I love the Thrive Theme Builder style editor. Being able to set site-wide color schemes and fonts is fantastic.
So are the ready-made templates. They make it so easy to get a decent looking page built really quickly. I couldn’t believe how fast I was able to create my homepage – complete with blog post grid and newsletter sign-ups.
Thrive Apprentice is also great and has been a real lifesaver for me too. [My course] is now completely in my control. I’m no longer at the mercy of a course platform.

I have a course business, a coaching business, and more recently I run events for my audience.
I think people should use Thrive Theme Builder and Apprentice to build a really great website, and then use tools like Thrive Leads and other lead-building tools within Thrive Suite to really focus on building up an email list.

Thrive Themes was the best investment I made for my business.
I can literally do everything I want, from adding a punky design all over my site with the woosh of a click, to zooming in on my potential customers thanks to cool opt-ins and popups.
Without it, I think working on my website would be as hard and frustrating as a day without a good ol' cup of dark coffee 70% Arabica 30% Robusta (Kenyan is the best).

There was always a trade-off, build a site that was pretty OR one optimized to convert... until I discovered Thrive Themes.
I've been a customer since way before Architect and I originally switched so I didn't have loads of licenses to different – sometimes competing – tools.
I love the direction you guys have taken and I describe Thrive Suite as a business in a box. The pre-built elements save so much time and fit with my philosophy of standing on the shoulders of giants! Awesome source!

I have been using Thrive Suite for more than a year now and my experience with it has just been phenomenal. I don't see any other tool offering these kinds of features at this time.
Thrive has definitely taken my business to the next level. I got started with Thrive Themes on a recommendation from one of my great friends and mentor. After that, I launched my own Program BYOW (Build Your Own Website).
Now I am training doctors and business owners across India on how they can Build Their Own Websites using Thrive Suite.
Thrive has been one of the gamechanging things that happened in my life. I'm so happy & grateful that I invested in Thrive Themes for my business.
