WordPress & WooCommerce Businesses (Part 2) *

From Maker to Market

Take your WooCommerce site live with products, payments, and search-friendly content. This is Part 2 of a hands-on, two-part workshop.

In this second session of the two-part workshop, attendees will take the next step in building a complete, customer-ready eCommerce site using WordPress and WooCommerce. With a pre-installed site ready to go, this hands-on course focuses on setting up an online store that performs well and is easy to find.

Participants will learn how to add products with search-friendly titles and descriptions, organize items with categories, and upload optimized images for fast loading. The course also covers how to connect secure payment options, manage orders through WordPress and the Woo App, and apply simple SEO techniques—like readable URLs, keywords, and image tags—to improve discoverability and drive traffic.

This session builds on the foundation from Part 1, which will be offered on two different dates. Attendees should complete Part 1 before joining this session.
