A pool cleaning WordPress theme with a plan builder: DEV3 Poolside
Last updated

A pool owner has two questions before they ring a pool service: what will regular care cost for my pool, and when do you open and close it? DEV3 Poolside answers both on the page, so visitors arrive at your booking form with a number and a month in mind.

A plan builder that does the maths
Visitors choose a pool size, how often they want a visit and any extras. A water-wave card shows the monthly estimate, a likely range, the price per visit and the extras total, and "Request this plan" opens the booking form with their choices filled in. The prices come from your Customizer: the price of a visit to a small pool, the size multipliers and a list of extras.

Without JavaScript the builder is a form that reloads the page with the estimate calculated on the server, so it works everywhere.
A season calendar that sells openings and closings
Twelve month cards are colour-coded as opening, swim season, closing and off-season, from four months you set in the Customizer. The current month is marked, and opening and closing months link to the booking form with the right service preselected.

Area check and booking
Type a postcode and the area check answers with the call-out fee while you type. The booking form then asks for the service or plan, the pool size and type, an address, a day and an arrival window, and saves the request privately with a nonce, honeypot and rate limit.

A gallery that is honest
The before and after gallery uses drag-to-compare sliders. In the demo every pair is labelled as a sample, two similar pools or surfaces in different conditions, so you replace them with your own results.

Set it up
- Install the theme and the DEV3 Theme Toolkit, then import the demo from Appearance, DEV3 Demo.
- Set your visit price, size multipliers, extras, season months, service areas and office hours in Appearance, Customize, Poolside: business details.
- Replace the demo care plans, kits and vouchers with your own, and add your own before and after photos.
Poolside works on its own. If you add a booking plugin, the theme ships compatible styling and a class map in the documentation. All names, prices and reviews in the demo are fictional samples.
