Review Microthemer?
Reviewers describe Microthemer as a reliable, long-term WordPress CSS tool that makes visual styling faster and easier, especially for people who are rusty with CSS or still learning. The most repeated benefits are instant front-end feedback, point-and-click editing, easier selector targeting, smoother handling of media queries and breakpoints, and less back-and-forth with devtools or saved stylesheets. Users also say it works well across themes and builders, avoids site bloat or visitor-side slowdown, and is backed by unusually responsive, thoughtful support and steady updates from its developer.

Long-time user and fan of both the product and Sebastian, its developer. Microthemer is an incredibly well-thought-out tool that provides new users a great platform for learning CSS and more importantly leveraging CSS to accomplish their design goals very quickly and effectively. There are a number of really good tools in the CSS editor space but over the years Microthemer has been able to sustain its differentiation as simply a more polished and professional tool and Sebastian's total passion and commitment to a great user experience and ultimate user success just makes it a no-brainer!

WebWorX, thanks so much for the generous review. I'm super glad to hear that you're happy with the way Microthemer has evolved over the years. And that you rate it as a tool for beginners to learn as they go.
Ive been a user since November 2021. I can remember pre-purchase thinking if I really needed this tool or not. Im very glad I proceeded with the purchase. I consider Microthemer to be the swiss army knife for my wordpress installations. It has solved many many small problems for me that I couldnt get done with the theme alone. A nice side benefit of Microthemer is that as I used it for a while, I started slowly picking up bits of additional knowledge about CSS.
On a side note I have had to reach out to Sebastian the author a couple of times and his support is really excellent. I use many wordpress plugins and themes and get what I would consider to be 'good' support mostly. But I would classify the support with Microthemer as 'excellent'.

I have used Microthemer for many years to easily customize WordPress themes in a visual, point and click way and I love it! Themes can vary so much and the learning curve can be steep but with Microthemer I don't have to worry. Just click and even the most hard to reach element can be changed. It didn't cause bloat to my sites or slow them down either. I use it to change button colors or fonts and things like that. Very satisfied and I highly recommend to anyone even if they are not a UI coding expert but they need a highly customized, good looking WordPress site!
Hey Sara, thanks for the review. It's awesome to hear that Microthemer simplifies the process of making style changes to a variety of themes. And most importantly, that you're a satisfied customer!
NUMBER ONE plugin, when it comes to styling my pages in WP.
I would like to consider my self as one of the early adopters of MicroThemer - dating back to March 2017. And since then I never had a need to look for something else. It's a plugin I do install it on every fresh WP installs.
I do use it for special GRID styling, when I need to do some "funny" grids that overlap, styling forms plugins (mainly Gravity Forms), find which element to style (especially if the builder you use creates unnecessary divs/wrappers) and much more.
Oh ... and let's not forget the support. Sebastian is very fast in responding and very helpful. Please, don't even ask me how many times I've emailed him with things, that turned out to be an "user error" or ... occasionally lack of CSS knowledge on my side :) :) :)
So, to sum it up - it's a great plugin with great support.

Hey Zdenek, I really appreciate the detailed review, and getting to know you in the forum over all these years! Engaged users make me smile. I'm always happy to help out.
This is a great plugin in the WordPress ecosystem. Whatever a theme or a builder is missing on the html and css side I can easily cover with Microthemer. Never had any issues with it messing with the changes on the site after updates or likes.
I highly recommended this tool to anyone trying to step up from some kind of html and css limitations on their website or even if you are trying to learn stuff.
The developer is very responsive and engaged in his project for quite a few years now so it's a tool you will be using a long time after you buy it.
Only good stuff from my side.

Hey Cristian, thanks so much for the glowing review. And for flagging that Microthemer is often useful for offering extra design control when a style change isn't supported by another content/style editing tool. Take care!
I have been a long time user of MicroThemer, originally buying it back in 2016. I have seen the hard work and continuous improvement that have been put in over those years, and now MicroThemer is one of the best CSS styling plugins for WordPress. It's mature, reliable, efficient, and easy to use. I therefore highly recommend MicroThemer if you are looking to style WordPress themes easily, quickly, and without code.

Thanks so much for the recommendation @colin_c! I'm super happy to have you as customer for such a long time. I really appreciate you stopping by to share your experience of Microthemer.
I cannot recommend Microthemer enough! This point-and-click CSS editor plugin is easy to use. Even though I have some development experience, this tool helps take my designs to the next level without hours of coding and testing. The granular control it offers is impressive - from tweaking font styles to changing border colours, everything is just a click away!
I personally use Microthemer for its SASS-functionality. It is so convenient and works so well that this is a default part of my WordPress stack. scss partials can easily be mimicked with the folder functionality. You can easily turn on/off parts of the scss. Reloading is instant as you type, so no saving to see what you're doing. Overall a fantastic product.
Thanks so much for your review @webmaticdesign. I really appreciate it. And I'm really glad to hear that you've found Microthemer to be an effective live Sass editor. Nice application of folders to create partials too!
It makes Gutenberg usable.
It solves the 2 biggest pains. The lack of breakpoints and the ability to see live changes. So, whatever you do, it reflects accurately at the front end. Use the panel, write CSS or SASS, you don't need to save+reload to see applied the changes.
For Gutenberg is a must-buy.
The dev is very friendly and nice. Just buy it ;)
Hey Imanol, thanks so much for the review. And for flagging the benefits of using Microthemer to style Gutenberg content. I'm pleased to here the Sass editing feature is helpful too. Take care!

As a director of creative and production at our recruitment communications agency, I don't spend as much time as I'd like tweaking pages on the front end. As a result, I get html/css-rusty. I used to say thank goodness for GoogleUniversity.
Now I'm a MicroThemer.
The best early-adopter purchase in my arsenal, by far.
Thanks

All the best,
