Really enjoyed using this theme, I’ve been looking for a theme for a while that has the flexibility and SEO performance of a multi-page site but with the easy ability to have a summary-style one-page scrolling homepage.
I’ve used Marchetti Design themes before and I like the fact that the themes don’t bloat with crazy theme settings and page builders. The theme uses the WordPress customiser in the way it was intended and simply uses different pages templates for layout changes as opposed to a singular confusing default template that is built to cater for everything.
Looking forward to seeing how this theme evolves and would highly recommend it.

No smooth scroll down from the first screen on the home page. The top menu stays the way it initially is (without obtaining background upon scrolling), which makes it invisible/unusable on light sections and backgrounds. Cannot say whether it is a bug, because you can see the same behaviour on the author’s site demo. However, the advert page for the theme, which is obviously based on this very theme, does have smooth scroll and correct menu rendering upon scrolling, which makes me kind of wonder. I hope this is, after all, a sad bug in the free version, and not an attempt to upsale the premium version.
UPD: The issue with smooth scrolling and top menu behavior is caused by one piece of Javascript (a particular file), which is flagged by anti-banner software because of its unfortunate name. Since there is no controlling what internet security software your visitors use or don’t use, this might be a problem. Can be resolved by renaming two .js files (even one, in fact) and changing the filename in the relevant line in functions.php.
Also, again no regard to the non-latin languages, which has already become a tradition. That’s one of the main reasons I don’t buy premium themes, by the way. This issue is fixable in most cases. However, it requires me to dive into functions.php and the stylesheets, and try to understand what the dev did there, so I could get rid of the awful Times New Roman, to which all fancy typography falls back on desktop. It’s never something I’m looking forward to, believe me.
The theme is responsive, looks decent on actual mobile phone. Has smooth scroll that desktop version lacks, by the way. Good mobile menu execution, better than average, I’d say.
If the developer fixes the Javascrip issue, I’ll change the mark to 4 stars at once. One star will be withheld for the font, I’m afraid. Overall the theme looks rather solid and mobile friendly.
