The whole templatic team is working passionately on creating better and better themes on various niche every day and is always busy designing & coding themes and providing tech support.

As you all know, the templatic office is proudly located in India and It’s the time of the year here where we do have Diwali – a nation wide festival of 5 days. As per the tradition, this occasion is celebrated as hindu new year.

We have designed a cool wallpaper that can be previewed here in this post. Download the zip file here (size: 2mb). It includes all the sizes for desktop and iphone.

The spirit of celebration is in the air and templatic team too will be celebrating this occasion with full spirit. During this time, templatic office will remain closed for full 5 days (from 4th November to 8th November, 2010).

What this festival is about?

The festival is of total five days. Guess the foreign users would love to know a little bit about this tradition. Here’s brief intro to the full five days.

1. Dhanteras: It is believed to be a very pious and good day to purchase gold, silver and other valuable metals. People buy atleast something on this day.
2. Chopda Pujan: In the evening, all the business people do puja of accounting books for the coming year. And the transaction of their next year is written in these books.
3. Diwali: Last day of the hindu year. The whole country celebrate it at evening by lighting diya (lamp) and firing crackers.
4. New Year: Starting from early morning 5am, people go to temple and then to visit their family, neighborhood and friends, they wish each other new year and take blessings of elder.
5. Bhai Bij: The day is for brothers and sisters. If a sister is married, she invites the brother to her home to take lunch. The whole family take lunch together.

This is kind of our version in short about the celebration and festival. Ofcourse the festival is lot more than what we have just explained in here.

We will come back again in few days – all charged up and bringing better, newer awesomeness your way. Till then, wishing you all a very happy diwali :)

While we are working going back to basics and improving the core of our themes one by one, we thought to provide little teasers to some upcoming themes that has been designed and are under production at templatic office. Here’s quick intro to some of the upcoming themes

Video theme

over the course of past two years, we have released several magazine themes but video theme is something, we have never ventured into. After the recent release of Photocraft which was targeted towards photography, Video is an upcoming theme targeted for people who wish to build video website.

Video theme will be available in few color schemes and some cool widgets. Expect release of this theme soon.

Events theme

We added listing of basic events in recently updated version of GeoPlaces theme. With the Events theme, we are taking events to level best.

Above is a little teaser to the theme. Expect more awesomeness in it with some nifty features. we are sure you’d love the final outcome.

Your input

Please let us know your input and ideas on ideal video and events theme. We might just tweak the themes and final outcome can change. We did this in past and we look forward to do it again :) – themes built with your input via comments

More than a year back we introduced Restaurant theme and Gourmet theme which remains the best WordPress themes for restaurant/cafe business till date. With this latest release of Foodilicious, we are taking it few steps further.

Foodilicious is an advanced WordPress theme created to help you create an out of the box restaurant business website easily. Good thing about it is that it addresses the actual need of a restaurant business website with its strategically placed different elements throughout.

Handles restaurant menu items in most advanced way

Foodilicious has the most advanced menu page template. Each of your menu sections can be displayed in different category and the main menu page shows all your menu sections in expandable format. Not only that, as a web admin, you can chose to keep the menu items in list view or gallery view :)

This is awesome as you can accommodate unlimited food items and still keep them organized and show them easily.

Custom Built Widgets

Like we said, the theme is targeted towards the restaurant and cafe business and it contains lots of custom widgets that you’ll need in your restaurant website. Some of the custom built widgets include auto sliding testimonials, Restaurant Hours, Location Map and Direction, Contact information, Sliding menu widget in the homepage and so on.

It doesn’t do online reservation

Because WordPress shouldn’t do everything? Nope, but because reservation requirement of each restaurant is different. Instead, we recommend creating your own reservation system by using a stable plugin like Gravity Form and have the reservation email sent directly in your mailbox so you can confirm the reservation by directly contacting the persons via email or phone.

Live demo and purchase details

Take a look at the live demo of this theme in action here. For details features and to purchase, head over to official sales page of this theme.

We hope you’ll love this newly introduced theme. We’d love your feedback on this newly released theme via comments because that is how we know what you like and what you don’t :)
