    Second blog on the E-commerce website – WooCommerce

    WooCommerce is an open-source e-commerce plugin for WordPress. It is designed for small to large-sized online merchants using WordPress. Launched on September 27, 2011, the plugin quickly became popular for its simplicity to install and customize and free base product.

    Usage
    WooCommerce is used by a number of high-traffic websites such as Small Press Expo. For the 3rd week of September 2015, Trends indicated that WooCommerce ran on 30% of e-commerce sites and millions of active installs. Ecommerce is rapidly growing worldwide and WooCommerce has over 39 million downloads as a plugin and is currently active on more than three million websites and is the most popular eCommerce platform in 2018. WooCommerce has approximately 4% of the top million HTML pages. In 2015, statistics show that the percentage of online stores that utilize WooCommerce through WordPress.org’s plugin is more than 30% of all stores. The current 2019 market share for WooCommerce is 22% of the top 1 million sites using eCommerce technologies.

    Since Automattic’s acquisition WooCommerce has kept gaining market share, and has now become one of the leading E-commerce platforms on the Internet.

    Extensions 
    WooCommerce has attracted significant popularity because the base product, in addition to many extensions and plugins, is free and open-source. In 2018, WooCommerce has near 330 extensions and over 1,000 plugins. In addition, there are thousands of paid add-ons for fixed prices. Many Premium Themes now offer capability with WooCommerce as well as plugins that make a theme framework compatible.

    Service Providers
    If you’re a service provider, selling online can save you a lot of time, money, and hassle. It can also be more convenient for your clients, who may prefer to book appointments, conduct business, and make payments at the time and location of their choosing. But it can be difficult to figure out the best ways to list your offerings, collect payments from your clients, market to the right audience, and integrate with your existing tools.

    WooCommerce provides the solution for all of those concerns with one platform. Even though you may envision online stores selling physical or digital products, there are many companies using WooCommerce to sell services, rent accommodations, and book appointments.

    WooCommerce is a great fit for service-based businesses. Continue reading to learn how to sell services with WooCommerce and how to expand the functionality of your store to best reach your clients.

    The Benefits of Using WooCommerce to Sell Services
    One of the biggest reasons WooCommerce is the best choice for selling your services online is how customizable it is. You can create virtually any design and add endless functionality to your website thanks to the extension library and database of experts. You can ultimately build the perfect, customized solution for your specific audience.

    Keep everything in one place. Rather than using several different platforms to manage your business, you can control it all right in your WordPress dashboard. Edit your website content, add posts to your blog, and manage your clients’ payments without switching windows. And, if you also sell physical or digital products, your orders are all shown on the same screen. This could lead to less confusion, fewer mistakes, and an easier and less time-consuming workflow.

    Make payments easy for your clients. The easier the payment collection process is for your clients, the easier it will be for them to pay you. With WooCommerce, you can simply send your clients a link to the service they’re purchasing, where they can check out on their computer or on their phone, no matter where they’re located.

    Display services more effectively. Display and list your services in a visually-appealing way. You can also make it easy for your clients to filter and search your store so they can find exactly what they’re looking for.

    Up-sell and cross sell. Without downloading or installing a single extension, WooCommerce gives you the ability to make suggestions for related services and offer clients upgraded service plans when they’re checking out.

    Charge recurring payments. Do you charge monthly for services or put clients on a payment plan? Use WooCommerce with the Subscriptions extension to automatically charge your client’s account. No more chasing after them to pay!

    Easily integrate with your existing tools. WooCommerce integrates with dozens of platforms for email marketing, payment processing, accounting, and client management.

  • To Blog or Not to Blog…..

    19 April 2017
    It seems like forever since we have written and posted a new blog over here at Nexonta Technologies Inc., if you have ever kept a blog or a journal I am sure that you would agree that there are several reasons for writing with the main ones being, one has something to say, one is documenting a certain period in time, one is writing for SEO reasons or one feels the need to share information that the world cannot life without. Whatever reason for Blogging I feel it’s pretty safe to say that it does require a certain courage and confidence.

