Our goal at Feast Design Co. is to help you get your theme installed and configured like the theme demo site.
We understand that sometimes you'd like to do a bit of customization to make the theme your own, too.
We're happy to help point you in the right direction with simple customizations, but some customization requests require development work that falls outside the scope of our support.
Make sure to read up on our instructions for making customizations to the child themes with the Code Snippets plugin to avoid problems with updating the theme.
Also, continually ask yourself: Why am I making this change?
Customization Partners
If you would like to get hired help, we can recommend the following as knowledgeable and reliable customization services:

WordPress Training
Yoast has a free WordPress training course that every new blogger should take, and even some intermediate bloggers.
We highly recommend WordPress training from OneHappyStudio if you're new to WordPress or are having difficulty with learning the best way to do something. A couple of sessions will skyrocket your technical competence and save you hundreds of hours in the long run.
WordPress Support Plans
If you're generally overwhelmed with managing your WordPress blog (or just don't feel like doing it anymore), you may need ongoing support and maintenance.
We recommend Andrew @ NerdPress.
Custom Website Builds
Our themes started off as full custom website builds costing $10,000's, and have been packaged into pre-configured themes that anybody can use as a starter for $99.
If you need customizations and functionality that aren't a part of our themes, we recommend the following agencies:
- Shay Bocks

- OnceCoupled by Lauren Gray
Prices for custom website builds range from $10,000 to $30,000(+).
