InTouchDesign Companion

InTouchDesign Companion adds an InTouchDesign menu to your dashboard, with Starter Sites as its first entry. Pick a starter site, review exactly what it will create, and import it in two separate steps:

  1. Content: pages, menus and images. By default nothing that already exists is overwritten, and importing twice does not duplicate anything. If a page with the same address already exists you can choose, with a box that is off by default, to replace it instead of creating a numbered copy.
  2. Look: colors, fonts, header options, the footer widgets (contact details, opening hours), the front page and menu locations. The widgets already in those footer columns are kept among your inactive widgets. You see the differences first, and a restore point is saved so you can go back with one click.

It needs the free InTouchDesign theme. The starter sites included in this plugin are imported entirely on your own site: importing one does not contact any external server.

The screen has three tabs. Home shows your site’s current look, with links into the Customizer, and the status of the theme, the imported starter site and Contact Form 7. Starter Sites lists the starter sites, with a search box and filters by plan and category. Changelog shows what changed in each version of the theme and of this plugin.

The Pro plan filter of the Starter Sites tab shows the Pro starter sites as examples: a picture, a description, a link to the live demo and one to the InTouchDesign website, where Pro is sold. They cannot be imported with this plugin, and the list and its pictures ship inside the plugin, so showing them contacts no server.

Also included: the [itdcompanion_contact_form] shortcode, which shows a Contact Form 7 form when that plugin is active and a simple “Email Us” button otherwise. A starter site can mark one of its pages for a reservation form (form="reservation"); the importer creates it in Contact Form 7 when that plugin is active, and falls back to a mailto button otherwise.

External services

The free plugin contacts no external server: the starter sites it imports, and the pictures and descriptions of the Pro starter sites it shows, are files inside the plugin.

Companion Pro, sold separately, uses more external services: they are listed in the Pro version’s readme and documentation.

Links to the InTouchDesign website. The plugin’s admin screens link to dev.intouchdesign.it, the InTouchDesign website: the documentation (/themes/docs/), the starter sites and Companion Pro (/themes/). The starter sites’ Live preview buttons link to their demo on demo.intouchdesign.it. These are ordinary links: a page opens in your browser only when you click one, and the plugin itself sends nothing to these sites. As on any website, the page you open receives your IP address and the usual browser data. Terms: https://dev.intouchdesign.it/terms/ – Privacy: https://dev.intouchdesign.it/privacy/

Source code

The plugin’s JavaScript and CSS ship as they are written, not minified.
