Този месец на Sofia WordPress Meetup ще си говорим за нещо, което вълнува много хора в общността: как се изгражда успешен онлайн магазин през 2026 година – практично, устойчиво и с мисъл за растеж. Наш гост-лектор ще бъде Георги Тодоров – WordPress специалист с над 10 години опит и дългогодишен фокус върху WooCommerce и темата WoodMart. В лекцията ще разгледаме изграждането на успешен онлайн магазин през 2026 година, с фокус върху WooCommerce и темата WoodMart. Ще обсъдим как да изберем подходящ хостинг за старт на онлайн магазин, който осигурява надеждност и оптимален обем ресурси за стабилна работа и растеж. Лекцията включва и изграждането на ефективен plugin stack, с акцент върху кеширане, интеграции с куриерски услуги и маркетинг платформи, както и плъгини, съобразени с добрите практики за сигурност и производителност.
