Conclusion
At last, Hestia is a fully responsive theme adaptable to any kind of screen. It is a good theme for an online store as it is compatible with WooCommerce and it has sleek designs for your product showcase. Its mega menu and infinite scrolling feature also help a lot to build a large menu for your online shops.
For blog and review sites, Hestia provides an author section, extra layouts and you can also control which post can appear on your page.
It is both beginners and developers friendly and packed with rich features, so I think you should give this theme a try. You can always get a free version, so you determine if this theme is suitable for you or not by yourself.
