You can download the script from the website and easily install it by uploading all the files directly to your web host and linking to your database. Once the setup is completed you will have a option to redirect to the Homepage or else the Admin Panel.<\/p>\n<p>When we actually compare the default homepage of both the above mentioned scripts once a fresh copy is installed, you will find that the DigiStore would feature with more light, crisp and professional looking design with perfect optimization of the available screen space.
