Hi, I'm starting a project that involves cloning the design and functionality of another website using WordPress. I’m using The7 theme (fresh setup) and need to integrate a few key things:
- Bookly (for bookings)
- Google Reviews add-on
- Talk to Us chat add-on
What I’m looking for is a complete developer roadmap or advice on how to approach this project. Should I start by creating a child theme and building with Elementor? Or should I first focus on the theme setup itself? What’s the best way to proceed with integrating these add-ons smoothly?
Would appreciate any tips or suggestions from anyone who’s worked with The7, Elementor, or similar setups before!

Bookly is one of those Plugins that has around 40 or so add-ons. It is crazy that almost any functionality you need is an add-on. You want Zoom, it is and add on, you want Google Calendars, it is an add on, you want Apple calendars it is an add on, anyways Bookly is probably among the best WordPress booking plugins for use cases that are no hotel type or bed and breakfast, the engine for it and that of Amelia are more geared towards like nail and salon, or tutoring or lawyers etc etc . Their engines are not built for hotel type bookings.
