Good day, I’m considering an extended license at $3,500 but there are a few things missing such as front-end editing. Is this something that you plan to incorporate in the future?

Hi ValiantMarketing!

Thank you for your offer. The front-end editing discussion is in the roadmap, because we are not satisfied with current level of front-end editing in other WP themes and if we implement it, we want to make it really unique, stunning and at least with same user-friendly level, as our Fresh Builder is having.

We would contact you via email for further discussion, but you dont have contact form on your profile page. So if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to shoot us email and we will answer asap :-)

Thanks and cheers! :)

nice theme, thinking about to buy, one question: Can I build carousel image slider ? didn’t see any in your demos.

Hi gowapi!

Yes, of course, in Ark is like 15 different types of sliders, which will serve all your needs (custom slider, carousel, blog slider, portfolio slider, image slider etc). Image carousel slider as well, and you can insert anything into this slider, not only images.

Ark is so features heavy, that sometimes is really hard to present all the things you can do with the Ark. That is also the reason of our introduction price. Instead of marketing budget, you can try The Ark by yourself and let us amaze you :-)

Thanks and cheers! :)

is there any way to change the bright green color its too strong and bright for my eyes i cant read the white text i will have to buy glasses soon if i keep see it 

anyways im resetting my wp and php files also bcz i have changed so my things also by mistake along the way in that 7 hrs coding journey :)

ahhaah u were right .. there was an option box screen display intelligence mode i switch it off now i can see 2 green colors in background and menu before i could only see one bright color :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Hi Khalid!

In half an hour, you will be able to one-click update Ark in your WordPress admin. Among the new features is the ability to mute the green color via “Theme Options > Skins > Muted UI colors” checkbox. The difference in color is small (for now) so if you would feel like you need it even more toned down, let us know via our profile page contact form and we can chat about it in more detail.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi there. What happens with Builder generated content if i decide to switch to another theme sometime in the future? Does it show up as a bunch of shortcodes then (like VC stuff) or can i use them without problems?

Hi blitzgeek!

Yes, the content is saved in shortcodes. Processing of the shortcodes is located in “Ark Core” plugin. So if you keep this plugin active, you will see your content in other themes as well, so your hands are not tied :-)

But to be honest, we created really stunning product, filled with tons of pre-defined content, having really intuitive UI, pushing the technology edge, bringing tens of “never-seen-before” innovations to the market, so we are really confident that once you try Ark, you will stay with us.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi khalid!

Dont worry, send us your WP login through profile page and we will figure it out for you. Seems like Envato has problems with autentification/download servers today.

Does the HTML 5 video background work on mobile devices? I tried to view it on my phone but it isn’t showing.

Also for the google map section, is it possible to prevent it from zooming in while scrolling down the page?

Hi there!

1) Video backgrounds are disabled for mobile devices by default because they tend to be very bandwidth heavy (mobile internet is usually expensive) and they are not very smooth on cheaper mobile devices with lower tech specs.

2) This is a great suggestion! At the moment, you can disable all map interactions but we will implement an option to disable only the mousewheel interaction next week, I have already added it on our roadmap.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi MonarchM!

We just released 1.0.2 update which contains new awesome demo and lots of new functionalities. We also enhanced the Map element pretty strongly with these features:

1.) Option to disable scroll zoom 2.) Option to disable double click zoom 3.) Option to disable dragging the map 4.) Option to disable map UI elements

All of these things are of course backwards compatible.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Freshface has raised the bar for Wordpress theme design to a whole new level with the Ark and the included builder. I spent quality time looking through the demos and was very impressed with the extensive set of features, possibilities and ease of use. I am very concerned that with this product, Freshface may end up running other WP theme developers out of business if they don’t step up their game…seriously, I have never been this excited at a wordpress theme/builder. My advise to a anyone looking to build a unique wordpress site, grab the theme while the introductory price lasts! Even though, I got complimentary pre-launch licenses, I have purchased 3 new licenses directly from themeforest to keep in my arsenal for future projects.

After seeing the demos, I proceeded to install and experiment with the builder and I must confess, while there is still room for improvement, there is so much you can do with the builder. You can customize nearly every piece of content, component, and layout with minimal effort. The possibilities and simplicity are limitless. I am sure there may be hit and misses along the way as is common with the launch of any new product, however, it appears the developer is very committed to improving and fixing things as they pop up, so I think those issues will be iron out with time.

Great job!

Hi Omoge!

Thank you very much for your kind words and supporting us by purchasing multiple licenses for future use.

It was our goal to create a complete solution that will last for years to come. We already have a roadmap for upcoming improvements to maintain your expectations for a world-class product. We promise to keep continually improving and innovating in order to stay ahead and we do hope that you can be with us along the way and help us achieve everything we have set.

Thanks and cheers! :)

i want to buy but i have questions hmmmmm ehh who care its just 19$ i will buy it right now :)

pfffffffff again every time i try to download something in envato market file stuck than network error http://prnt.sc/dgw3mu ... googling time..

Hi Khalid!

Haha, we like your spirit, thank you :) Unfortunately this problem is with Envato servers or the network pipeline between your computer and Envato server, so there is nothing we can do. We recommend trying to re-download the files a little later, in half an hour or so. We also didn’t receive any more mentions about this from other customers yet.

Thanks and cheers! :)

its work now …. so from now if i buy something i will have to wait 1-2 hrs to download it … its happen for my last 3 purchase …

This is the coolest page builder in a while :)

Amazing theme, Good Luck With Sale :)

hey, i have premium ARK theme from freshface, its wonderfull project.. but 1 question how to make categories for WOOCOMERCE product.. i meant, in this Fresh builder just have 1 FEATURED PRODUCT for woomerce… thankyou

Hi there!

