News

It’s been a while since you heard from us regarding upcoming themes. The themes that have been previewed earlier have all been released, about time we preview some of the upcoming stuff here at Templatic.

Vacation Home Rental is a theme targeted towards helping you create a quick, professional website for your vacation home. This is not a giant portal but instead, a theme built specifically for the home owner.

The theme will let you list your vacation home or property with all the nifty features you would expect in such a site. However, we are not 100% sure whether we should include the booking module into this one like our earlier Hotel Booking theme? Please comment in here and let us know.

You all know we recently released a professional e-Commerce theme called StoreBox. However, possibilities in this niche are endless and here’s the two more themes that we are working on (pictured above and below this text). We decided to cover both angles with these two, as you can see one of them features light, straightforward design while the other is very rich with content, much like StoreBox.

Other than these three themes, there are some other niche specific themes we are working on but preview of them is coming up later.

As usual, feel free to use the comments section below to share your ideas and opinions about the themes previewed in here.

Considering heaps of mobile and tablet devices sprouting up all over the place, there is no denial that the Responsive web design is the way to go. Sketching such a layout takes a lot of brainstorming and involves strategic analysis of ‘what-goes-where’ when the view-port changes, however, the end result is always fascinating and in favor of the user. The trend has subtly entered into WordPress too and we are keen on adopting it as early as possible. So, yes, here it is – Responsive WP Portfolio theme.

In this age and day, ‘always-accessible‘ online presence is of prime importance and professionals like you would definitely want to provide optimum experience to your customers irrespective of the device they use. This theme caters to this crucial need while still maintaining the familiarity and flexibility of WordPress. You can create a customizable business portfolio site with beautiful slider and custom widgets in a jiffy. Simply set it up and it will dynamically adjust the layout based on the device used.

Take a look at the demo of the Responsive Business Portfolio theme. Try changing the width and height of your browser windows and see how it ‘responds’! You can even test drive the theme at: test.templatic.com. We hope you like our first Responsive theme. Don’t forget to provide us your feedback.

Last couple of weeks have been pretty exciting here at Templatic. It has become an unspoken norm within our team to create more and more niche themes specifically targeted at a particular group / community of users. Of course, our users have played a tremendous role in encouraging us doing so. You have liked our previous niche themes and here we are again, presenting a brand new theme for publishers, book authors and artists to sell digital products – Publisher theme for WordPress.

Publisher is a WordPress theme built for those who wish to showcase and sell digital products online – be it PDF eBooks, audio CDs, DVDs, etc. Book authors can sell their work online with this theme. Music companies can enlist their albums, offer previews as a downloadable file of their songs and sell albums. It is a theme that caters to individuals who aim to earn money by selling digital products.

Here are some of the nice features of this theme:

• Sell unlimited products: You can enlist as many digital products as you want and sell them online.
• E-Junkie integration: We have seamlessly integrated E-Junkie digital download system along with secure native download. Users can easily select any of the two methods to manage sales.
• Secured downloads: We’ve implemented all that’s necessary to secure your uploaded files. Users will be able to download them only after the payment is done.
• PayPal support: Payments for your digital products are handled through PayPal gateway, so you know it’s safe.
• 1 theme for all: Although we’re calling it ‘Publisher’, this theme can be used by individual book authors, small music companies, artists, etc. who wish to sell digital products online.

We have tried to streamline the product management in the back-end as much as possible. You can add new products, specify details using custom fields like Artist/Author’s name, profile link, price, publishing date, language, etc. As I mentioned, you can offer either native selling or off-site selling or both. Apparently, you can specify different prices and download links for each of them. Buyers can easily select the type they want and proceed with the payment process. You can list unlimited sites for off-site selling. E-Junkie digital download system has been seamlessly integrated within the Publisher theme to provide you maximum benefits.

A dedicated short-code [tabber] has been implemented for you to easily create different tabbed sections like ‘Description’, ‘Custom reviews’, ‘Author Info’, etc on product detail pages. Viewers can rate your product and leave feedback. Buyers are provided with their own buyer dashboard where they can view and download previous purchases and manage their account settings. Like most of our themes, there are many custom widgets packed into this theme and the homepage is entirely widgetized.

While it almost looks like one, Publisher is not an eCommerce theme. So you won’t find most of the features of our eCommerce themes. However, we hope that you like it and provide us your valuable feedback. Please check out the demo and test drive the theme for free before purchase.
