Managing multiple outlets

Psand's content management system, Changing Pages, gives you the power to manage hundreds of online stores from one interface, saving time and resources. From here, you may also assign single users or teams to manage single storefronts, or groups & regions. Whether you use this for different product lines, geographically local markets or different storefronts to target niche market segments, is up to you.

Nitty-gritty technology

As for our tech stack, Psand are very versatile with technologies we use.

For servers we mainly use Apache or NGINX — for backend Perl, PHP, Python, Node.js, Rails — for frontend "Vanilla" JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, jQuery, React, Foundation, Bulma...

We are experts in refactoring code to replace outdated technology with modern standards to gain performance, reduce maintenance and ease development. Some of us older fossils have been developing for over 20 years when Internet Explorer Version 6 was a new, exciting (and quite frustrating) thing.

When the world first heard of adaptive design, HTML5 became a valid standard and the web started to request security certificates by default (HTTPS), we were among the first to implement these new standards.

Even behind the scenes, we follow the best practices of adopting cutting edge standards. Our development process utilises Git, Gitlab, CI/CD and automated tests with Puppeteer & Selenium. Our developers are capable of working both with old reliable stuff like Emacs and Linux terminal, as well as with newer fancy things such as VSCode, Atom, Sublime & Figma.
