Yes, I know there are a thousand generic Wordpress themes out there for local businesses but I have yet to find ONE that has a great built-in scheduling component. So, for example, if you're a local hair stylist, you want your potential customers to hit your website and immediately be able to schedule an appointment through some type of calendaring interface. Or if you're a house painter, you want customers to be able to quickly and easily schedule a date/time for an estimate.

If anyone knows of a good business theme with a strong scheduling feature, please let me know. Thanks!

You can try https://www.inkthemes.com/previews/?demo_id=251

Layout looks good and has nice features. The form looks good as well with the details you want.

This one looks simpler but also has a nice form, seems the same with the theme above.

Go to Themeforest.net and look for themes that are specific to such local businesses, like hair salons, restaurants etc. Hope this helps.

  It's a hard one, when I built Luxury self catering holiday accommodation, Louth, Lincolnshire I had to modify the booking plugin heavily to the clients needs. If you don't have any PHP experience then it could be a challenge to find a plugin that is completely suitable. However, the website uses https://codecanyon.net/item/pinpoint...dpress/2675936, however, it has been modified a lot in the JavaScript and PHP. I imagine the problem will exist with any theme as well.... I wrote the theme using sage https://roots.io/sage/ as a starter but I can because I am a web developer, but you might want to integrate a plugin yourself.
  
  Thanks

I think you can find something from themeforest which has some booking system built in.
