App Store : A simple way to get everything about Arastta at one place. As you definitely know from other (Apple, Google) stores, an App Store (or Marketplace) is a digital distribution platform for purchasing and installing software applications.

Keeping your online store up-to-date is extremely important for your store security. Updating is pretty easy with popular CMS softwares like Joomla and WordPress as they offer one-click updates for years (WP since 2008). Even more, since 2013, WordPress offers automatic updates which means the system updates by itself in the background. However, the update process for others like Drupal and OpenCart is a pain in the neck. You have to carefully follow a bunch of...

We've made tons of meetings and compared a lot of popular web and desktop based softwares already...
During our journey with CMS softwares such as Joomla and WordPress, we realized that the success of a software is not based on its loads of features but the easier way it offers you to use them. From this aspect, we recognized that the module/layout management of Arastta's precursor was a real headache. Therefore, we decided to write a layout manager that allows you to arrange modules in your storefront by simple drag & drop.
