Mono Theme

Edition: CS-Cart & Multi-Vendor · Latest version: 1.0.0 · Compatible with: CS-Cart & Multi-Vendor 4.17.2 – 4.21.x, PHP 7.4 – 8.3 · Changelog: view

Mono is a classic, conversion-first storefront theme for jewellery and watch stores: engagement rings and wedding bands, fine and fashion jewellery, pearls, watches and gifts. Every standard e-commerce element sits where shoppers expect it, and the theme answers the questions jewellery buyers ask first: “which metal, which stone?”, “what size do I need?”, “is it certified and covered?” and “will it arrive gift-ready?”. Shoppers browse by metal, stone and occasion, read the hallmark on every card, zoom into every detail, check their ring size and pick a gift by budget.

What you get

• The Mono theme, a child of the standard Responsive theme, so every add-on keeps working.
• Four styles:
  • Ivory (default): ivory and black with gold hairlines, framed image wells, square buttons and garnet sale labels.
  • Onyx (dark): a black velvet vitrine with champagne-gold buttons and hairlines.
  • Bordeaux: blush ivory and bordeaux with rose-gold rules, soft rounded wells and pill buttons.
  • Sapphire: cool white and sapphire with a ruled, platinum-lined product grid and gold accents.
• The vitrine: product images stand in a softly lit well with an inset gold frame (Ivory), black velvet (Onyx), rounded blush wells (Bordeaux) or a ruled grid (Sapphire). Section titles sit between gold hairlines with lozenge ornaments; the menu band sits between two hairlines under a centred logo.
• Hallmark stamps: the purity (750, 585, 375, 925, PT950) as a stamped mark on every card and on the product page, read from the Purity or Metal feature.
• Shop by metal, stone or occasion: polished metal discs, faceted gem discs and occasion tiles on the homepage (three tabs, no JavaScript needed); each opens the filtered product list. A metal bar above category and search lists and a Shop by metal column in every mega menu panel.
• Metal swatches on product cards, from the Metal feature or a “Metal” product option.
• Zoom-first gallery: hovering the main product image magnifies the detailed image under the pointer; a click opens the standard full-screen viewer; phones get a swipe gallery.
• Ring size guide: a “Size guide” link next to the ring size buttons opens a size chart (US, UK, EU, diameter and circumference) with tips for measuring at home.
• Engraving: a text option named Engraving (or Personalisation, Inscription, Initials) gets a live preview on a gold band and a character counter; products with the feature “Engraving available” show an engraving line.
• Certification and warranty badges: Certified, Conflict-free, Hallmarked, Lifetime warranty, Recycled gold and Water resistant on product pages, from checkbox product features.
• The gift edit: a dark homepage band with price presets (Under $150, $150 – $300, $300 – $750, $750 and over) that open the most popular pieces in that budget, plus your gift-ready promises.
• Complete the set: under the product tabs, the piece with up to two pieces of the same collection from other categories, added to the cart in one go.
• Header: a black top bar with your promises and quick links, an underlined search, the centred logo, labelled Account, Wish list and Bag icons with counters, and a centred mega menu with a Sale item.
• Homepage: a hero slider (headline, text, two buttons, a hallmark stamp and a price sticker for a paired product on a framed scene; edited as banners), a promise strip, Shop by category, Shop by metal / stone / occasion, Best sellers / New in / Engagement tabs with offer countdowns, the gift edit, two promo banners, a watches grid, maker wordmarks (on Multi-Vendor: maker cards), client reviews, The journal (blog), the newsletter and a full footer.
• Category pages: metal bar, subcategory chips, restyled product filters (metal, stone, occasion, collection, maker, price), sorting, grid and list views and a gift tile in the grid.
• Product pages: zoom gallery, maker, hallmark and collection above the title, the metal and stone line, price, option buttons (ring size, metal, length), badges, size guide, engraving, gift-ready / insured delivery / returns rows, the stock tabs, Complete the set and related pieces; a sticky add-to-cart bar.
• Multi-Vendor: maker cards on the homepage and a maker header on every vendor page.
• Phones: compact header with the search below, a bottom bar (Home, Shop, Search, Account, Bag), swipe rows, a filter sheet, a swipe gallery and the sticky add-to-cart bar.
• Installs with complete demo content: the store looks finished right after activation.
• Self-hosted fonts (Marcellus and Red Hat Text, SIL Open Font License); no external font requests.

Compatibility

• CS-Cart, CS-Cart Ultimate, Multi-Vendor and Multi-Vendor Ultimate 4.17.2 – 4.21.x (tested on 4.17.2 and 4.21.2).
• PHP 7.2.5 to 8.3, depending on your CS-Cart version.
• Works with the full page cache of 4.21: theme output holds catalogue data only; the zoom, the size guide, the engraving preview and the set totals run in the shopper’s browser.

Licence

Mono uses a domain-bound licence like every Kavio Labs product. Without a valid licence (after the 14-day period of a new installation, or 14 days after the licence server became unreachable) the storefront shows the standard Responsive look instead of the Mono design; cart, checkout and orders keep working and visitors see no message. See Configuration.
