Your themes wanted

Posted September 9, 2008 // Tagged as Announcements, development, wordpress // 8 Comments ↓

Do you promote your rental property / room / hotel online and use WordPress or another CMS system?

Are you using an existing (and downloadable theme) or using a theme based on a downloadable CSS template?

I am looking to put together a collection of the most stylish WordPress themes for rental / hotel or holiday destination websites and need your help.

If you are using an existing (or even slightly modified) theme or know of a site that uses one then please pass along the link. If you know of any CSS templates that have yet to be converted into WordPress themes, then pass those along as well.

Why do I want them?

As well as building a resource list for other readers out there, I am also going to modify a few of them (hence the need for GPL or freely downloadable themes only) to be “StayPress ready” so that there is a collection available for our public release.

If you are a theme designer and have some themes that may be suitable, or would like to develop some themes specifically for StayPress, then please get in touch. I’m also considering a “Premium theme” collection, so if you have (or are working on) that something special, then we need to talk.

Please leave any recommendations in the comments below. If you don’t want your comment or message posted then start it “PRIVATE” and I’ll keep it private.

I will be posting again soon with more StayPress news and begin to get together some more technical documentation.

    The only theme I’ve run across is the Revolution Real Estate Theme that I think could definitely play well with Staypress with some tweaks.

    No other themes I know of right now but I’ll keep an eye out.

    I’m developing some premium WP themes for single units (multi units to follow later) but they aren’t specifically for StayPress. They could, however, be adapted I suppose.

    Hi,

    Recently used the booking manager combined with the options theme by Justin Tadlock to make the site http://www.mountainbikeapartments.com. I found that the options theme combined with the bookiing manager made it very simple to design a customised site for a small letting company, it might be worth getting in touch with Justin and seeing if he might do a special options theme for the holiday let market.

    Just my thoughts

    Cheers
    Allan

    Hi all!
    Probably this will be the most interesting chance for me. I really use Wordpress and i designed themes for many rental property. My themes are really Search Engine Optimized and Validated to get the best results on search engines (it’s really what rental owner want!!). I really would like to test Staypress and i would like to be in contact with you to have some technical requirements and to see staypress in action.

    Hey, I haven’t heard any recent news on the update of this.

    Anything I can do to help move Staypress along?

    Thanks.
