WooCommerce Developer
There are few industries that continue to see year-over-year growth. But the ones that do generally have one thing in common: the internet. The internet revolutionized nearly every industry, from medicine to marketing and everything in between.
An area that was dramatically changed by the advent of the internet was shopping. Retail eCommerce has been growing globally year-after-year, and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. In 2019, global retail eCommerce sales amounted to $3.5 trillion, and they are projected to reach $6.5 trillion by 2022. Pretty much every product-selling business that wants to remain relevant has an eCommerce strategy. With more than 82.3 million downloads and 3.8 million active sites, WooCommerce is responsible for 26% of online stores in 2020. WooCommerce is a leader in eCommerce with a userbase that grows every day. If you have web development skills and understand marketing fundamentals, you could enjoy a lucrative VBO career as a WooCommerce developer.
DESCRIPTION
Made for WordPress, WooCommerce initially started out in 2008 as WooThemes. In 2011, the company expanded by creating the WooCommerce plugin, which enabled users to convert their WordPress site into a professional eCommerce storefront. In 2017, the founders decided to focus exclusively on eCommerce, and WooCommerce has been thriving ever since. WooCommerce’s core platform is flexible, free, and open-source, allowing developers to create stunning eCommerce sites on WordPress at essentially no cost.
WooCommerce Developer VBOs create customized eCommerce sites for clients using the open-source code and WooCommerce’s variety of plugins. To be a successful WooCommerce developer, you obviously have to be well-versed in WooCommerce and WordPress. You also need to understand how design and development intersect to deliver a dynamic and satisfying user experience.
The success of an eCommerce site is dependent upon how quickly a shopper can find an item, add it to a shopping cart, and make a purchase. Prudent developers must ensure that they create pages that pique visitors’ interests while being easy to navigate. WooCommerce developers can work with any individual or company that wants to sell tangible products online.
