HERO customer testimonials

Fully tested: iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and even desktop browsers

HERO is a fully responsive theme and has been tested on several browsers across multiple operating systems and devices. So whether your site is visited from a tablet or smartphone, you can rest assured your content will be accessible quickly and easily.

HERO works alongside your existing desktop theme

HERO works alongside your existing desktop theme and can easily be shown to your mobile and/or tablet visitors only.

Install as a web app (use your own splash screens and icons)

As a part of the theme’s default functionality, HERO can be installed on your iOS device as a web app. Upon arriving on your site, a handy prompt alerts your visitor to add the site to their Home Screen, meaning your site will be just a single tap away.

You can also add your own custom icons and splash screens that the web app will make use of, as illustrated by the included default images below:
