Build a WordPress site you’re proud of, without the usual headaches

This is a great theme for eCommerce, easily customizable, and with incredible support.

I use my site to sell both retail and wholesale, so I have quite a few extra complications to make it work. Additionally, I’m a woodworker selling my craft online so it’s important to me that my online branding match the aesthetics of my woodworking. With Kalium I’m able to control the look and the tone of every part of my site, from home-page to products to product table to portfolio to cart/checkout to basics like account details.

If I’m struggling to make something work, the support team is always responsive and helpful, helping me to isolate and debug issues, and always providing a timely and solid fix whenever they discover the issue is on their end. I love the ease with which I can apply fonts to my site to match my branding.

The theme integrates well with the large number of plugins I rely on, and it’s easy to find and adjust settings to implement my site-specific needs.

I can’t speak highly enough about my experience using this theme.

The migration from Kalium 3 to Kalium 4 was difficult for me because I had so many customizations, however all settings were carried over in the migration and with their support I was able to re-apply all the needed code overrides and reduce the number of overrides by replacing them with newly available settings. My updated site is cleaner, faster, more robust, and will be easier to maintain after having made the migration.

I cannot speak highly enough of the Kalium WordPress theme and its support team. From the moment I started using Kalium, their team has consistently gone above and beyond. Every request I made—whether for functionality enhancements or clarification of WordPress related – misunderstandings on my part — was met with lightning-fast, thoughtful responses.

What truly sets Kalium apart is their customer-first approach. They guided me, informed me, and listened to every request, no matter how big or small. Amazingly, they never once said “no” to a request, providing solutions that exceeded expectations every time.

For the small amount I paid for this theme, the value I’ve received has been worth it ten times over. Kalium’s team has made my experience seamless and enjoyable, turning challenges into opportunities to improve my site.

If you’re considering Kalium, I can confidently say it’s an investment you won’t regret. Their support team is simply unparalleled and the product works spectacularly well.

I purchased the Kalium theme last May to build the 095mm.it website an – after about six months of work – I can confidently say that the quality of the product matches the excellence of the technical support behind it.

The project required numerous customizations and a high level of flexibility, and the support team was punctual, precise, and almost constantly present, providing quick, clear, and consistently effective answers.

Their meticulous attention to detail truly impressed me. They not only offered thorough guidance, but also helped with tasks beyond their strict scope, suggesting tailored solutions and even providing custom CSS snippets, always with great patience and professionalism.

Thanks to their continuous support, the theme proved to be highly versatile, stable, and easy to shape according to my needs.

An incredibly reliable, skilled, and genuinely helpful team.

I wholeheartedly recommend Kalium.

I put up a review 2 days ago that was incorrect. I misunderstood Laborator’s policy to reset a Kalium license I forgot to remove before deleting the site last year. I don’t know how to update or remove that review so the best I can do is put in a new one. I thought that they changed their license policy so things were only good for the original domain and could only be updated within 6 months. Beyond that, you have to start over and get a new license. I was wrong. If you have an active support contract for the product, you can contact Laborator Support and they will work with you to get it reset. In terms of their products, they are first rate. We have multiple licenses of Aurum and Kalium. They are our first choice first choice for new WordPress projects. Laborator Themes are well documented, perform great, have excellent support and do not have a bunch of bloat so many themes have. My apologies to Laborator for the previous review.

With regard to my Main reason for my five star rating, it is hard to choose between Customer Support and the excellent design of the Bookstore Kalium theme – because both are equally excellent. But ultimately Ylli at Kalium has prevented me from pounding my head into the wall more than I would have otherwise, so Ylli wins that contest. I have only so-so experience with WordPress. I build a site every 2-3 years and feel like I have to relearn it from scratch every time. So even with this well designed theme it took a few days of frustrating diligence before I started to get it. (I highly recommend a clean install – get rid of that old stuff first) But once I began to grasp the theme’s functionality, (with Ylli’s help when I got stuck) it all made sense and I am increasingly happy with this theme’s possibilities. The Bookstore theme is great. I love my new site and it is getting extremely positive response.

This is a beautiful, very solid running and well maintained theme with great support. You can tell the developer is seriously working on this and interested in improving the theme should issues with third party add-ons arise which is unavoidable in the ever changing world of wordpress and even more so if you’re running a bunch of add-ons. Many other devs immediately forward people to (affiliated and) expensive third party professional theme modification companies. And while I’m not saying those third party companies aren’t doing a good job or aren’t worth their pay, I like the hands on approach more. I already purchased several licenses of this theme for this reason alone. And to be honest I’d rather support the theme devs than a third party company. This is to help the theme devs to maintain the theme in the future and help them to continue to provide awesome updates and make their theme even better. 10/10

When you choose a theme, for yourself or for your client, especially for the first time, you don’t need much and yet you want it all. You want it to work and you want the effects on the demo and whatever you envision to be achieved. Preferably without having to be a developer or to know too much backend. Laboratory grants you all of this. I first tried Aurum for an e-commerce client, and it all just made sense. The interface shows you what you want, the plugins are abundant, and the whole thing just works. Even if something doesn’t, guess what, the customer support is really there for you. No flashy promises, just being there for you when you need them. Even the response time is surprisingly quick, especially relatively to the amount of clients they have. Now Kalium is just as great, but allows you even more demo styles, which helps either to remake them into your own or to just give a perspective to reflect on your original idea. The demos are so nice in fact, that you can really test them before purchase and once you purchase, have the satisfaction of not buying a cat in a bag, but something both replicable and flexible. It’s just a pleasure to see people knowing what they do, not overselling, and really delivering. Then you can just do whatever you wish within the constraints of WordPress, yet with boundaries as broad as could be, thanks to the creators. Not to mention that they constantly improve and you can count on them not just dropping you half way. I really appreciate that, and hope it sets a baseline for everyone in the game. Thank you!

I have been using several themes, and Laborator is my number one easiest to use and implement. Managed to get a complex content site up and running in a few days. Theme is clean, minimal, and reflects the design needs of 2018. Service is top notch, responses come within 24 hours despite the very difficult questions I ask. Shout out to Ylli for being friendly, and the theme developers who can recommend technical questions. Conversations are easily understood and clarifications are made to accurately reflect the understanding well. This is probably my first 5-star rating, as I find this theme awesome in design and the developers sincerely nice and helpful. I hope future improvements will include a wider breadth for variety of businesses especially for my own (crowdfunding). I haven’t encountered a bug so far, as the code quality seems to have figured out many of the loopholes in the system. Documentation is spot on and very easy to read. Great for website owners who have a memory of a goldfish like me, and those who are hot-headed and want to get sh*t done. Great job so far.

While going through several themes, Kalium appeared to be one of the best ones that I came across because of the possibilities of its layout and presentation. It is one of the most appropriate platforms for exhibiting creative works. While wanting to showcase our work on the web, one hopes that the sebsite would enhance the quality of what we do, and Kalium has done exactly that. While customizing the theme, working with it, asking for support on quite a few occasions, it has been a smooth process. I am not at all familiar with the techinicalities of making a website, with zero knowledge of coding, whatsoever. And yet i could work on the website and have it presentable in a short time because of the user friendliness of the site, and the precise and promp support received. To be fair, if i was to select the ‘Main reason for your rating’, i would prefer to select all the reasons given in the drop-down list.
