Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.
Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind me asking what theme you’re using?
(and don’t mind if I steal it? :P)
I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the theme
slows (!) the site down quite a bit.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself
during the coronavirus scare!
Thank you for appreciation, the theme name is given below the website.
