Web design

WooCommerce is an open-source e-commerce plugin for WordPress. It is designed for small to large online merchants using WordPress. Woocommerce is very popular because of its ease of installation, customization, and the many possibilities it offers to display and optimize e-commerce products.

WordPress (WordPress.org) is a free and open source content management system (CMS) that is very user-friendly. WordPress is written in the PHP developer language and is linked to a MySQL database. Features of WordPress include a plug-in architecture and a template system also known as themes. WordPress was originally created as a blog publishing system, but has rapidly evolved to support other types of web content, including more traditional mailing lists and forums, media galleries, membership sites, and online stores. The multifunctionality of WordPress has led to an increasing number of businesses and entrepreneurs using WordPress to present their website. Many WordPress Webshops using Woocommerce have also been added at a rapid pace. WordPress is also used by over 60 million websites, including 33.6% of the top 10 million websites as of April 2019.

WordPress is one of the most popular content management system solutions in use.

What exactly are WordPress Plugins? WordPress is one of the most used and accessible systems for creating a website. That is why many programs are developed for WordPress by various developers that an end user can use for her website. These programs for WordPress are also called plugins and can easily be installed on your WordPress site. The functionalities that a plugin has are not included in WordPress Themes, for example, plugins offer more diverse functionalities. Plugins are available in a variety of functionalities, such as forms, payment function, bookings and appointments or a webshop option. Most plugins are free and some plugins with extensive functionalities are paid. Often the free plugins also have a paid version that is more extensive. These paid plugins are called premium plugins and offer extra options that the free version does not have. That is why it is useful to know which options these premium plugins offer and whether you can also use them for your company.

Web development

Web development is the work involved in developing a website. Web development can range from developing a simple single static page with plain text to complex web applications. There are three main types of web development: front-end development, back-end development, and full-stack development. The coding languages that are most commonly used are PHP & JavaScript.

Front end refers to the front of the website, which means that what the user sees on the screen falls under the front end. The code languages that a fronted developer is concerned with are HTML/CSS and Javascript. Often a front end developer converts a web design (prototype) design into a real website with the associated codes.

eCommerce

First of all, you need to register your webshop or company with a payment provider. Commonly used payment providers are Mollie, Adyen or Pay.nl. Once the registration is done, you will receive a code (API) that you then place on your webshop to make the connection work. You can set the methods with the payment provider. Commonly used online payment methods are iDEAL, Paypal and the credit card. Other commonly used payment methods are the option to pay (part of the amount) afterwards. For example with AfterPay or Klarna. Another option is that you link your shop with, for example, Stripe or Paypal. You often also need an API code for this.

SEO

SEO services can vary greatly in price depending on how quickly you want to see improved results, the competition for the targeted keywords, and the services included. Local SEO is another area.

SEO services can be quite extensive as it is a highly specialized field that requires expertise, ongoing maintenance, and a significant investment of time and effort. However, the benefits of a well-optimized website can be enormous, making the cost of SEO services well worth it in the long run.

It’s also important to remember that SEO is an ongoing strategy. Search engines and users are constantly changing, and your website needs to keep up to help you generate more revenue. An ongoing monthly SEO investment is one of the best ways to keep your site optimized for maximum traffic, leads, and conversions
