Description
As of 2020, 35 percent of all the websites in the world (and that means hundreds of thousands of pages!) are based on WordPress. E-commerce sites are not an exception: while the absolute majority of small business owners are neither great at programming, nor rich enough to hire professional developers just yet, a strong and secure content management system like WordPress can be of great help.
Learning how to make a WordPress website is a skill that’s not too hard to master but quick to pay off: with a professional and sleek looking site, your online business is sure to attract way more attention and boost your sales. In this WordPress e-commerce course, you will see how you can build an eye-catching e-shop for yourself using the WooCommerce plugin and start a print-on-demand business that might just become your main source of income.
Using WordPress for e-commerce: from A to Z
Building a WordPress e-commerce website is not something you need to have professional coding experience or knowledge for: this convenient, powerful, and strong platform is a choice of millions for a reason. In this course, you will go through all the stages required to set up a professional e-shop and create a strong internet presence for an online business.
The secret of building a beautiful and user-friendly WordPress e-commerce website is using the WooCommerce plugin. It is specially designed to help small businesses create functional online shops for themselves without the need to hire professional web developers. In the 40+ informative lectures of this course, we will explain to you how to download and install WordPress themes, how to use various plugins, and how to work with the dashboard efficiently.
Learning to use WordPress for e-commerce is a great first step into the world of web development, too, as you will get to know the key concepts of both front-end and back-end coding.
The secrets of online selling
Aside from learning how to make a WordPress website, we will show you how to add all the features required for an online shop. We will go through shipping methods, tax rates, and integrate payment to our WordPress e-commerce website. We will use Stripe for payments: this online payment processing system is an excellent choice for online businesses, and a user-friendly option for non-techies.
When we have our WordPress e-commerce website ready, we will learn to connect it with Printful – a print-on-demand service that will help you satisfy your customers by making custom products covered in your designs. This way, you will be able to build an online business without a lot of investment – all you’ll need to pay for is a domain and hosting of your website!

About the Instructor
Hello, I'm Ronak and I am formally trained in film and video communication from National Institute of Design, India. Studying in a design college has it's own advantages. Not only I had access to some of the best filmmakers in the country but I also got exposure to all forms of design- from graphic design to animation, from textile design to ceramic and glass design. I picked up a thing or two from there but the most important thing that I learned was to learn how to learn new things. Since then I have taught myself web development, graphic design and music production. I needed a website to put my work online so I started learning Wordpress and since then I have just gone deeper into it and now I enjoy creating websites.
I am working as a freelance filmmaker and photographer in Bangalore, India.
