Tourfic is one of the best Travel, Hotel, and Car Booking plugins in the WordPress ecosystem. However, if you’ve been using Tourfic, you might have found the design panel a bit overwhelming. Over time, we realized that the settings interface needed improvement. It was packed with too many options, cluttered sections, and lacked clarity.
We listened to your feedback, and we’re thrilled to announce a major update that will completely transform how you interact with Tourfic. Our revamped design panel will offer a cleaner, smarter, and more intuitive experience.
With a streamlined layout, better organization, and easier navigation, customizing your site will be simpler than ever. This update isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about enhancing your efficiency and making your workflow smoother.
Let’s dive deeper into the changes we’re making to the Tourfic design panel.
What is Tourfic Design Panel?
First, for new users of Tourfic, let’s talk briefly about the design panel in case you’re unfamiliar with it. If you’re an old user, you can skip this section.
If you navigate to Tourfic Settings > Settings > Design Panel from your WordPress dashboard, you’ll find a wide range of customization options. Using this option you can customize the color, font size, font style, font family etc.
The design panel includes:
- Global Settings: These apply across all services and templates, ensuring consistency throughout your site.
- Service-Specific Settings: Customization options tailored to specific services like tours, hotels, or Car Rentals.
- Template-Specific Settings: Settings that allow you to modify and personalize individual templates.
The design panel has always been powerful, but we’re taking it a step further with our latest update to make it even more user-friendly and efficient.
Why We Decided to Revamp the Design Panel?
The existing design panel in Tourfic is functional and works well with our current plugin and themes. However, for new users, the abundance of options and lack of clarity can feel overwhelming.
Additionally, in today’s modern setup, the current design panel feels outdated and doesn’t meet the streamlined expectations of users. That’s why we decided it was time for a change.
Along with simplifying the interface, there are several other reasons that motivated us to revamp the design panel, ensuring it meets modern standards and enhances user experience.
The other regions are:
- Users Found It Confusing: Many users told us the old design panel was hard to understand and navigate.
- It Was Time-Consuming: Finding the right settings took too long because everything felt cluttered.
- The Design Felt Outdated: The layout didn’t match what people expect from modern, easy-to-use interfaces.
- Users Wanted Simplicity: As Tourfic became more popular, it was clear people wanted a simpler, more user-friendly design.
- Easier for Everyone: We wanted to make the panel easy to use, even for people with little technical knowledge.
- To Stay Competitive: Updating the panel helps keep Tourfic fresh and ahead of other plugins.
- Room for New Features: The old design didn’t allow us to add more features easily, so we needed a better solution.
- Meeting Expectations: People expect plugins to be clean and simple to use, and the old panel wasn’t meeting that standard.
- Better Theme Compatibility: The new design panel will significantly improve compatibility with various WordPress themes, making it easier for users to achieve a cohesive look across their websites. We have aligned the updated design panel with our existing themes, ensuring a seamless integration that feels natural and intuitive.
This revamp isn’t just a visual upgrade—it’s a commitment to improving functionality, scalability, and overall user satisfaction.
Some Highlights of New Revamped Panel
We decided to improve the Design Panel to ensure that all users, regardless of their experience level, can easily customize their WordPress sites. Additionally, we identified some performance issues caused by unused CSS, and we’re committed to addressing these as part of the revamp.
- Improved Global Options: We’re enhancing the global options, so users can set colors, fonts, and highlights just once, and these settings will be applied seamlessly across all templates and services.
- Improved CSS and Styles: The CSS and styles in Tourfic will be optimized to avoid conflicts with theme settings and color options, ensuring a smoother integration with any WordPress theme.
- Improved Performance: Currently, all CSS is loaded in a single file, which includes unused styles. Moving forward, only the necessary CSS for active services and templates will load, improving overall performance and speed.
- Improved Settings Panel: The existing settings panel is cluttered and overwhelming. The revamped panel will feature a simpler, more intuitive UI, making it easier for users to navigate and configure settings.
Final Words
The revamp of the Tourfic Design Panel is a significant step towards providing a better user experience for all our users. By addressing performance issues, enhancing global options, refining the settings panel, and optimizing CSS, we aim to make customization easier, faster, and more intuitive.
This update is not just about aesthetics; it’s about ensuring Tourfic remains a reliable and modern solution for travel, hotel and car booking needs. Whether you’re a seasoned user or new to WordPress, these improvements are designed to simplify your workflow and elevate your site’s performance.
We’re excited to bring you these changes and can’t wait to hear your feedback. Stay tuned for the release and experience the difference!
