For the tools that we will use to create the website online store From this series of articles Systematic body or main platform, we will use WordPress to create a website.

What is WordPress?

WordPress is a web application that allows us to easily create a website without which we don’t need to know programmer you don’t need to know the code to write a website. It may look similar to Window, which is an operating system. It allows us to use computers easily and this is convenient.

WordPress was originally a blogging tool, but over time it has evolved into a website building tool. Today, 32% of websites worldwide are powered by WordPress.

In addition to the tool called WordPress, we also need 3 other tools to work with WordPress to help you. Build an online shopping site that you can actually use. The mentioned tools are as follows.

1. Woocommerce is  a plugin that turns your regular WordPress site into a full-fledged online store. We can also download this plugin for free. At present, from the statistics of the online store in the world, 47% of the websites created from Woocommerce.

2. How to register a domain

Domain naming conventions (site name) are as follows

• Domain names should be short and concise so that people can remember them easily.
• The domain name must be in English.
• Names should be pronounced and easy to hear.
• Give it a name that reflects what you do (if you can).
• Do not assign a domain name that is difficult to spell or difficult to type.
• There should be no hyphens (-), like my-domain.com. Because it may confuse people or misprint
• Choose the .com extension as most people are familiar with it. But if you can’t take notes, that’s okay. (Because someone already wrote that name) He can look up other surnames, no problem but don’t use a name that sounds unusual.

Domain registration costs around 400-1000 baht, and the price of a domain is cheap or expensive depending on which domain extension we choose to use.

What is the best place to register a domain?

There are many domain registrars out there. But the domain registrar companies I recommend are as follows: (Domain registration service prices for each company may not be the same.)

But for this article, I will mainly recommend how to register a domain at Hostatom because my web domain is also registered with it. And in order for you to follow the steps I described. I suggest you to come and write the service at the same place where I stay.

3. How to choose and hire a host

Hosting is the area used to store images, data and files for displaying our website. It will be like a store website. That we should hire him, for sure.

Will web performance be good or bad? The host plays a very important role. Before we choose the hosting service that the service provider is good with what we need to know first is the hosting recommended by WordPress, what are the specifications? But most hosting descriptions are only in technical terms, in short, here are some tips for choosing hosting.

• If you are a beginner, you must use a Thai host. If you get stuck, you can talk to the host to find out.
• The management system behind the home (control panel) must be DirectAdmin.
• The PHP web server version must use PHP 7.4.
• In DirectAdmin, there should be an auto-installer to help install WordPress as well. The host must have Softaculous, if the host we are using has this. We will be able to install WordPress itself very easily. So we don’t have to create the database ourselves, no need for FTP files either.
• The host should provide Let’s Encrypt – Free SSL/TLS certificates so we can make our site HTTPS free.
• Hosting packages should not restrict domains and subdomains. (Because we have to do many sites)
• As for the host region, you have nothing to fear. Choose to get a package. On average, a small to medium WordPress site If we do the site right, our site will be no more than 500MB in size.
• Another problem is the bandwidth for sending internet data abroad. If the hosting network is not good abroad, there will be a problem that is often encountered, which is Facebook link sharing. Then the image does not appear. At this point, we sometimes don’t know which off-line host is good or bad. You can even hire a host to try it out.

But of course for the sake of simplicity you still can’t decide which host to use? I recommend you to use this host, Hostatom, which is the one I use. And you will be able to follow the steps to use it from this article

From the picture, it can be seen that WordPress is the main platform, but different functions or modify the appearance of the web page, we will customize through themes and plugins.

90% of WordPress sites that create shopping carts use the Woocommerce plugin. This means that if Woocommerce releases a new version. Different systems may change more or less. Good theme needs to be updated to work with Woocommerce too.

Tips for choosing a theme for web building online stores are as follows:

• Premium themes should be used. (Paid themes)   Free themes are very limited. And no flexibility will issue a ready-made site that we can customize to your liking. Or according to the ideas we have, but if we choose to use a theme driven active mood it is as if we are buying Lego bricks. We buy one theme and get one bag of parts. Our job is to put these parts together to create a website that looks nothing like it. According to our ideas, it is like the way we build Lego blocks of any shape.
• Always Updated   A good theme should always be updated to work on the latest version of WordPress.
• Updated to   the latest version of Woo (v3+).
• It has reasonable sales  Anyone can create a theme and sell it on ThemeForest, but not every theme sold on ThemeForest will sell well. Theme creators often stop developing themes. Or update the theme to support new versions of WordPress and Woocommerce. If we continue to use this theme, there is a great risk that our website will not work when it is updated.
• There are tutorials on how   to set up a topic on YouTube.   Creating a WordPress site is not difficult, we don’t need to write code. But it is not easy. Because it contains a lot of details and each theme has a different setup. If we want to buy any theme try to search for the name of the theme on YouTube if the theme contains a tutorial. This will help us learn to make the web faster itself.
• There is   a Facebook group to help with questions and answers.   In some themes it will create a Facebook group to support people using the same theme. Where we’re stuck, we can go and ask questions. But only some features are available.
• Where to buy high quality themes from themeforest.net
