For $79 which is an absolute premium price, I expected at least to have the footers and headers in an elementor component but all you get is a code window with no preview. It's lazy coding, also there were not very many components and the contact form was missing from the demo code. The theme was not worth the price. Also, once you install the plugins the booking plugin informs you that it no longer exists and directs you to a site to pay an additional $49, "it does install but there will never be updates". I encourage anyone buying a template to check out it's performance on Google page speed as SEO is important and this is a good base gauge.

Hello,
We are sorry to hear that you've got this impression.
The theme was designed and developed to use header and footer templates by the theme. All of the features showcased in the demo and listed in the Theme Features list can be achieved with the theme options, custom shortcodes by the theme and free version of Elementor.
There is no need to modify code in order to edit header and footer. You can adjust header and footer layout options in PaulHair Core Options > Header and PaulHair Core Options > Footer. Menus can be adjusted in Appearance > Menus. Header Widget Areas can be edited in Appearance > Widgets as well as Footer Widget Areas. For a more detailed overview of available widgets and widget areas please check this section of documentation.
The contact forms are available with the demo import. To get them it is necessary to activate Contact Form 7 plugin prior to demo import. If you forgot to activate this plugin this could be reason why the contact forms are missing on your installation.
The authors of Booked plugin are no longer supporting this plugin, however, since this plugin is included with the theme it is supported by us.
Please note that for our demo site, we haven't done specific site speed optimization because the main accent was put on showing all the features and elements from the theme, as well as keeping the highest quality of the photos.
There are many ways and tricks for improving WordPress site speed and you can see some of our recommendations in this article.
A good hosting server is also very important for the site's performance and you can see our recommendations regarding those in this article - Recommended PHP Versions And Resources And How To Set Them.
To adjust theme performance please navigate to Appearance > Customize > Qode Performance and there you can enable/disable icon packs, custom post types, widgets and shortcodes which you don't plan on using. This should have a positive effect to the overall performance of your site.
We always give advice to our users in support tickets when they build a site in our theme, what steps they should take in order to improve the speed.
If you need any assistance with the theme or theme options you should know that you can always turn to our support team and our support agents will be happy to help. To submit a ticket please follow instructions from this article - How To Submit A Ticket.
