That is very kind of you, thank you for the positive review and I can't wait to see what you build with MD! I'm available at the support forums for any assistance I can provide along the way.
I have been following the progress of Alex and his Marketer’s Delight theme for several years now, and he hasn’t disappointed.
He has focused on performance, and providing some great features. Some of the built-in features would normally require additional plugins when using other themes, and the drop-ins are just great. I am pretty sure you won’t find some of them in other themes.
Some other developers are only just implementing things like content upgrades and their versions of the Stream, but Alex added this a while ago.
As well as being very innovative, Alex is also fantastically helpful. His help in the forums is incredibly helpful and super fast.
Alex also doesn’t try and impose the way he thinks things should be done on you. He gives you options, and accepts that some folks will always try and do things differently.
I am really looking forward to what he comes up with next.
Finally, I missed out on the unlimited sites deal, but jumped on the 2 sites deal, because it is worth it just to play around with Marketer’s Delight.
Just be prepared to spend some time to playing around with different things to get the very best out of the theme.
Feature-Packed Yet Easy-to-Use and Flexible WordPress Theme
My review below is based on my experience of using Marketers Delight (MD) on two WordPress sites in the past year. My MD sites were/are: (1) a membership site for staff of a client organization who were attending my Zoom training courses, and (2) a simple blog of personal interests (currently still in development).
Pros:
- Aesthetics. MD looks good out of the box and can look even better with some simple tweaks.
- Ease-of-Use. I've used WordPress since 2009 and I've built different web sites on Thesis, Catalyst, Genesis, MD, Kadence, but I am by no means an expert website designer. As a small business owner, I need to focus on the core work of my consulting business. That's why I appreciate how easy it is to build a functional, modern-looking site with MD - this saves me precious time (and trouble/frustration) in trying to make my site look and function the way I want. I occasionally refer to the MD Support Forums and Documentation (both of which are helpful), but I'd say most of the work on MD is intuitive and the learning curve is no more challenging than most other decent WordPress themes on the market.
- Flexibility and Potential to Scale. When first installed, MD might look relatively simple - it has all the features you expect from a premium theme but little more. I prefer my sites to have as little bloat as possible, so I value the minimalism that MD provides. Nevertheless, the MD Drop-ins and Gutenberg WordPress editor extend the core features such that the possibilities are endless. Among the MD Drop-ins, I particularly like: Stream, Subtitle, WooCommerce and Docs Library. I should also mention the proprietary MD Accordion Category Links widget - this widget is invaluable on my personal blog because the topics (post categories) I blog on are diverse and disparate and the widget efficiently organizes post titles in the WordPress sidebar.
- High-Quality Code. The home page of my personal blog scored a GTmetrix Grade A, Performance score 100% and Structure score 91%. Pages of my MD websites load fast.
- Skills and Dedication of the Lead Developer. Alex is a highly talented WordPress developer with a knack for attractive website designs. I had known of him - and admired his work - for several years (since the Thesis days), and watched how his business and the MD theme had grown and matured. I finally took the plunge and purchased an MD license off the official MD site in 2020. When I saw the LTD offered on AppSumo in November 2020, I didn't hesitate to grab it!
Con (I can think of only one):
- Initial Work Required to Customize Look and Feel. If you're looking for a WordPress theme that you install and select a premade template/skin, MD is probably not for you. As mentioned, MD requires some tweaking and some work to get your site looking how you want it. This is not necessarily a con - the added work in customizing the site will make it unique and you won't be "locked" into a particular look/feel of a template or skin.
I've been running websites since 2011, and I've used a variety of themes over the last 10 years. None of them have come close to MD.
The level of customization it gives you is unreal: from the menus to the sidebar to the widgets to the posts, it's all better in Marketer's Delight.
And if that's not enough to convince you, the customer support is top tier. Oftentimes you'll get an answer from Alex himself, the mastermind behind MD. I thought as MD grew I'd have less contact with him, but he doesn't hesitate to step in himself to fix your issues, which by the way don't happen very often.
All this to say, when this lifetime deal appeared I jumped on it. For the price I usually spend per year on a license, I get it forever. I'm probably going to buy a couple and give them out to friends.

The best wordpress theme I've ever used
I've been running websites since 2011, and I've used a variety of themes over the last 10 years. None of them have come close to MD.

In other words what I'm saying is GET THIS DEAL!
