I had to make a store this fall for an e-commerce course. They had to be added to our already existing websites and published for our class and instructor to review. Mine was for an ethical fashion boutique. I used Woocommerces and Stripe payment as my main add on plugins. Here below are some stills of my site and my overall thoughts.
Overall with no experience building or working on an e-commerce store before I think I did okay. I would like to be able to spend some money on buying the services I think to work the best (within a budget) versus only using what is free. However, I do recognize that for many small businesses that is how they start. So it was a wonderful experience to see what I could do with my time limit, lack of budget and knowledge. It pushed me to look at e-commerce stores differently and appreciate them in a way I had not before.
