FlexBlock & FlexThemes Reviews | What Flothemes Clients Say
Back in March of 2019, we launched FlexBlock, a site design tool that became life-changing for many of our clients. Fast forward to November 2019, when the world welcomed our first themes fully integrated with FlexBlock – Elise, Lyra, and Verso. We called them FlexThemes, and that’s when the exciting chapter has begun. A chapter where flexibility, customization, and creative freedom are the main attributes. Since the release of the first 3 FlexThemes, we’ve created 9 more beautiful and customizable designs for any taste.
If you’re new to Flothemes and have no idea what all these “Flex things” are, check this article where we explain everything in the smallest details! But here is a quick recap:
FlexBlock is a Flothemes plugin and a powerful design tool that allows you to build your own custom site layouts with zero code required. You simply drag & drop elements around, such as photos, videos, fonts, buttons and create absolutely unique layouts for your site pages.
FlexThemes are a new generation of themes that have FlexBlock integrated into their framework. This means that you will be able to customize almost every single detail within your website and make it look exactly as you’ve envisioned it, both, on desktop and mobile.
We know that one honest client review is worth a thousand company words, so we asked a bunch of Flothemes clients to share their experience with using FlexThemes and FlexBlock. It’s a useful read for all those who are considering getting a new theme, yet worry how they will they work as compared to their current theme/provider.

“I love freedom, and my theme has given me just that. The freedom to make my website exactly the way I want! FlexThemes are for the creatives who want to be involved in the making of their websites – but it is also so, so very easy to use when you are new to WordPress and Flothemes! With a simple CLICK! you can make changes to your website with new FlexBlock layouts.”

“I decided to try out Flothemes after I heard great reviews from other photographers. I started out with the Crowd II theme because it really resonated with the vision I had for my photography brand.
I loved Crowd II so much that I decided to purchase another template once Flothemes released the FlexThemes. I’m now using the Lyra site and I just love it. The ability to custom design your mobile and web view was one of the main reasons I purchased this theme. Flex Blocks are so easy to use and they actually made building my new site so much fun 🙂 The fonts are amazing too.
To be honest, my theme sat in my downloads folder because I didn’t want to start over, but when I finally sat down to start rebuilding, the process was so seamless! My favorite part was that I was able to build and test my website using FloLaunch before my new site went live! I didn’t have to go into maintenance mode. Yay!
I’m always adding and changing my site, and the Lyra theme makes this a piece of cake. I can hop on quickly and make changes that would have taken me hours to do before. Also, the galleries look amazing. I love how simple yet elegant everything looks and I really believe my new site makes it easy for my clients to navigate. If anyone is thinking of switching their theme, I highly recommend Flothemes.”

“I’ve been using Flothemes since I started wedding photography, 6 years ago. Each and every year, when the season is off, I take time to change everything on my website. Each and every year, I’m coming back to Flothemes because they’re just innovating all the time! And this year is no exception.
When I saw that they launched their new Flexthemes, I knew I had to use one of them ! Possibilities are almost infinite. That’s crazy! I mean, I’m definitely not a coder, so having the chance to imagine and build my website in a few clicks or drag and drops seemed more than exciting!
So, I took time to think about what I wanted, to find great inspirations from outside the wedding industry and wedding photographers’ websites. Then I started to work on it. It took me only 3 weeks to finish it, where it could have taken me one year or two of learning code and trying to build something different from what I’m used to see in this industry.
In two words? Easy and flexible!”

“Working with Flexthemes was the first time I felt truly free to design exactly what I wanted for my website. The included layouts and blocks in the theme are an amazing starting point, but things really hit another level when you make the most of FlexBlock. I found, early one, that I could do whatever I wanted to, and suddenly everything and anything was possible.
Much, much easier to bring my new brand to life than any other site builder I’ve used. Feedback has been amazing since I launched. Absolute game-changer!”

“The Flextheme I used was SO easy to tweak and match to my branding. Everything is customizable which made for a site that felt all my own!
I LOVE how my site turned out. It feels like me, sounds like me, and, best of all, I could do it all myself. I get comments often on my website from clients about how helpful it was for them to get to know me and my process. 10/10 recommend!”

“I just moved to the new Pronto theme and have to say, it is amazing!
Little walkthrough: at first I was quite angry about paying another subscription, but I couldn’t resist. I bought it at, like, 10 PM and my new website was running back at 2 AM. It actually took me 4 hours to get everything working again.
The migration tool is perfect. I really love how easy the new work process is, it’s so much intuitive and easy to move things around. There is a short learning process about setting header and footer but after that everything else is fast and easy.
Thank you Flothemes for making another perfect tool that improves ours business marketing. See you! And move to Pronto whenever you can!”