    I remember in the early days of twitter right around when it was becoming more and more popular with users and many businesses would post the same message over and over again throughout the day simple repeating the name of the business and the services that they offered until those in the know told tweeters that they should make their message compelling and interesting for followers to engage their message and as you would guess most businesses stopped tweeting because this would require a certain amount or honest and open communication with the audience thus leaving the company vulnerable to judgement. Kind of like when an artist puts out a piece, could be a painting or a sculpture or a song. The artist is never quite sure how the public will respond to the work however if the work was created with a certain amount of intelligence and honesty then chances are it will finds its critics and admirers.

    I think when we started blogging it was important to put a personal message out there because people resonate with your company’s message. In our experience if clients like and trust you then they will engage your services. Today the world is changing rapidly and more and more your message matters. It is no longer good enough just to exist in the business environment companies today especially large corporations are being asked to take a stand against issues that affect humanity. Corporations are being asked to throw their weight around and actively get involved to protect the little guy who can’t protect himself, a move which would have been business suicide twenty years ago yet today it’s almost expected that if one has a voice then they better use it.

    Today more than ever it is important to blog, we are living in an age where conversations matter and since we have entered into a new phase in life there will be plenty to be actively blogging about.

  • Happy 10th Anniversary, WordPress!

    Happy 10th Anniversary, WordPress!

    30 May 2013
    Happy 10th Anniversary, WordPress!

    WP10Today, WordPress celebrates its tenth anniversary and we wanted to take a moment to congratulate them. Ten years is a hefty amount of time by any standard—to put it in web terms, WordPress is older than Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr, Pinterest, and of course Envato.

    WordPress is a free and open source blogging tool and a content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL which runs on a Web hosting service. It has many features including a plug-in architecture and a template system. WordPress is used by over 14.7% of Alexa Internet’s “top 1 million” websites and as of August 2011 manages 22% of all new websites. WordPress is currently the most popular blogging system in use on the Web, powering over 60 million websites worldwide.

    It was first released on May 27, 2003, by founders Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little. As of April 2013, version 3.5 had been downloaded over 18 million times. WordPress has come from humble beginnings – starting from a single piece of code in 2003, designed to enhance the look and feel and layout of everyday blogging projects, to an international platform used by almost half of the top blogs in the world.

    It’s amazing what can happen in a decade. Since 2003, WordPress has grown from a veritably unknown platform used by merely a handful of people, to the largest self-hosting blogging platform in the world. Today marks the WordPress 10th Anniversary – and all over the world, WordPress enthusiasts will meet up, celebrate, and share stories about their own WordPress journeys.

    Because WordPress’ key developers share a passion for jazz music, all major releases of WordPress since version 1.0 have been codenamed in honour of some of the all time great jazz musicians – from Miles Davis to Ella Fitzgerald. In fact, the tradition of naming releases after jazz greats has been broken only once, in 2006, with the release of WordPress 2.0.5. This version was named Ronan in a congratulatory nod to Ryan Boren after the birth of his son – the first WP baby.

    Davis, released 3 January 2004

    WordPress 1.0 marked the first version of the software to be named after a famous jazz musician – in this case one of the most revered American jazz trumpeters and composers, Miles Davis (1926 – 1991). This release added features designed to match the leading tool in the market at that time, which was Movable Type. These features included search engine friendly permalinks, multiple categories, super-simple installation and upgrade, comment moderation and more.

    Elvin, released 11 December 2012

    The most recent major release at the time of WordPress’ 10th Anniversary, version 3.5 was named after jazz drummer, and another member of the John Coltrane Quartet, Elvin Jones (1927 – 2004). This release featured a completely re-imagined and streamlined interface for uploading photos and creating galleries, a refreshed style of dashboard, a new colour picker, and support for Apple’s Retina Display by making everything retina-ready with high-resolution graphics. In the days leading up to the WordPress 10th Anniversary, WordPress 3.5 had been downloaded more than 20 million times.

    WordPress began as only a blogging system, but over the past decade has evolved into a full content management system limited only by the imaginations of users, as so impeccably illustrated by the thousands of user-created plugins, widgets and themes used worldwide for further WordPress customisation.

    No matter what the future has in store for WordPress, there is no denying the powerful effect the platform has had on the web over the past decade. For that, WordPress, we salute you. Happy 10th Anniversary.
