I know it is all over the place. The menus, the graphics, the text, the domain, it is all over the place. That has never really bothered me because I never wanted to use it for anything more than a sandbox. I never wanted to make money off of it. But, as one gets older, one begins to see the world in different lights. I would have to say my base level Geckoesque greed is bubbling to the top. I would like to make some money now so I may centralize. Or, I may scrap the whole thing.
But, it really doesn’t matter what I do in the mean time. Because when it sits up here as a sandbox, I will be testing the best ways to improve it. Yes, I do not have https yet but that is not such a big deal to me because I know all of what is involved. Cart functionality is always there but no products, which is ok for me too. I am running the most recent versions of Woocommerce and WordPress. The main thing that interests me at this point is being able to post from WordPress to Twitter and Facebook while having the post maintain its appearance exactly how I drew it up. This still eludes me and it really shouldn’t. It bothers me almost to the point where I may get into how to make sure of it technically by writing something myself. But, I doubt it.
As far as hosting goes, the average WooCommerce startup would probably prefer to be a subscriber to WordPress.com rather than to host their own installation. I can understand this. Wix.com, WordPress.com, Weebly.com, Bigcommerce.com, Squarespace.com, and Shopify.com all do roughly the same things. Why worry about administration of a server when that can get taken care of by others? Just worry about the products, posts, and content. I tend to agree that one should not worry about administration. It is the planning of the business that is of primary importance and often the CRM system.
