We use WordPress because it’s an open source Content Management System (CMS) that’s highly customizable, secure, and constantly being updated to guard against new threats.
WordPress powers upwards of 27% of all the websites on the internet; from simple blogs to large scale e-commerce sites, to entire education blog platforms like Edu Blogs, along with these businesses.
Because of its proliferation, there are tens of thousands of developers worldwide creating new and improved products to make developing websites with WordPress much easier.
Need to set up an online school, there’s a solution for that, need to set up an e-commerce site to sell various products, there’s a solution for that. Or maybe you want to set up a directory website, there’s a solution for that also.
WordPress isn’t just for blogs, its the backbone of a lot of what you see on the web today.
Not only does WooCommerce power 41% of all the ecommerce websites worldwide, its also owned by Automattic, the team that brought you WordPress. Because of this you can rest assured that WooCommerce will always be very secure and highly compatible with WordPress at all times.
With that being the case, thats not why we choose to use it primarily. We use WooCommerce because of its scalability and large portfolio of extensions which makes it highly customizable for our clients.
WooCommerce extensions allow you to transform a WordPress site into just about any type of online store your mind can imagine. Want to sell virtual or physical products, maybe sell tickets to a concert, book appointments for your business, start a subscription box service, offer memberships, or even start an online school, whatever the need, WooCommerce has a way to get it done.
They also offer multiple payment gateways like Authorize, PayPal and Stripe to name a few for getting paid.
Although there are multiple plugins that can be used for ecommerce purposes, the dedication from the team behind WooCommerce makes it the best all around option as far as plugin compatibility is concerned.
To put it short, WooCommerce plus WordPress makes running an online store as easy as it can be.
