What Is WooCommerce and How Does It Work?       

WooCommerce is a popular e-commerce platform that makes it simple to sell products and services. It's a reliable platform that gives you the tools you need to establish a strong eCommerce site and gives you the most control over your business. You may miss out on the following items while building an eCommerce store with WooCommerce. So, here's some more information, as well as a WooCommerce Store Checklist, to help you properly plan your launch.

Examine the colors and imagery associated with the brand.

One of the most important aspects of an eCommerce store is its website design. It's because the more convenient browsing is, the more time individuals spend searching for the things they want to buy. It ensures customer retention; you must ensure that everything on your store, including buttons and features, is functional, easy, and adds value to the experience. So, before you start, think about it.

Make sure your eCommerce store's brand colors are consistent across all pages.

Site Search and Easy Navigation

When potential customers arrive at your store, it is critical that they spend time looking over the merchandise. This necessitates ensuring that the general navigation and functionality of your eCommerce store meet modern requirements.

Use the site to grab their attention and keep it with the best product photos, videos, and attractive copy.

The functionality of the Store

The WooCommerce store's overall functionality is critical. People need navigation to get to pages, but if your business isn't up and running, they can have trouble placing orders. To ensure that every touchpoint in the store is working properly, you must map out your client path.

Check all of the links on the page, including those in the headers and footers, to make sure they're all working (including external site links).

Fill out the contact form and check to see if the submission process is going OK.

Use call to action buttons to get your potential buyers to do the desired action. (For more information, see our blog: Ecommerce Call to Actions - Best Practices.)

Ensure that the site is accessible.

Make sure that persons with disabilities can access your website. Technology is making it much easier for people with disabilities to become more self-sufficient. There are global projects underway to make the digital environment more accessible and accommodating of people with impairments. There are various free plugins available, such as Accessible. To check for WCAG and ADA conformance, start with the WordPress Accessibility test. After your website has been authorized, you can add an accessible element and optimize it by changing the following items.

Specific ECommerce Tasks Should Be Sorted Out

When it comes to opening an eCommerce site, there are a few things to keep in mind.