In your WordPress admin, go to Ark > Sitemap. Then select “WooCommerce Archive” from the left menu. After that you will see the Fresh Builder interface where you can customize the WooCommerce archive/category view.

If you would have more support questions, please start a thread on our dedicated support forums here: http://support.freshface.net/forums/

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hey thankyou for ur response, did u meant products archive? cause there is no WOocommerce archive in here, even i have installed woocomerce…

Hi Kaedebliss!

I’m not sure, if we have the same terminology. But there is of course “Woo Commerce” element, directly in the Fresh Builder, which allows you to print an WooCommerce products (1 or many, depending on you) and fully customize the look of the product (add to cart button, title, content etc..) by drag&drop functionality. This element can be inserted anywhere (in sliders or footer for example).

Also trough our Sitemap, you can style your WooCommerce Product Archives.

We have already seen plenty of Ark WooCommerce websites, running everything smoothly, so if you struggle with anything, just open a support ticket at the forum and we will try help you and push you to the right direction :-)

Thanks and cheers! :)

I’ve been playing around with the theme for about an hour and, while it is a very new paradigm for wordpress, the learning curve is not insurmountable. Nice work!

Hi deadsparrow!

We are really proud of our system and calling it “new paradigm for WordPress” is honor for us, especially from buyer with 100+ purchases, who knows the market and different products as well.

We designed Fresh Builder and the whole workflow to be as easy and intuitive, as possible, but most powerful on the market, in same time.. We are closely watching the sites build with Ark and our users are able to make stunning designs and leverage all the things we offer, which makes us pretty happy :-)

Thanks and cheers! :)

I couldn’t use the theme in my latest project because I coudn’t get it to work with convertkit very well. I still love Ark and I look forward to seeing the updates and hopefully can use it in a future project. Good luck with sales guys. Nice work.

Hi deadsparrow!

This is unusual, I looked at ConvertKit description and it should work out of the box. Anyway I’ll inspect this more closely and make sure it works smoothly.

We are making one release today, but its already been packed, so it will be in the next 1.0.3 release, which will be introduced next week. In the meantime, could you please email us with little more details?

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hello, having the same problem as omoge and the fresh builder doesn’t load. Visited the forum and couldn’t add my license key, couldn’t find posts about the Fresh Builder and when I found a post about Ark the forum wouldn’t let me visualize it because “There is no purchase of this product associated with your account. Please add license key.” Please notify me after solving this problems.

Hi ninotchik!

Envato API has sometimes longer response times, the registration should be ok. We created topic for you, could you please post your WP login there?

I’m interested by the builder universal concept but…

1) Do you plan to add much more special fx (transitions & behaviors) because it seems pretty basic design so far (not impressed) 2) Do you have a SPAM protection because it seems e-mails, phones could be easily captured by robots in contact forms 3) Do you plan to add a more intuitive webdesigner mode (drag/drop and pixel perfect approach) with rulers, guides and grids and such things ? 4) Are we able to specify the interval / borders space between containers? (none, 1px,...) ?

Thanks!

Hi simoorg!

1.) Every builder Element and any of its inner parts have the option to add one of the 50+ reveal animations (It’s directly in the “Box Model” tab).

2.) Of course, our contact forms are 100% bullet proof, all important data is encoded with cryptography cipher, so you are safe :-) Also you can use our “Captcha” builder element, which implements google re-captcha, strongest captcha available.

3.) Actually it one of the best builders on the market (if not the best), when comes to pixel-perfect approach, because you have so many options. In Ark, you can create your own grid.

4.) Yes, of course, and much more!

Thanks and cheers! :)

hey how long will $19 price available? and whay is this theme so cheap now is it good quality item?

Hi nordys!

Dont worry, behind Ark is a team of 7 fulltime developers from Europe. We got your back :-) We figured out, that instead of having marketing budget, we will rather discount the price and let the Ark speak for himself.

Thanks and cheers! :)

7 full time developer and $19 price? seems fishy…no? anyway do you approve refunds?

Hi nordys!

Thank you for sharing your concerns with us, let me go ahead and try to put your mind at ease because there is absolutely nothing fishy going on.

At the moment, our priority is to get Ark out there to as many people as possible. We strongly believe in the product and the most effective way of getting more people on board is by simply lowering the price. Our core business (in the future) will be based on selling multiple licenses, mostly to people who do client work and want to use the same theme for everything – because you can really create almost any kind of website on Ark.

Contrary to popular belief, price has little to do with quality in some cases, as one slowly finds out in the course of their life. Side note, did you know that Microsoft donates Windows licenses to schools all over the world to grow a new generation of Windows users? That’s a great long term plan for the future of their business. But unlike Microsoft, we are trying to be open with you – the price is low to get you on board faster, it’s that simple. We are just trying to think ahead and get the ball rolling :) The more people, the merrier :)

As I’ve said before, we hope that once you try Ark, you will come back for more licenses in the future for your new projects.

And yes, we of course accept refunds, you can ask for one here: http://themeforest.net/refund_requests/new We understand people have many tastes/needs so we do not grudge if you just want a refund. We want to focus all of our energy on repeat business from satisfied customers, that’s all that matters.

Wow Ark is #NEXTLEVEL (the page builder and the way you can easily import sections and elements along with images and modern style AMAZING blows Visual Composer away)! I watched a number of your many tutorial/highlight videos. Curious, are parallax background on mobile view and animations possible? Am sure you will GO BIG $ales as deserved with these awesomeness!

Hi sterlingwilliam!

Thank you very much for your kind words, it means a lot for us :-). Back to your question, the answer is yes, backgrounds and animations are possible on mobiles as well, out of the box.

Thanks and cheers! :)
