WordPress is one of the most popular content management systems on the web today and there is good reason behind this. First off, it’s one of the easiest to use and second, it offers a ton of plugins.
For those of you that are not familiar with the term plugin, this is basically a term used to describe the scripts that can be installed in WordPress to further extend its capabilities.
You see, many people automatically think of WordPress as blog building software and there is good reason behind it because this is what has made it so popular, but in reality the plugins expand WordPress’ capabilities far beyond building a blog.
For example, people can also use it to create professional business pages, stores and much more with the plugins that are out there. Which is the reason why I’ve decided to dedicate myself to putting together tutorials that show people how to use WordPress for ecommerce. Below you can see a list of tutorials that I’ve put together thus far.
When people ask me: “Why they should use WordPress when there are so many solutions on the web that focus solely on ecommerce?” I answer by saying that there are cases when WordPress just makes more sense because there are many benefits to using it.
Still not convinced that WordPress is so great? Well I guess you ought to see for yourself how I created a professional, fully functional store in under an hour with the WooCommerce plugin.
