WooCommerce is the leading e-commerce shop system in the WordPress universe. The free plugintransforms your WordPress website into a fully equipped online shop - all with just one click. In addition to the many advantages of WooCommerce , the shop system also has some disadvantages that need to be taken into account. Our WooCommerce expert Tino explains which factors you should consider when setting up your shop.

The new staging banner is here
A few days ago we rolled out a new banner for our staging environment. This is online in version 1.0 for now and will be continuously extended with useful features. The goal of the new banner is that you can move it to where it bothers you the least while developing. We would be happy if you would test the banner and give us your feedback.
React for web designers
The new WordPress editor aka "Gutenberg" is based on the JavaScript framework "React". Does this mean that as a WordPress web designer you now have to learn React? Not necessarily! If you are curious now anyway, the colleagues from Framer have a nice React introduction for beginners in the bag.
