I have built many many Concrete5 sites and normally use my own falrly basic themes finding that easier than using a bought theme. However due to the lack of decent navigation blocks in Concrete5.7 and 5.8 I started to investigate using a theme with a good nav built in. Modena looked clean and modern so I gave it a go and I must say I am so impressed with it, it's much easier to use than any other theme I have used (often you buy themes thinking they will save you time but actually you spend so much time customising them and sorting out their quirks that it actually takes longer). There are so many built in and really useful blocks, animations, lots of theme customisations without having to tinker with the code, great layouts and very helpful documentation. And I have actually learnt more about some of the more in depth features of Concrete5.8.

Not only this but when I found a small bug, I contacted David and he responded very quickly and gave me a workaround while he investigated the bug. Excellent stuff!
