DO NOT purchase this theme unless you are able to do a lot of customization via CSS. Let’s take a look:
CONS:
- Designer does NOT provide reply to support or general email inquiries
- Theme has many spelling and grammar errors
- Theme lacks Euro currency symbol implementation
- Customizing theme is NOT simple at all. Customization only applies to payment settings (currency, rate, and PayPal information)
- No image upload feature (for corporate logos)
- No foreign language support (I’m a newbie to WordPress, so perhaps this is available as a plugin; but a premium WordPress theme should have this built-in)
- No support forum/community
- No information on new releases
- Designer’s RSS feed is down
- No resume functionality
- Very little customization for job ads
- Knowledge of CSS is required in order to be able to modify look & feel of site
PROS:
- reasonably priced
- with CSS knowledge could be made into powerful job board
- easy to install (drag/drop -> themes folder)
In my opinion, ClassiPress seems like a much more solid alternative. The designer of ClassiPress is very active on her site and replies to discussions on a daily basis. (Marry me?)
Adios
