If you are using non English language(es):

"Most Popular" sentence is not present in the default language packs. We need to add it manually.

Open file directory where your magento is. Go to "app/design/frontend/default/grayscale/localle/"

There is a "en_US/translate.csv" directory there. Copy it to any locale you need and edit "translate.csv" file.

It holds this text:

"Most Popular","Most Popular"

You need to change it to:

"Most Popular","[[Most popular in your language]]"

Note that file encoding should be UTF8.

Testimonials

I've been shopping around doing alot of comparison to find the best them for my new online store. I found these guys and wow couldn't believe my eyes. The theme looks so clean and match very well for my kids and beauty store. It works right out of the box without modification. I'm not a tech savvy or know how to code Magento so this is a big plus for me. Everything is ready to go after installed. Not to mention their tech support Live Chat was very helpful.

It was a great template to work with.

I think the feeling that you really understood what a Pharmacy/ Beauty oriented shopping needs are. I have looked at many many web templates. The designers are smart people, no doubt about that but was always missing was that subtle hint that they really did not have that much of deep understanding of specific industries that they were building themes for. So, that makes a world of difference to see somebody actually has spend some time understanding your sector's specific needs.

I do not expect a 100% perfect template but i am going to appreciate and of course do business with somebody that at least has tried to show me that level of expertise plus understanding of my business needs that i expect. I am very excited and i hope that be a good costumer for you and you be a good vendor for me.
