JM SportsGear

Reponsive Magento Theme for Sport Stores

So you are about to install our responsive Magento theme JM SportsGear - the professional makeover of any eCommerce sports stores about fitness equipment and sporty clothing. The theme is packed up with up to 7 complementary Magento extensions including Mega Menu, JM Basetheme, JM Masshead, JM Product List, JM Product Slider, JM Slideshow and JM QuickView. JM SportsGear is fully responsive and supports Off-canvas menu for collapsed screen devices.

There are two ways to install a JoomlArt Magento theme like JM SportsGear:

General Installation: Applicable if you have installed a Magento base on your server before.
Quickstart Installation: Applicable if you want to get a whole new site as per Demo.

Decide which way to follow. Once downloaded, unzip the package of JM SportsGear to get the following folders:

Documentation : contains userguide
Extensions: contains all extensions built in the theme
Theme: contains the template files only
Quickstart: is a full Magento CMS version with our template already integrated to match demo
