We worked hard to deliver some of the best functionality, performance and flexibility that can be found in a single Magento 2 theme.

We created a well-rounded suite of Magento 2 extensions, that come with the theme, in order to cover practically any aspect of running an eCommerce business. Our goal was to provide unprecedented value for growing businesses, because we understand that building a store requires a lot of resources.

Our designers worked hard to provide the best visual layouts for your store. These were carefully crafted to shape a very satisfying customer journey for your clients. Navigation is simple. Search is snappy. Product details are rich. Everything that a person needs, in order to get to that checkout page, was accounted for in the design process.

Why Magetique is the best Magento 2 theme?

Design

It includes 5 amazing layouts that work for practically any eCommerce niche. It also contains pre-made elements that you can easily add to your pages, if you feel like experimenting with the design. Every best practice for seamless user experience was accounted for. We took special care of the design’s responsiveness – the theme looks amazing on any mobile device [Retina displays included].

Validation

Both HTML markup and CSS styles used in our templates are semantically correct and valid. However some W3C errors still can take place. Making code 100% W3C valid eliminates the usage of modern website technologies as CSS3 features and HTML5 markup. Our goal is to deliver rich user experience with high quality templates and sometimes we have to break some rules.

Preparation

Before you proceed to set up your Magento store, please make sure you are fully prepared. Please complete the following preparation steps:

Editing software

To feel comfortable working with the Magento template, we recommend downloading all the applications required. You can see the list of required software at the template Live Demo page. Requirements can vary significantly depending upon the template, the common ones will be defined only:

First, you need to use WinZip 9+ [for Windows] and Stuffit Expander 10+ [for Mac] to extract the password protected sources_#########.zip archive.
You may also need the Adobe Photoshop application. It is used to edit .PSD source files, and it is necessary if you want to edit template design graphics and images.
To edit template source code files, you need some code editor like Adobe Dreamweaver, Notepad++, Sublime Text, etc.
To upload files to the hosting server you may need an FTP Manager like Total Commander, FileZilla, CuteFTP, etc.

Hosting

As Magento Commerce is a PHP/MySQL based application, you need to prepare a hosting environment to run Magento.

If you have live hosting, please make sure it matches Magento requirements and is ready to be used for Magento store.

Otherwise, you can run Magento locally on your computer using the local server. To create a local hosting server please use the localhost applications such as WAMP, AppServ, MAMP etc. Any of those can be easily installed as any other program and used to run Magento.
