow to me. Any related customer here that could give some positive or negative recommendations?

      Great, at least I can cross Striking out of equation

      Have you tried both Avada and Enfold so you could tell me head-to-head differences?

    I have websites using Striking, Avada and Enfold.

    All are very good, but in my opinion, Striking is my preferred theme as it is incredibly flexible and has great support.

      How good is support of Avada and Enfold? I heard some people complaining for Avada, is that true? How about Enfold?

      I've asked kaptilin (Striking) for assigning different logos to different pages, but he answered me: "The custom css is not hard at all. We provide custom css on a paid basis, if users require design help of this nature.".

      So I immediately thought that I need to pay even for small CSS adjustments, which are usually given for free by authors...
      I also couldn't find boxed version of Striking, is it possible to set it up with custom backgrounds per page?

        Here is a link to a Striking documentation file. you can see by looking at it, Striking does boxed format. www.strikingsupport.com/wp-content/.../11/Custom-Page-Templates.pdf

        the code below is all you need to change the images per page:
        PHP Code:
           <?php get_the_ID(); if(is_page()) { ='head-image-'..'.jpg'; }; if(!file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH.'/images/'.)) { ='head-image.jpg'; } echo '<img src="'.get_bloginfo('template_url').'/images/'..'" alt="" />'?>
        If you are using a child theme:
        PHP Code:
         <?php if(is_page()) {    =get_the_ID(); ='head-image-'..'.jpg';    if(!file_exists(STYLESHEETPATH.'/images/'.)) { ='head-image.jpg'; }   echo '<img src="'.get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/images/'..'" alt="" />';  }; ?>
        All you have to do is use the 'Page ID' as the jpg name.

        *** EDIT: for some reason the code is not displaying correctly. Contact me and I can get you the code! ***

        I personally would worry less with what changes you WANT to make. And focus more on how the layout will work for you. Not just for today but try and look forward to a year from now.

        CSS or in this case PHP is available for free if you know how to search for it, or happen to know a place you can find someone willing to cough it up for free !

        I personally look for "Older" themes. #1 they are going to be more stable. #2 When looking you want to ensure that there is a good list of theme updates.


        Hope that helps!</DIV>

    I had similar choice problem while looking for a theme for my new web site. I heard a lot of good things about Avada and Enfold, but somehow ended up with purchasing Richer... And it worked for me, absolutely. I liked the fact it is new, but already popular. It appeared to be fast, easy to use. The important thing for me was amazing support from the authors. They help me a lot with some minor questions, as well as with my personal preferences. So, can recommend you not to stuck on 'big' TF themes, ask more presales qestions and read feedbacks about the themes you like.

      Nice choice, I've also recommended these themes in this thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/website-...heme-like.html
      The7 and Richer are great alternates for TS. Hope he's enjoying his site now

    So far, I had used avada and offer variety of customizations in their dashboards.
