SpotFinder – A Versatile WordPress Theme for Location Based Listings
Spotfinder is the ultimate choice when it comes to listings. Featuring customisable search fields you are able to create custom forms and fields and use SpotFinder to list virtually anything. Packed with a custom built front-end submission system, featuring a custom cart and paypal integration, you are able to allow your users to submit their own listings and charge them to do so or to add extras such as more images, more tags, custom fields and a lot more, all with no wordpress backend at all.
List Virtually Anything. This is the beauty of SpotFinder, by creating your own search fields, you can list any sort of listing. Out of the box SpotFinder comes with 5 dummy contents: Real Estate, Bars & Restaurants, Job Listings, Hotels and Car Dealership. And to say that this is a strict location based listing website is a lie. Our Car Dealership preview is a clear example that SpotFinder doesn’t just rely on a map.
SpotFinder is fully responsive, retina display ready and built upon Foundation, the most advanced CSS Framework. Built upon our native wordpress Framework, SpotFinder is packed with the interactive and intuitive bPanel, for easier website management. Our framework has dozens of shortcodes, unlimited sidebars, shortcode generator and a whole lot more.
Google Maps like no other. Use a live, interactive version of Google Maps as your slider so users can search down listings with AJAX filtering so the page never has to load. Enable Geolocation, Get Directions and featured overlays and let your users freely resize the map to their like. Custom pins, flexible overlays, and even a black & white version of Google Maps is available.
Ready for Small & Large. No matter how big your website is, SpotFinder is optimised to handle a large number listings specially in the map. By using AJAX, we have greatly decreased the amount of data that needs to be loaded initially in order to load all pins and the clustering system makes sure that no matter how big your website is, SpotFinder is fast.
Front-End Submissions. SpotFinder comes with a custom built front-end submission system. Featuring facebook login with 1-click sign-up, a custom admin panel with a graphed Page Views for your users listings, profile editor with profile picture and a fully dynamic front-end submission system, your users can submit their own listings and NEVER have to go in the admin panel. As a matter of fact, they have absolutely no access to the wordpress dashboard!
User Notifications. Another great feature of SpotFinder is that in case your users are not able to find what they are looking for, they can sign up for a notification, so whenever a new listings is published and it matches his searching criteria, he gets notified straight away! It includes fully translatable emails as well as unsubcribe links for every sign up.
Unlimited Skins. SpotFinder comes with inbuilt color editors so you can easily change the color of your theme with no hassles. Simply go in your dashboard, choose your color, hit save and it’s done. All our dummy content come with styles and images.
Revolution Slider FREE. Don’t want to use the Map Slider? Simply install Revolution Slider which is included with your download file and have a fully responsible, CSS3 transitioned slider in your website within seconds. $15 value.
100% Translatable. SpotFinder comes with .po/.mo files ready to be translated. Translate your entire website from front-end strings and backend area to emails that are send out to users and admins.
SEO Friendly. SpotFinder is optimised to be indexed by search engines and using any third-party plugins will cause no conflicts.
