Enfold 4.6 Release and Late Birthday Sale

We have been notified by our users that we nearly missed another Enfold Birthday…

While working on the next version of Enfold we nearly missed another of it’s birthdays. Shame on us!! Enfold turned 6 this year, which is quite amazing! As always we want to celebrate this with a short birthday sale and a new release :) We slashed the price by more than 33% for a limited time so grab a copy here before its to late.

In order to make the sale happen we have released this version as a major maintenance release with a ton of smaller features, improvements and bugfixes. New demos will be added shortly in a subsequent release but we didn’t want to wait any longer :)
