Two Reditters spoke at length about how Avada might hamper a website\u2019s SEO goals.\r\n\r\nThat was too much for us to digest.\r\n\r\nWe were one of the first thousand customers who bought Avada in 2012 and since then, we have seen, analyzed, tweaked and played around with each iteration that the amazing guys at Theme Fusion came up with.\r\n\r\nWe have six personal websites and 9 client websites that run on Avada.

He\u2019s a big fan of Avada and uses it extensively for his own projects and for his clients.\r\n\r\nWhile I use Avada for a few of my own projects, I figured it would be better to get him to do the review as I\u2019m biased towards <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinemarketingwisdom.com\/wordpress\/themes\/divi-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Divi<\/a>. With the last few <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinemarketingwisdom.com\/get-divi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">major Divi updates<\/a>, I feel Divi is in a league of its own, and not even Avada can compete.\r\n\r\nSo, my review of Avada wouldn\u2019t do it any justice as I\u2019d just end up telling you to get Divi anyway.
