Calendarize It! | - a powerful Calendar and Event plugin for WordPress Review of the Ultimatum Theme for WordPress Update – September 18, 2014 After gaining some more experience with Ultimatum, I’m hesitant to recommend it for a few reasons. Here’s my response to Nathan in the comments below regarding Ultimatum vs Headway: Like with any theme builder, it’s going to be more on the bloated side.

Then, if you followed the comments (170 of them!), you’ll notice that I started getting some interesting feedback about their support forums.
