Are you going with a dream to open your own online store?
I can realize the dream for you and provide you with an online store solution that you will be satisfied with and that is user-friendly for both the customer and for you.
The best solution I can offer you is to create your online store in Wordpress with Woocommerce as store solution.
Wordpress and Woocommerce
Using Wordpress with Woocommerce as your online store solution is the option that gives you the most flexibility. Wooommerce is an e-commerce platform that integrates seamlessly with Wordpress, and has thousands of plugins that give you the ability to expand with new functionality whenever you need it.
Woocommerce is very user-friendly and you can easily embed products, both physical, virtual and downloadable as well as variants thereof. You can categorize the items, manage inventory, set up discount coupons and much, much more.
Woocommerce is also integrable with most of the payment solutions such as Vipps, Klarna, Stripe, Dibs, Netts, Paypal and more. Moreover, they also support most of the shipping solutions such as browse Bring.
The system also very flexible when it comes to the design of the online store. They offer thousands of ready-made design templates, but also provide the full opportunity to individually be able to design it the way you want. So if you want a bespoke online store, you can get it. (And that's where I fit in so well 😊)
If you have a physical store in addition, there are many integration options with the checkout system and also the accounting program such as scroll. Visma and Fig accounting.
With Woocmmerce, you can also easily integrate your online store with Facebook, and promote your products there.
So, with Woocommerce you get everything you need and more.
How much does an online store cost?
Using Woocommerce is free, but if you want some special features such as a product slider, be able to style and modify your Woocommerce emails, or have the need to sell subscription schemes, you will need to purchase plugins that provide the extra functionality. So an online store can cost more than you first thought.
There are some plugins that are necessary to be able to design the online store, as well as make it easy to maintain it. I always use e.g. The Elementor to design and style the online store.
To make it easy to maintain and develop further, I create custom dynamic fields that you can fill with images and content without going into the design itself. And that's why a plugin is needed to do that. Plugins for this can be e.g. ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) or JetEngine.
So it's not just the sum you pay me to create the website for you, but also some necessary expenses to get it the way you want it.
You also need to take into account the annual expense of the web hotel to the online store as well as annually domain fee.
So why should I create your online store?
Although it is not that difficult to set up an online store with Wordpress and Woocommerce, there are still many things to get into and a lot that needs to be put together to make it work optimally.
For example, not all plugins go well together, and customizing a ready-made design template is rarely as easy as it sounds. There are laws and regulations that must be taken into account and various requirements that must be satisfied before, for example, the payment solution you choose approves your online store.
If you have plenty of time, it's not prohibitive to figure all this out, but if you have a busy everyday life, it can be beneficial to have someone who knows what it takes to do it for you.
What if you choose a different solution?
There can be many reasons why you want to use a solution other than Wordpress and Woocommerce. If you do it but are struggling to get it done, of course I can help you with that too.
