Instinctor - Bookings, Store, Smart Chat and SEO

Instinctor is the software a small business runs on, delivered as a WordPress plugin. Take bookings with deposits, sell physical, digital and subscription products, let Smart Chat answer customers about prices, hours and availability, and manage SEO, all from one plugin instead of a stack of five. It also includes Impulse, a full visual builder with a motion graphics engine, so the pages you build look like the business deserves. Start with one page. Instinctor leaves your theme and existing pages alone, so you can build, preview, and publish without rebuilding the rest of your site. Motion is native, layered, and interactive. Blocks carry their own animation systems. Text reveals, kinetic headings, animated dividers, moving cells, and gradient borders can respond to the mouse on desktop and the phone gyroscope on mobile. Sections add another animation system with customizable, layerable effects, four-point animated gradient backgrounds, and Motion Walls for infinitely moving titles or image walls with controllable camera movement. Build in Classic or Cinematic mode. Classic pages scroll vertically and let every section carry its own 3D reveal. In Cinematic mode, sections become transparent 100vh screens that travel through depth over one persistent animated environment. Every screen has its own beginning-to-end scroll timeline. Cinematic pages can loop, and selected screens can stay outside the scroll sequence and open from a button. Three cell-based layout systems. Grid creates up to 6 by 6 fully customizable, animated cells and can also work as a gallery or image/data slider. Rows builds horizontal cell compositions. Columns creates vertical magazine-style layouts. Cells, borders, spacing, alignment, and responsive behavior remain under direct visual control. One builder for the whole site. Impulse combines precise visual composition, layered motion, responsive controls, media, forms, navigation, ecommerce blocks, and Instagent-generated editable sections in one editor. A real store, not a plugin stack. Sell physical, digital, subscription, and bundle products, bookings, and gift cards. Control variants, discounts, stock, tax rules, and checkout through the native Instinctor store. Smart Chat that knows your business. Instagent knows your products, prices, stock, hours, and bookings. It can answer automatically, while you can enter any conversation yourself. Smart responses are opt-in and run through the Instinctor Platform, so no AI key is entered on your site. Instant quotes from an uploaded file. A visitor uploads an STL or OBJ and gets a real price back. The model is measured on the server and priced against your own material cost, machine time, handling, and margin, then returned as a breakdown rather than a bare number. Parts larger than your build volume are turned away before they are quoted, and the part renders in the browser with your material swatches so the customer sees the thing itself before ordering. Complete SEO controls. Manage metadata, Open Graph, structured data, XML sitemaps, redirects, canonical URLs, search previews, and page health from the same platform. Works with the site you already have. Instinctor renders only the pages you build with it. Try it on one page without touching your theme or the rest of the site. Free to start. Install Instinctor from WordPress.org and build your first page free. Instinctor Pro adds more WebGL environments, motion presets, and SMS/WhatsApp chat notifications. What's included

• Impulse visual builder: a precision editor with Classic vertical pages and optional Cinematic depth experiences. Layer section animations, build per-screen timelines, use responsive Grid, Rows, and Columns systems, and control blocks independently on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Includes real-time WebGL environments, interactive motion, 3D models, Motion Walls, animated gradients, kinetic headings, media, forms, navigation, ecommerce blocks, and Instagent-generated editable sections.
• Built-in store: sell physical, digital, subscription, and bundle products, plus bookings and gift cards. Product variants, discount codes, stock control, tax rules, loyalty points, quantity discounts, and product add-ons. Multi-currency display with a currency switcher (checkout settles in your store's base currency). Returns and refunds, printable packing slips, and order tracking with customer emails (add tracking numbers yourself, or sync automatically with your own AfterShip account). Checkout via Stripe, PayPal, or Authorize.net, with editable order emails across the lifecycle (confirmation, processing, shipped, completed, cancelled, refunded). Add-ons and loyalty are switched on in the store settings.
• Instagent live chat: a live chat widget with an optional smart response layer that answers questions about your products, prices, and stock, or is answered by hand from the dashboard. The smart responses are opt-in and delivered through the Instinctor Platform relay (see External Services below); no AI-provider key is entered on your site.
• SEO: per-page meta, Open Graph and Twitter tags, focus keyword, canonical URL, and a search preview; a per-page health score; JSON-LD structured data; XML sitemaps; and redirect management.

