I have purchased themes from Baamboo Studio over the years and I must say they all work great. Quang is a master developer, and has been excellent at getting back to me when I have questions or theme ideas. The new Weebly sections, as well as the many other updates, will put Weebly in the top spot for web design platforms. It is great to see third party developers designing themes and apps, that work with all of the latest greatest Weebly features.

The modern themes will be helpful for the designers to make a clean and a professional looking website. With the new updates, the designers will be able to add Parallax and Reveal Scrolling Effect into the website. The newly added features will help the designers to give a unique look to the UI of the applications.

Totally agree! Parallax, Reveal Scrolling, & Flexible Headers are a great addition to Weebly templates.

We've been tinkering with the new features since Weebly 4 came out and have landed on a design which fits the tone of our Nathan McClain Gallery site as well as showcases the crowd-curated art & life of Nate McClain.

Let us know what you think of how we used the new features at www.natemcclain.com

It would be awesome if you can print order details or create shipping labels through shippo directly through the app. Another great improvement would be being able to modify the order details page to include or not include product images(more of a quick print style)