“I’ve been using Flothemes websites for the better part of my career, and I am constantly amazed at the compliments I receive on my website. Their themes are clean, modern, and easy to navigate. Not to mention the great customer support I receive from the entire team. I’d highly recommend Flothemes to any creatives looking to elevate their brand!”

“We’ve been using Flothemes for many years and it’s really great to see continued evolution especially with Flex. It allows us to design without limitation – that’s the customization we need so that we can continue evolving our brand and offerings. I love that the themes and design elements are always growing with better functionality and new features, that’s the sign of a great product.
The support is also really great – that made a big difference when we were getting into the details or launching and needed some things figured out ASAP. The Facebook group is amazing too, always helpful responses from other users or someone on the Flo team.”

“As a visual person, I’ve always found it easier to express myself through images and diagrams rather than through text, so when it came to writing that very important piece of content for my own website, the About Me page, I kept postponing it for months, always pushing it further down on my ‘To Do’ list just because I was dreading the idea of writing a few sentences about myself.
However, everything changed once Flothemes introduced FlexBlock and their Flexthemes soon after! With the help of these tools I was able to enjoy so much freedom and flexibility in creating just about anything that I wanted – on both desktop and mobile versions of my website – without worrying about code and instead just concentrating on what I love most: the visuals. The About Me page has become the one I’m most proud of as it is no longer a dusty boring page buried among others, but one that can speak of me and my personality, something that I always wanted to achieve but never entirely could.
One week or so after launching my new website using Flothemes, not only was I contacted and booked by an ideal couple, but they also insisted on congratulating me for my website, mentioning the About Me page which they felt was original and made them even more interested in reaching out! How great is that?”

“We found the new Flexthemes so intuitive to create your website, they made the actual process fun and 100% customisable.”

“As a creative person, I am always tinkering and trying to discover how to make things more personal, more creative, and more unique for my business. After over a year of research, I decided to go with Flothemes because they not only appeared to give you a user-friendly and adaptable website template but also give you the freedom to break from that template.
You can use the template as a foundation to create a new beautiful, custom layout that looks so much better than a CSS customized block, or spacer-based website creator.
I didn’t have the time or capacity to learn the full set-up myself, so I bought the Pro package which helped the website get on its feet. From there, I made something truly beautiful and representative of my brand. Then the Flo team took that site, optimized it, and helped me prepare for launch. I think the most helpful aspect of the process was learning more about SEO and having the team install and explain Yoast to me so that I can be more intentional about the copy on the website.”

“Flothemes is the perfect platform for creatives. As a new Flothemes user, I loved the look and feel of their new Lyra theme, but I wasn’t sure what to expect about learning the platform and getting my website created in a timely fashion. I couldn’t believe how incredibly easy the transition was! I learned so much quickly and easily through their staggering amount of video and written tutorials, located both on their website and within the FloLaunch plug-in. When I couldn’t find an answer, the Facebook group and support team were incredibly responsive and helpful.
I bought the Advanced set-up package because I’m not super technical and didn’t want to lose any existing content migrating my site over, and I’m so happy I had experts help me along the way. While I still had to build my site from scratch, I found the FlexTheme blocks easy to learn and use, and the possibilities are literally endless! Customizing the Lyra website for my business and brand with new colors and fonts truly make my website unique, and it took me only two weeks!
I’ve gotten fantastic feedback from clients and fellow photographers saying it’s so clear, fast, responsive, and “me” – and that’s a win-win!”

“I use a lot of different mediums when photographing, so it’s always been difficult for me to feel like I can include and highlight them all together cohesively in the way that I imagine. While building my new site with a FlexTheme I felt like I could create anything I could dream up. It was incredible. What I’ve ended up with is a website that is the most aligned with the vision I have for my work.”

“I have been building websites with Flothemes for the past 3+ years and I truly cannot emphasize enough how tangible and approachable they make the entire process. As someone who’s a visual artist & gets frustrated with the little details (aka coding!) this is an absolute win… because ZERO coding is required!
Recently, as some of you may know, I went through a full re-brand on my entire website and this is my favorite project I’ve done yet!!!”

“Flothemes really helped us build our desired website with the minimum effort. The themes offer flexibility, various options and give us the tools to build a fully customizable website which would represent our brand.
We recently switched to Verso, one of the new FlexThemes. We felt that its modern and minimal aesthetics would truly represent our style. It took us a bit more time to fully comprehend its abilities and options, but once we learnt how it works we loved the flexibility it offers.
We feel that the end result really represents our work.”

“I’m not a WordPress pro, however with Flexthemes I had the opportunity to create a stunning website without writing any HTML code. With Flexthemes, I had infinite combination to create a personal design on every page of my site, and this is a big plus for me.
Honestly, now I feel better than before because I’ve got a great website that fully reflects my personality and talks about my world. Apart from that, I have surely improved my professional image in the eyes of customers. I feel good when I see my new website, and I love the minimal and clean design.”

