Trying to use the themes out of the box is an awful experience

I've been trying and trying to use one theme and moved the necessary folder according to the documentation but it just doesn't work and doesn't work again. Stylesheets don't get loaded and I have to manually change paths of every import...

Why can't you guys make it so that every demo for example is self-contained and self-sufficient? Storage space is not an issue any more nowadays speaking of these scales (maybe 1-2 extra megabytes doesn't hurt if you get much more modular design in return)

My suggestion would be to make it so that for example the "photographer" demo page has a folder "/photographer" and inside that folder should be the html files, the stylesheets, the required js and static assets such as images and logos and icons. I don't care about redundant files if I can in return just "pop" the "photographer" folder right into my server and work on it without moving hundreds of unnecessary files around. Please fix this one issue and I will most definetely fall in love with your work.

Hello,

Apologies about the Inconveniences caused!

I’ve been trying and trying to use one theme and moved the necessary folder according to the documentation but it just doesn’t work and doesn’t work again. Stylesheets don’t get loaded and I have to manually change paths of every import…

If everything according to the Documentation > Start > Niche Demos Section, the Files should work correctly. Can you please provide us with a Live URL so that we can check out the exact issue and provide you with more assistance on this. Thanks for your Patience.

The Niche Demos run on the native style.css and the Main Javascript Files. They run on the Main Files to ensure that all the Elements can be used on every Niche Demo along with the Extra Features/Design Elements provided with a particular Niche Demo. If we create Self Sufficient Folders for each Niche Demo, it would be really really hard and confusing to update the Files correctly. To counter this, we are working on a Package Generator, which would allow you to simply choose the HTML Files needed for your Project and download the Package ZIP along with the CSS/JS/CSS or PHP Files needed for them. This would be available soon. If you need any specific Niche Demo, let us know and we will Generate a Package for you.

Hope this Helps!
