In answer to your questions:
- Of the themes we offer, Vantage is the one designed for use as a business directory, so yes it is the one most suited for this purpose.
- Yes
- When you place a listing in Vantage and enter in location details, it will bring the location up on the Google map which appears in the listing page. The theme uses the Google Maps API, but there is also a
MapQuest plugin available in the AppThemes marketplace if you wish to use that. No, child themes are not included and would need to be purchased separately.
- Photoshop files are only included if you purchase the developer license. The standard license does not include these files.
- Yes HostGator is one of our WordPress hosting partners, there are no concerns with using them as a hosting provider when using our themes.
- Yes, our theme licenses allow you to install the themes on multiple websites/domains.
- Yes, you are able to create client sites using the theme. Please note that they in turn do not automatically become AppThemes customers once using our themes, so they will not have access to theme updates and support unless they purchase their own license from us. We do not have resellers for our themes.
- We do offer documentation and have a support team who provide support for our themes within the forums which is accessible only to verified AppThemes customers. We do not officially support third party plugins or customizations, so if you're looking for help relating to those, then yes you would need to seek outside help. We don't offer customization services, however we do have a
certified partners page where you can find developers for hire who are experienced at working with our themes.
- Most themes are, although this is specifically indicated on
each themes own information page.
- Yes, the responsive themes do.
- Yes, as above.
- Probably the longest part of the setup would be the WordPress installation (which isn't that long in itself - even faster if you're with a host who has 1 click installation services).. Depends on how much data you're importing too. Really, the process of setting up a non-customized theme can be done very quickly.. minutes, less than an hour, depending on what you're doing..
- No, it's a US based company.. I'm the only kiwi in the team ;)
Thanks.
