Decode

Beautiful minimalist theme by an avid developer who provides great support, even though he is already generous to offer the theme for free.

Works well, and huge number of options available

I am so grateful that the author generously provided this for free

I saw a couple bad reviews in here, so I felt the need to chime in…

I think people tend to forget that the developer has a life outside of Decode. He’s a kid, who probably has school work and a social life. He’s not working 40hrs a week on Decode for a living. He’s doing it in his free time, and giving it away, for free. Don’t expect him to drop everything he’s doing and make his theme compatible with some obscure formatting change you’re trying to make. If you think you can do better, teach yourself HTML and CSS and help the dev out, instead of posting here complaining about how poor the support is.

I’ve been using Decode for a few months now, and like others, have run into my share of issues. Every time I’ve posted in the support forum or messaged the dev, I’ve received nothing but good support and feedback from the both the dev and the community.

Thank you for the great, free theme and for continuing to support it as much as you can.

I never review themes but there is something about this wonderfully crisp no nonsense theme that I really like. It is so crisp that it works as a simple home web design right through to a corporate look. And as you’d expect it comes up well on smaller devices.

It also seems quite stable.

In a world of over kill it’s refreshing to see functional minimalism.

Well done.

Had such high hopes of this template, spent quite a bit of time on my site. The spacing and size of elements are ridiculously large. Tried to obtain some support from the author, took quite a few days to hear back from him and when i finally did was given a poor response and lack of interest in helping any further.

My main concern was trying to have a fixed side bar, it is NOT possible to do this using the decode template.

Disappointed to have wasted so much time on this and have an unsable product – go elsewhere!

I enjoy using this theme… not something I can say too frequently.

Great theme. Elegant, simple, customizable. Just what I was looking for, and it has plenty of social options too. The developer is pretty responsive and open to feedback as well.

This is a wonderful theme, I really love this theme. I run this theme in my two blogs. But I am facing a slight issue with respect to images.

1. photogeneblog.org – the images are responsive and comes to full width
2. foodeverywhere.in – the images are shrinked!

Can anybody help me to sort out this?

Very nice and eazy customiseable theme

This is the most flexible theme I have ever seen! I haven’t seen much themes with even half of configuration options that’s there in this theme! Worth 5 stars!

I was able to install it and use it in 5 minutes. What else can i ask?
