My dad was one of the first people in our local town to get a website for his business. He was even more forward thinking by having his site as an e-commerce platform to sell his products. This was in the late 1990s, a wild west with regards to credit card fraud and scams. Thankfully things have come on a long way since then. Now any business can not only have a website, but can sell their products to customers all over the world. It’s never been easier to set up a web shop with the many options available to become an online entrepreneur. Platforms like Shopify, Squarespace, and Wix have made it easy for anyone to start straight away. Sadly these platforms do you not give you the full customisation you might be after. I personally believe that WordPress with Woocommerce built on top offers the best and most cost effective solution to create the perfect online e-commerce website. Not only is the site fully customisable, you also get all the perks of WordPress with free plugins and add-ons. Woocommerce provides checkouts, payment options, and product pages. All that limits you is your imagination. The two e-commerce website examples below are built with WordPress and Woocommerce. Each site has had thousands of visitors and sell hundreds of items each year.
