I have actually never bought a product online and had the seller reach out and support me with problems not even related to his product to help me finish up websites when I got stuck. Amazing support and elements hive took breakdance to a new level with add-ons that aren’t seen on any websites in my region allowing me to create websites that stand out in comparison to other designers around here. Very thankful for elements hive and Moussa!

One of the best plugins for Breakdance without any doubt. Besides, the customer support is exceptional. I’ve had a couple of problems and it immediately solved them. A worthwhile investment if you want to go to another level. Thank you, Moussa for your work and assistance.
