QualityHesitated before buying; needed for my back. Helps, not perfect.
Didn’t expect much, got a solid theme
Didn’t expect much, got a solid theme
QualityBought a theme from this marketplace kind of on a whim, even though I’d been burned by other places before. The theme itself surprised me — light-weight, loads fast, and actually easy to tweak; I was changing colours and layouts within an hour. Installer was straightforward, the demo imports worked, and the finished site feels professional without feeling overblown. Support replied in a couple of messages and helped sort a setting, nothing dramatic. Price wasn’t cheapest but felt fair for what you get. Small hiccups, but overall pleasantly surprised and glad I tried it.
Theme dud, refund was the small win
Theme dud, refund was the small win
QualityI was half asleep setting up a site for my partner’s little online shop — we needed something fast because we’d just moved and the physical market stuff wasn’t cutting it — when the theme I bought just crashed on activation. Fatal PHP errors, missing core files, and it leaned on KingComposer Pro, which I later learned was pulled from WP.org in 2022 for security reasons. At first I felt stupid and stuck; I’m not a developer, I just wanted a workable storefront after a bad run with a previous theme that caused downtime. Envato’s initial “no refunds on digital products” reply left me pretty annoyed, but after I sent clear screenshots, error logs and quoted parts of their policy, they finally issued the refund. That is the moment I breathed out and knew it was over for me — getting my money back felt like being made whole, and when I installed a different, reputable theme it actually worked right away (minor tweaks needed, but nothing fatal). Still, it’s worrying the broken theme is still listed months later and my warning comments vanished quickly. So yeah, not perfect — customer service took effort and the marketplace clearly needs better checks — but getting the refund and a working theme made me satisfied enough to move on.

QualityEnvato Elements is like this amazing hidden treasure for us creative folks, ya know? The amount of stuff you can find on there is mind-blowing, and every time I dive in, I'm blown away by the top-notch quality. When I'm kicking off a new project, I can always count on Envato Elements to hook me up with exactly what I need. I've put so many of my creative homies onto this sweet find, and every single one of them has been just as stoked as I am. Whether it's graphics, stock photos, or templates, this place seriously has everything you could ever need.
Themeforest and codecanyon purchase
Themeforest and codecanyon purchase
QualityI've had some ups and downs with my buys from Envato. My theme from Themeforest was solid, but the stuff I got from codecanyon was a letdown. All three items I snagged didn't do what they were supposed to, and now I'm out of pocket. Sellers gotta step up and keep their products in check, plus give clear instructions.

QualityAs a regular customer of Envato, let me tell you that Elements went above and beyond my expectations. The range of assets they offer is unbelievable, and the quality is exceptional. It's like a goldmine for us creative folks, with all sorts of stuff like graphics, templates, music, and video assets. It's basically my go-to place for anything creative, and I'm thrilled with my decision to buy it.

QualityI picked up some really neat stuff, but I find that the music and sound effects could use more choices. Their videos could be improved to be more like other websites. It would also be helpful to have simpler options for beginners.

QualityEnvato is like, the best resource for content that I've come across. It's fun, easy to use, and the quality is top-notch. I've bought stuff from other sites that sell music, sound effects, and images, but Envato takes it to the next level. The stuff I find there is even better than what I was looking for, which makes my creative projects way easier and more enjoyable. The process for getting licenses is simple, and I really appreciate the info they give about YouTube content ID's and P.R.O affiliations. Shopping on Envato is a piece of cake, and honestly, I kinda love scrolling through their market to find new stuff.
Game developer music

QualityAs a game developer, I gotta say the music selection on this platform is just amazing, eh? There's such a huge variety to choose from, so it's great for all sorts of game styles and vibes. It's super easy to find the right soundtrack for any project, which is awesome. The pricing for different uses is fair and easy to understand, which is a big help for me since I’m watching my budget. The quality of the music is top-notch, and I've never been let down by any of my purchases, eh?
So many cool resources!
