Final Thoughts
Vikinger is a solid, multifunctional HTML template designed for social networking and eCommerce. With its endless possibilities of customization, gamified features, full-fledged user profiles, and in-depth marketplace functions, this template helps to establish a perfect online community. Whether it is a social website or an e-commerce one, Vikinger provides for such construction.
I give it 3 stars because it has a very good design but the documentation is very bad, customizing this template is very difficult, also some basic pages of every website are missing.
You just can’t do anything dynamically with the hexes and badge advancement percentage unless you recreate everything behind it. The more I try to use this template the more problems I discover. Those hexagons, nice as they look, are a nightmare to reproduce in any dynamic fashion. Also, it feels like in an effort to not use jquery, you basically wrote your own jquery light which is a bunch of your own functions (app.function) that just make things more difficult. You should have just used jquery.
There is nothing worse than buying uncommented code but man you took commenting to a whole new level, literally every single element has an opening and closing comment. There are more comments than code, which is actually making it harder to follow. You comment every last line of HTML but no comments on the JavaScript at all. The mobile menu is just horrific, basically puts all 3 menus into one oversized menu on mobile. Speaking of mobile, your idea of responsive is to just hide half the content on smaller screens rather than reposition or resize it.
It’s still a nice looking template but it’s really a pain to pull apart and work with. This template has great potential, but it’s “dead” already. The author is updating only the WordPress version. One of the most comprehensive social network templates available. Clean and consistent design, sensible use of colour, tons of widgets that you can use as is or customise to your needs.
This template takes modern gamification design to a whole new level. I bought the PSD template to support the author and the progress of the HTML development, and I was not disappointed. I bought 95 items on Envato so far, but this is the most astonishing, unique, and playful-but-professional design I’ve ever seen. Congratulations on this work, and I wish you many sales.
I am thankful for finally coming across a template I’m actually excited to work with because it is unique yet also of the highest professional quality. Seriously, I was expecting some basic HTML and CSS, but to see an entire design system, custom assets, and even hand-built JavaScript plugins to add to the gamification feel – pleasantly surprised! The only criticism is the feature I most want to use, the hexagon plugin, is very difficult to understand and use outside the provided demo template. Nevertheless, this still deserves 5 stars for the amazing attention to detail and value for money. Look forward to more releases from this author.
Beautiful and responsive modern design. It perfectly supports any device, which made it easy for me to start developing a new service. Also, customer support is quick to respond and does a great job with customer questions and requests. I love it.
Beautiful theme; please continue working on it! I’m really looking forward to some new pages, such as corporate pages.
Honestly, Odin Design has once again outdone themselves. This is a beautiful template that is well commented and coded.
