Yes, the title just about sums it all up.  Vortx, Inc. has acquired AspDotNetStorefront from it’s previous owner.  This is a fantastic turn of events for all of us involved in the AspDotNetStorefront community.

Over the years we have come to be great fans of AspDotNetStorefront as an eCommerce platform for the mid-market.  Like all platforms in this space, it has it’s ups and downs, but we always maintained that the downs were ones with which we could work/get around.

Having Vortx snag up this platform is truly a great thing for merchants, developers and platform partners alike.  We have always enjoyed competing with, and sometimes working with the folks over at Vortx.  We share similar core values, and ultimately a common vision, for what this platform could really become.

In the coming months expect to see more stability brought to the platform, stronger community development efforts, and and overall greater value level brought to those merchants who made the decision (and are still pondering) to go with AspDotNetStorefront.

Stay tuned, it’s going to be a brilliant ride!
