![]() ![]() Their lacking communication is such a huge disappointment to many people. I’ve given up on Headway Themes for exactly the same reasons as those you’re mentioning. Will be kind enough to leverage your connection with Grant to let us know exactly what’s happening with our much loved HT.Īs I began formulating my reply, it turned into a lengthy reply that I simply had to get off my chest – so I decided to expand upon it, and share it with you as well: Headwaythemes have gone dead silence on those of us who are their customer and if you google HT, you will notice the frustration of customers needless to say on HT forum. I am not sure if you can help using your influence and experience of Headwaythemes and your interview with Grant – What brought me back to the keyboard, was an email from an understandably upset, concerned Headway customer: I can’t recommend Headway, not even wrapped in a long rant, as long as the state of affairs with Headway Themes and Headway 4.0 is so… flaky. Users reporting no replies from support, the official Headway Themes community forums are full to the brim with angry, frustrated customers (!) who voice their concerns over the lack of frequent, drastically improved updates, lacking communication / vital signs from the Headway Themes team, who seems to more or less have abandoned Headway.įor those reasons, I can’t leave my review in its original state. What’s even more troublesome: communication from Headway Themes has been… lacking… to say the least. That’s the problem: issues are still present. Now, almost 2 months since my review was published, and almost 4 months (!) since Headway 4.0 was released: not much has happened. I couldn’t ignore all the frustration surrounding Headway 4.0. For a short while… ’cause those frustrated user reports kept coming. What I had felt was a sour review, was in fact perhaps the most glorious review Headway 4.0 could have ever hoped for.Īnyway, I had written how I felt about Headway 4.0, and didn’t think more about it. So… why this update then? Well… After my review was published, I became increasingly aware of many Headway users dissatisfaction with Headway 4.0. I knew it was “ranty” in its tone, and as a long-time outspoken Headway fan, Headway web designer, and Headway online course producer I didn’t want to publish a ranty review, sour and bittersweet in taste.Īlas, I had to tell it like it is. When I originally published this review almost 2 months ago, I had a bitter taste writing it, and a sour taste publishing it. It’s not as flexible and powerful as Headway, but a lot easier to work with, and gets you there, faster. In case you’re looking for a Headway alternative, I recommend Beaver Builder (the Pro plan with their theme) as your #1 choice. That says it all.įor that reason, I still can’t recommend Headway, despite its unique attributes and my (previous) long-time support of (and love for) it. Shockingly, the latest version of Headway 4 – is Headway 4.0.7 – from May 2016. Everything I wrote is still relevant, and sadly even more so: I just replied to a comment on the post and checked up on the latest Headway 4.0 development. With its recent addition of Beaver Themer, it’s a great Headway theme alternative: lots of power and flexibility – with a user-friendly UI that puts Headway to shame.Ĭoincidentally, it’s now exactly 3 months since I wrote the previous update. My current and 100% heartwarm recommendation for a great Headway Themes alternative, is still Beaver Builder. This is to prevent your risk of buying an abandoned theme. For that reason, I’m redirecting all Headway-links to this post. The latest Headway 3 theme release was on October 13th, 2016, and Headway 4 still hasn’t been updated since May 4th, 2016. In the Thrive Architect review I also compare it vs Elementor and Beaver Builder, as well provide perspective on its resemblance to Headway. However, while writing my review of Thrive Architect, I felt a strong power and granularity of control in Thrive Architect that brings that page builder very close to “the Headway experience”. My alternative recommendations below still hold true!Īs a Headway Themes alternative, I still recommend Beaver Builder (as mentioned below). Redirected links to the Headway fork “Blox” to this post instead, as the project seems abandonware.
