Is WordPress / WooCommerce right
for you?
We typically find that the combination of WordPress and WooCommerce is perfect for customers who have content rich sites that want to add on a shopping cart, or those customers who do not want a SaaS solution. It is also one of the best options if you are building a membership site or selling online training.
OOTB there is a rich set of plugins and modules available for the platform making it very extensible, however care needs to be taken around only using modules and themes from trusted vendors.
The last consideration with the platform is that it needs to be regularly updated (monthly) through the application of patches and security updates. If this is done and a solid security approach adopted, then WordPress/WooCommerce can be a great starter platform for many businesses.
