The most well-structured theme we've encountered so far. Both the backend and frontend are well organized, making it a reliable, and solid basis to scale in the future. Our compliments to the developers of this theme!
TailRings.com
Empire was my first step out of the "free" template tier. The really interesting thing about Empire, to me, is the flexibility of the sections and how you are able to make it do what you need. When you need support, Pixel Union has always stepped up and helped out. My tech, Phoebe, is outstanding! Thanks for all the help!
Theatre Supplies Group
The support from the theme developers is always top notch. They're always super efficient at getting back to me and sorting out any issues I might have. A big thanks to Euwi and Danielle who've helped me in the past! Keep it up guys:)
