A lot of people have this idea that A WordPress +WooCommerce Combo is the root of all evil. It’s not hard to set up and it won’t take you more than say twenty minutes if that. If you follow my tips you will be sporting an awesome little shop just like the awesome chick over at Missevilkitty.com. This can and will work for anything you sell, may that be Jewellery, Tea, planners, anything that needs an online shop! I’ll be using Missevilkitty.com as an example threw out this post !!
