Why Onxshop?

Wednesday 16 November 2016 by Laposa UK

Onxshop is an enterprise level, open source content management system, built and maintained by development company Laposa Ltd.

Flexible & Efficient

Onxshop is built using standard web technologies: HTML, CSS, PHP and SQL, where all code is clearly structured and separated, which allows anyone with simple CSS knowledge to become Onxshop developer without the need of expensive certification programmes.  As the creators of Onxshop we have full control of all aspects of the software allowing us to easily adapt and create new functionality where necessary. This translates to considerable savings in development time (cost) compared with other systems.

Secure

Due to it’s exclusivity as an enterprise content management system, Onxshop is not as vulnerable as it’s competitors. For example, Wordpress boasts 75 million installations and a plugin directory containing close to 50,000 add-ons (created by different developers and coding standards). The mass adoption of Wordpress provides an attractive opportunity for hackers and opens many potential security holes. Laposa reviews every piece of code before committing it to the Onxshop Github repository and regularly tests for PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliance.

Easy to use

Onxshop is a true CMS, not a blogging platform. It’s powerful, adaptable yet highly intuitive requiring only minimal training.

Open licence

There is no annual licence fee with Onxshop and it can be easily hosted elsewhere should you choose to move host.

Support

Laposa offer full technical support on our Onxshop hosting platform where we are happy to provide an SLA. Due to the nature of Wordpress, (eg. automatic system updates, plugin updates, etc…) we cannot offer this level of service.

Onxshop 1.5

Wednesday 8 February 2012 by Norbert

Laposa is delighted to announce its latest Onxshop release, providing major updates to the Onxshop framework. Version 1.5 of this release provides many new features, new backoffice theme "Lion", improved stability and better performance.

To download source code or packages to install, go to the Onxshop download page. The Changelog lists more detail about the changes. Note that this changelog is incomplete. For a complete list of changes please browse the Git logs.

We are proud to highlight, that Onxshop CSS/HTML framework is now so stable, that it was simply extended by built-in four, five and six columns layout. Your old website projects require no reviews of your CSS code before upgrading. However, the changes to database and configuration files require minor upgrading. For instructions follow the upgrade notes.

This release comes with a brand new APT repository for Debian Squeeze and Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. To quickly review of this new version, test drive the Onxshop Cloud (β).