Source code The plugin ships as source. The .js files in assets/js/ are the canonical, hand-written source: no transpiler, bundler, or build step is involved. A few engine files (impulse-3d-effects.js, impulse-motion-lava.js, impulse-fx-engine.js, impulse-wave.js, impulse-animations.js) are written densely on single lines for performance, but each statement is normal readable JavaScript. PHP is unobfuscated. Third-party libraries under assets/js/vendor/ ship in their original minified form; see assets/js/vendor/README.txt for versions, licenses, and source URLs. For a copy of the development repository, contact instinctor@instinctor.com. A separate Instinctor Pro plugin (from instinctor.com, not distributed here) adds more WebGL environments, motion presets, and SMS/WhatsApp chat notifications.

2.1.07

• A published page now uses exactly the environment colours set in the editor. A page could publish in a different palette from the one on screen while it was designed.
• The Cosmos environment fills a phone screen instead of rendering almost black. Its clouds were spread for a wide screen and most of them fell outside a narrow one.
• Some motion effects are part of the Pro build. They render in the editor so you can see what they do, and a published page renders without them: 3D Title outline and depth modes, the carousel's 3D modes, marquee drift, image cutout and halftone, the script-driven image hover effects, and custom 3D models. Text, layout, colours and links are unchanged.

2.1.06

• Settings: fields render at their intended size on WordPress 7.0, which had raised its own minimum for form controls.
• Settings: the middle column balances its panels instead of leaving a gap under the last one.
• Editor: changing a setting no longer reverts when a previous edit is still saving.
• Tables: invisible spacing pasted in from a word processor no longer pushes a cell out of line with its row.
• Dividers: the electric style is no longer cut off at the top and bottom when Fade edges is on.
• Security: an uploaded file is now named for the type it actually is, never for the extension it was given.

2.1.05

• Editor: the screen strip on the canvas edge gains a + to add a screen after the one you are on, a hover menu to rename, duplicate or delete a screen, and drag to reorder.
• Editor: the strip now marks which screen is on the canvas, and holds its size instead of shrinking with the canvas.
• Accessibility: the mobile menu button announces itself, reports open or closed, and moves focus into the menu and back out again.
• Accessibility: an animated headline now exposes one clean copy of its text instead of every animated fragment.
• Fixed: a page could emit the same id on several style tags.
• Settings reads as a business rather than a store, so the first screen does not assume you are selling.

2.1.04

• New: position a background or image by dragging the picture itself. Choose exactly what stays in view, instead of picking from fixed presets.
• New: per-device image sizing. Keep an image large on desktop and set a smaller size for phones.
• New: alignment and pin-to-top / pin-to-bottom are set per device. A block can sit at the bottom on desktop and centred on a phone.
• New: section gradients gain a Placement control. Spread the four colours across the whole section, its edges, its corners, or only the top or bottom edge.
• Page library: pages are grouped into folders, and you can drag them into the order you want.
• Editor: a block hidden on a device now looks hidden while you work on that device, section numbers sit on the canvas edge, and the selected section is marked with a light rule instead of a heavy outline.
• Contact forms can send visitors to a page of your choosing after a successful submission.
• Header: hiding the site name now works, and the site name can take the wordmark styling.
• Accessibility: animated headlines expose one clean copy of the text to screen readers instead of every animated fragment.
• Fixed: per-device edits are saved against the device tab you are working on, so a change made on the Mobile tab no longer lands on Desktop.
• Refined how sections lay out when a block is pinned to the bottom of the screen.

2.1.03

• Media uploads and image handling improved on WordPress installs.
• Editor: single-click delete in the Structure panel, per-cell alignment now applies to every block type, grid cells inherit the section's content gap.
• Motion: kinetic headlines with Loop off now settle and stay still; flip boxes hold their padding while being edited.

2.1

• Maintenance release.