I just love the style and all the different possibilities Flothemes has to offer. Those unique high-end design templates are something that other providers don’t have.

“Flothemes offers the best themes I’ve ever used – and I’ve used and tried a LOT! The setup is super easy, especially for people who aren’t into HTML, CSS or anything else with tricky letter/number lines. The customer service is amazing! I’ve written them a few times and always received an answer and a solution within half an hour. I already built my 4th website with Flothemes and I’ll use their themes forever. Thank you Flothemes – you are great!”

Also, their support team is very quick to reply and always willing to help if you are having any trouble. The Facebook Community is a great resource as well. They continually work to update and improve their already awesome products. I will always recommend Flothemes!”

“So I just redid my whole site in 1 day with VELVET using the FloLaunch plugin (I was switching from a random theme that was hard to use). Wow wow WOW I thought for sure something would break and I’d have to start from scratch but everything went super smooth and the amount of documentation that is provided with one of these themes is outstanding, so easy to follow!
The new site is now live and ready to serve my clients! I’ve never had a theme that is so versatile and able to grow WITH my brand. I only wish I had committed to Flothemes sooner. 100% worth it.”

“Flothemes made every theme I’ve used since starting my business. First with original Crowd, then LVY II and now FlexTheme Elise. I chose Elise because I liked the styling and balance of images and text in the theme templates. In addition to being beautifully designed, the new FlexBlock allows me to tweak each block design to perfectly work with my specific words and images.
Instead of making my work fit into the theme, it feels like a collaboration and really gives life to my brand. I’m so in love with the end result.”

“FlexBlock is a game changer! I can now make my own changes to my site and have them look good without having to search through code, etc! The first time I’ve built my site with Flothemes, I opted for the full set up, and they were great about getting my vision down until it was perfect.
This time around I chose to do this myself, but every time I run into a question, customer service is super helpful and timely in answering my questions! I would recommend Flothemes to anyone looking for a clean, stylish website without all the hassles of setting up a website usually come with!”
Nici Schwab | Wedding Photographer

“I really loved working with Flothemes. The whole process of building my new website was so fast and easy and now I am totally happy with the result.
At the beginning it was very helpful to have the FloLaunch Plugin, so my old website was still online while I was working on my new one. I picked the Verso theme because I really liked the clean style and its pre-built layouts. I used the FlexBlock to build the different parts of my website. It is easy to use and you are completely free with your design.
For me, the biggest advantage is that with Flothemes you can get a beautiful, modern website even if you are not a designer. But you can also realize your own ideas if you want to, and adjust everything to your corporate design.“

“I was always reluctant to spend that kind of money on a WordPress theme. I changed my mind with Lyra and the FlexThemes block system. Intuitive, professional, very freeing. You can build anything, and it always looks good (even if you are like me, and know nothing about web design).”

We’ve purchased 7 themes over the years, so you can tell we love them! We love our new Lyra theme and the flexibility we have to design it. The new FlexBlock is also a game changer and lets us make things more personal and unique too. Love it!”

I’m really impressed with all the new features that come with the new themes. FlexBlock is a game changer and I’m super stoked to have all this extra flexibility when it comes to updating my website.”

I used Velvet and it took me over a month to build it and make it my very own, but I’m so so proud of it and happy with the result!

“At first, I built my website with VIVI, a Legacy Theme, so Flothemes was with me since day one. While Vivi was a very limited theme and WordPress backend was not very flexible, the transition to the new Lyra theme and FlexTheme building system was a day to night transformation.
With Lyra it was incredibly easy to apply new layouts. You do, however, need to watch tutorials (which are perfect in length and amount of information), and dig around. No site building is fast, and it requires a lot of effort and time doing it on your own.
However Flothemes is full of Q&As and help. The most fundamental help is, of course, support team! The support team was able to fix minor details in a blink of an eye. Overall, I am very satisfied with the way I rebranded and with how minor changes can be done easily.”

“I have been working with Flothemes since 2018 for my photography business, and it just keeps getting better. The more I progress, the more my website develops with me.
As a Brand Photographer, it was important to create a website that showcased my beliefs and amazing client stories. So it was an easy choice to pick Mono theme with my designer Victoria O’May – she was able to visually express my brand with completely custom Flex blocks! It was unbelievable how many options we had to play with and Victoria made use of it all, crafting something unique to Megan Arina. The easy interface of Mono and Flexblocks means I can also make changes myself if needed in the future (exciting!). Now I’m able to say that my website is an accurate representation of my essence, personality, and beautiful work! I’m so excited to share my new Brand Photography website to the world – thank you <3″
