Templatic Review

Detailed Reviews

With over 60 themes (at the time of this writing) and a quick response support team, Templatic provides theme options that are responsive and SEO friendly. The site also provides users the ability to effectively monetize their blog or website. The themes are of average quality in that Templatic's theme supporting framework allows only a low degree of customization.

Niche Themes

Many WordPress theme providers have products that cater to general categories, such as blogs, magazines, portfolios, ecommerce shops, etc. However, many users will attest to the fact that when it comes to theme designs, there is really no one-size-fits-all. Templatic's themes are built keeping in mind the needs of specific businesses. For instance, Real Estate V2 allows home owners and real estate agents to list out properties for rent or sale; the Vacation Rental theme offers rental property owners the ability to promote their vacation villas and apartments; the 5 Star theme supports a booking system and an availability calendar that helps your customers make online reservations. There are also a number of directory themes available for those who need to create an online listings directory.  

Plugins and Directory Add-ons

Besides themes, Templatic also provides a bunch of useful plugins. Categorized under App Plugins, Directory add-ons and Payment Gateways, these plugins help boost online sales, insert advertisement banners and introduce listings directories to make businesses more visible and profitable. If you're an online book store, for example, the Publisher theme along with a PayPal Express Checkout plugin helps your customers select books and make online payments effortlessly. For a hotel or restaurant, the Reviews Manager plugin can help the company manage reviews submitted by its customers. Similarly, the Classifieds plugin can help users manage a classifieds directory.

SEO and Monetization Optimized

Regardless of whether your industry is niche or ubiquitous, you need your website to be SEO friendly, so that your online customers can find you easily. Also, for bloggers and small businesses alike, you may want to include a few advertisement banners on your blog or website to make a little extra side income. Templatic's themes and plugins are coded and designed so that you gain as much search engine exposure as possible. In addition, their theme control panel makes advertising and monetization easy and hassle free. But if you're looking to incorporate additional, high-end functionality to customize your website based on your requirements, then you may need expert assistance or an in-depth knowledge of coding.    

Theme Support

Besides providing users access to an extensive collection of documentation and video tutorials for their themes, Templatic offers technical support through support forums as well via an email ticket system. Pre-sales or billing related inquiries are supported by a separate helpdesk section that requires the submission of a Form.
