Why X Theme? - I have met the folks behind X Theme and they are really good people. Their goal is to deliver a great product that we can use to produce quality websites and they have done just that. X Theme is well supported and maintained. I feel confident building my clients websites in X Theme and Cornerstone knowing that their sites will continue to receive updates.

Why is this course free? - I believe in giving back. Most of my introductory level courses are free because I believe in sharing knowledge with each other. I taught myself how to code by reading articles and by dissecting opensource code. If it was not for this free information, I most likely would not be running Hill Media Group, my online marketing agency.
