Mist: hill homestay website theme

Who Mist is for

Mist suits a hill homestay and other travel & property businesses that want customers to book appointments or services online. It shows two large photos per row, which suits fewer, higher-value products.

The demo is a made-up business, Kodamanju Homestay, whose homepage opens with “Five rooms, one kitchen, and the clouds at your window”. Its menu reads Rooms, Food, Walks, Our home, Journal, Contact, with collections such as Rooms, From our kitchen, Walks and trips.

Questions about Mist

Is the Mist theme free?

Mist comes with the Growth (₹999 a month) and Pro plans, including GST; there is no separate theme fee. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, without a card.

Can I use Mist for my hill homestay?

Yes. Mist was designed for a hill homestay (travel & property). Your own name, logo, photos, products and prices replace the demo's, and the menu (Rooms, Food, Walks, Our home…) can be renamed.

How do customers order or pay in Mist?

Appointments and services booked online, one at a time. Online payments go through your own Razorpay account (UPI, credit and debit cards, EMI, net banking), cash on delivery can be turned on, and a GST invoice is made for every order.

Can I change the colours and fonts of Mist?

Yes. Mist uses Fraunces for headings and Source Sans 3 for text; on the Pro plan you can set your own brand colour, fonts and button shape on top of it, and preview the result with your own products before publishing.

Does Mist work on phones?

Yes. It is built for phones first, with a bottom tab bar, a swipeable gallery and a checkout sized for thumbs, and it loads fast: no page builders, no plugins.

Can I switch from Mist to another theme later?

Yes, any time from your dashboard. Your products, orders, pages and customers stay as they are; only the design changes.
