WordPress is software that allows you to create your own website (the way you want it). It’s an open-source content management system (CMS) that helps anybody with a site to take control and manage important aspects of it, without needing to understand one line of code.
WooCommerce is the next step in your revenue-creating journey after you’ve got your WordPress site up and running. Incorporating WooCommerce (an eCommerce plugin for WordPress) gives you the ability to create and manage your online store with flexibility and ease, so you can take care of inventory management, secure payments, and shipping integration.
In the beginning, if you clearly understand the wants and needs of your customer then you can tailor your website to their specific needs giving you the edge over the competition. By choosing WordPress, you are freeing your hands from the restraints of other more restrictive content management systems.
If you want to make money— which we’re guessing you do— then WooCommerce is the best tool to have in your belt. It’s easy to use, flexible, and open-source, meaning you can build the exact store you want and not have any restrictions.
Some eCommerce website design solutions are ‘off the rack’, taking a one size fits all approach. However, this doesn’t take your business’s individual needs and goals into account. But, WordPress and WooCommerce do, allowing you to customise what you otherwise couldn’t, and provide fast and effective solutions as your business begins to grow.
WordPress allows you to easily manage your website content yourself, which often isn’t possible with other software applications. You can schedule posts, integrate news and blog posts, manage website security, and automatically back up your site… the features and benefits are endless!
You can set up your store in any way you like, and (when you already use WordPress) it only takes minutes to add WooCommerce! Once it’s ready to go you can offer flexible and secure payments, manage orders on the go, automatically calculate tax, and print labels at home, all from your computer or mobile WooCommerce app.
