Are you looking to build your own e-commerce website or enhance an existing one? Join us for an insightful session where we’ll dive deep into building and customizing an online store using the powerful WordPress-based WooCommerce platform!

We’re thrilled to welcome John Jovero, who will walk us through the technical steps of creating a robust and highly customized online store. John will be showcasing his work on a real-world WooCommerce store project: katppy.com. This is a fantastic opportunity to see how professional customizations are applied in a live environment.

Key Topics We’ll Cover:

  • Custom Theming with Tailwind CSS: Learn how to create a unique and modern look for your store using the popular utility-first CSS framework.
  • WooCommerce Template Customization: Understand how to modify WooCommerce’s default templates to match your specific design and layout requirements.
  • Essential Free and Commercial Plugins: Get a rundown of the must-have off-the-shelf plugin solutions that can enhance your store’s performance, security, and user experience.
  • Custom Plugin Development: Discover the power of custom plugins to extend WooCommerce functionality beyond its core features.
  • Live Demo (Frontend & Backend): See the Katppy.com store in action, with a guided tour of both the customer-facing frontend and the administrative backend.

You can ask John your burning questions and share your thoughts during the demo and in a Q&A session following the presentation.
