Users who adopt version 1.0 of anything deserve serious respect. Without early theme adopters, we would be permanently stuck in beta testing mode. They help pave the way for the users that follow, helping to find and squash bugs if and when they are found.
Today we’re paying homage to these pioneering users who have adopted early releases of our themes as a way to say thanks. Plus, you get a sneak peek at their sites, some of which are under development, some of which were completed shortly after installing our themes . Sit back and enjoy!
