WordPress, or Shopify setup
When you have content sorted, meaning you have good visuals and text to highlight the advantages of you’re product or service. And you know the lay of the land in terms of what’s out there, and who you’re competitors are. It’s time to start putting it all together and build a functional website that is ready to attract the right traffic.
The two great options for this are Shopify and WordPress. Both have been designed with different functionalities and design philosophies in mind. And the nature of your business and or product will dictate which one is the best fit for you.
In terms of selling your products, Shopify does this really well. They do charge you every month, but this also means they will do the development, keep software up to date, and you buy you’re way into a grand ecosystem that’s geared towards selling physical products. Many things have already been developed. So you won’t have to invent the wheel again, and it has excellent integration with various social media platforms, making marketing you’re products easier than on other platforms.
It has many useful plugins, which you can pay a few dollars a month extra for, or sometimes are free, which allow you to deliver an excellent customer experience. If you can think of it, there is a good chance it’s available on Shopify.
WordPress has been around for a while now. It was conceived to be a blogging tool which you could use to easily share content with to you’re readers. But it did this so well that it got adopted as the all-round CMS a lot of people were using, and were familiar with. This means it has an excellent ecosystem of plugins, themes, and so on and so forth to draw upon. It’s great for service websites because it gives you the options to edit and change content quite easily.
Which has made it very populair, as it can be setup by a technical person. And you can blog till you’re hearts content once it’s up and running without needing to rely on a tech person to help you out. You can also sell goods via WordPress, with extra plugins, but this option has been superseded by, for example, Shopify, so I would recommend WordPress for service-oriented businesses.
So in conclusion, both options are great. Depending on what you want to do with your website, what you’re product or service is, and what you would like to achieve. I can help you set this up, figure out which is the best option, and make sure you’re brand identity gets translated well into the internet.
