Struggling to Choose the Right Theme for a Spa Website

I just launched a new scheduling app geared towards services like spas. They could really benefit from it to manage their bookings! All they need to do is add a button on their site linking to the booking flow, and the app handles the rest. It's in a 30-day trial phase now, and I’d love for them to check it out!

You should consider whether a booking system is really necessary. Sometimes, just having communication via WhatsApp, Viber, or Facebook Messenger can work just as well. This can really change your theme selection, especially when weighing free calendar plugins against paid options.

I typically go for a basic theme and use a page builder like SiteOrigin. Some other builders add a lot of extraneous code that complicates things, but it really comes down to personal preference. Just make sure you choose a builder that works smoothly with your theme.

Check out Kadence or Astra. They're both fast and clean, and they offer great templates specifically for spas without all the additional bloat that can slow down your site.

I recently built a site for another family member as well. I used WordPress but didn't stick to a custom theme. They had some fantastic photography, so creating a visually appealing site was pretty straightforward!
