To bridge the gap between Templatic staff and you guys Bhavesh decided to hire a community manager – me. My name is Vedran Fak, I am 23 years old and come from Croatia, a small European country. I will be at your service with any questions you might have. Templatic themes, staff, website, the weather- you can ask me/talk to me about anything. I am at your service most of the day at vedran@templatic.com, Skype (vedran.fak) or on Twitter @vfak

I have been using WordPress for around three years and have created a number of sites during that time. I have experience in programming (various languages), SQL and of course HTML/CSS. I am an administrator on a relatively small gaming site for a couple of years now so I am familiar with basics of community management; this knowledge will undoubtedly come in handy here at Templatic. Those of you who share my love towards gaming know that you can always add me as a friend on PSN. My ID is duude88.

I have a great deal of learning and work in front of me, but I am looking forward to every bit of it. My mission is to make everyone’s life at least a wee bit easier. I will not have all the answers all the time, but I give you my word – your questions and ideas will never go unanswered.

I am looking forward to meeting you guys! Please use the comments below to ask whatever comes to your mind.

Kind regards
Vedran

We’ve tested our themes on WordPress 3.2 and are glad that they are all working as they should. In a rare event, if you find any issues with any of our themes, please let us know via our helpdesk and we’ll sort it out.

The strategically planned, fully widgeted homepage lets you manage all the sections as per your choice. The homepage highlights a sleek image slider for you to showcase your business center facilities and services. Also the theme contains many other custom built widgets built specifically for service business such as “Special offers”, “Business hours”, “Appointment Booking form”, “Contact Information”, “Social media” etc.

Each of the inner pages in this theme lets you set a full width banner image matching that particular page / service and of course, it supports standard blogging system of WordPress so you can start your spa business blog, communicating with end-user.

Manage services, Book Appointments, Charge for it

Add/Edit/Delete the services you provide and manage appointments for those services. The intuitive admin panel of the theme lets you to accept, reject and further manage booking requests. Once you accept/reject a request, the customer will be notified via email, too. Additionally, you can manually add a booking request received via offline media. ‘Spa Salon’ theme will become an ultimate booking managing tool for your spa salon business before you know it.

You can even set prices for the appointment for each of those services and can accept payment directly in your PayPal account. This way, you get serious, confirmed appointments only and not just general inquiries. Once the booking is done, that time slot will no longer be shown to anyone else in the front-end of the site.

Just in case you wish to only charge only some % of the full price, you can set this as well from the wp-admin > spa-salon theme settings.

Just like many of our themes, Spa Salon, too, comes with 5 beautiful color schemes.

When I first saw the homepage with the ‘book appointment’ form, I was literally awe-struck. That was exactly what I wanted. A custom-editable site with an appointment form where I could manage approve, reject and manage appointment requests from clients. My curiosity increased and I logged-in to the admin panel on my test site to check the back-end possibilities. To ease the setup, there is an auto-install option which populates sample data to start with, which is quite cool. I went on to edit the booking form as per my requirements and what’s nice about it is that, I could add/edit/delete any number of fields without any limitation whatsoever. However, I thought it’d be wise to keep the fields to a minimum in order not to overwhelm my site visitors. It hardly took me an hour to setup my site.

There’s a cool ‘My work’ section where I can list my previous works, a ‘Services’ section to list my services and a blog. Did I mention that the home page is entirely widgetized? There are all sorts widgets for setting up my location on a Google Map, closing hours, availability, etc. There is also an option where I can add an appointment manually for a client who sent his request via some other offline medium. Payments can be accepted via PayPal. Must say, Templatic has developed this theme very thoughtfully, keeping in mind the requirements of vast majority of professionals. I am definitely going to buy this theme.”
