“A real time saver”
The patterns are well thought out, a real time saver and an inspiration for your own explorations. I’m sure that for many WordPress users the Ollie theme will be one of the first block themes they try. And probably the last. It’s that good.

“Blazing fast”
I am using Ollie since the beginning on several WordPress websites that I own and I can say that the theme is blazing fast and it helps edit my website with FSE easily.

“The future of WordPress”
Ollie maps what the full site editor is trying to do, making WordPress the site builder, leveraging on patterns, unbloating from heavy page builders that each go into a separate direction.
