@Manillaboy I just bought Avada and am going to use it on a music site I run and then a corporate site if that works well. I want to get the feel of it before using it for two more sites I am working on, one that is a jobs board with a directory and one which is essentially a directory only.
Because GD will be compatible out of the box with Avada I decided to give it a try and get some experience with it. It is extremely flexible and has some really cool features. It is also Buddypress and Woocommerce compatible which is important for me. I am just waiting on the word that GD is compatible with it before I work on the GD part.
I will hopefully have the jobs board site with the directory up within the next month or so.
