CASA STORE PLATFORM

CasaStore is a is web-based platform devoted to exhibit web and mobile applications that concern Casablanca city. It is a store where Internet users can share all their applications and tips related to the city of Casablanca and that could facilitate the lives of citizens.

The platform CasaStore is accessible to three types of users: visitors, users, and developers.

Visitors are not required to sign-in, which makes the initial access to the pages of the web-based platform available to all internet users. However, the activities that visitors can perform are limited to searching and viewing the content of the proposed applications, reading the blog articles, and accessing the events calendar.

The second type of users, called “CasaStore User”, can, in addition to the above, participate in the activities of the platform and evaluate their content. This profile requires the creation of a “user” account, and one can sign-up by inputting personal information or via social networks like Facebook and Google.

Consequently, users can suggest events related to new technology, provided that they take place in Casablanca. They may also suggest articles related to new technology. Users must write the articles they submit; otherwise they must cite the source/author.

The third and last type of CasaStore users are developers. A developer enjoys the same activities and rights as « CasaStore User », but they are privileged to suggest new applications and upload them to the platform. This type of users is included to motivate web and mobile applications developers present their “goods” to be downloaded and used by the users and visitors of CasaStore Platform.

The applications uploaded by developers are also managed by moderators, so as to verify whether their content concerns exclusively Casablanca, and whether they are complete and ready for use.
