great look, not too hard to set up and use

This theme might take a little exploring to find where all the settings for it are, but overall it’s got pretty good functionality and delivers a modern style for a website. I use it to showcase my website as a photographer, and the home page looks pretty and serves up my images nicely. It loads with a decent speed, and the best part of it is that you can set sliders that display only on mobile or only on desktop, which means that you can optimize photos for viewing on a horizontal desktop display vs a vertical phone display, by creating a slider for desktop and creating a slider for mobile.

The only drawback I see to Optimizer is how it displays portfolio thumbnails or the featured photo on blog posts. It does this weird zoom action on the thumbnail that you can’t turn off, and it’s distracting and unnecessary. So I don’t use the portfolio function and instead I use a portfolio plug-in, and I host my blog separately on another domain and a different theme.
