Included Extensions

Joostrap members have access to some great extensions; included as part of their subscription or with the template download packages.

Our quickstart package installs exactly as per this demo and has these extensions already installed and demo content in place.  This makes it very easy and quick to get used to our template options and you just need to update as you wish.

Included in the template download package are the extensions, instructions and the template itself – so you can install and use these as you wish; without having to install the quickstart package if you daon’t want to.

Always remembers to read the release notes and instructions included with the template downloads for extra instructions.
