I seriously love your site.. Very nice colors & theme. Did you develop this site yourself? Please reply back as I’m looking to create my own site and would like to find out where you got this from or exactly what the theme is called. Thank you!

The site was built by me using WordPress with Elementor and using the Astra theme. But I watched a two-hour youtube video (a few times) by this awesome guy named Tyler Moore.
