A charity website has a different job from a shop window. It has to explain a cause, prove who is watching over it, and make giving effortless.
The Ataa theme was built for exactly that. It brings together the design elements charitable organizations actually need, such as supervisory bodies, articles, and statistics that show the impact of a campaign, and it renames the standard store pages so they speak the language of giving: (Cart) becomes (Donation cart), and (Orders) becomes (Donation history). In this guide, you'll learn how to buy and customize the Ataa theme, and what each of its exclusive components does.
The Ataa theme is a Salla theme built for charitable organizations. It renames store pages to fit donation work, such as donation cart and donation history, and adds exclusive homepage components: features gallery, statistics, about the organization, supervisory bodies, featured donations, and quick links.
