# Menu Manager

Lagom WHMCS Client Theme Menu Manager gives you the best tools to configure the Lagom WHMCS Client Theme menu items without any technical know-how.

Menu Manager delivers a super convenient option to set up the menu items for Main Navigation, Secondary Navigation as well as Footer Navigation.

# Before Start
