If you’ve ever considered building your own website, whether it’s to promote a business, or launch an online store, you’ve probably heard of Wix and Tilda.

Wix is easily one of the most popular “all-purpose” ecommerce website builders around, promising exceptional ease of use, and a wide range of features.

Tilda has fewer ecommerce features than Wix, but it excels in offering companies a platform where they can build a beautiful, professional-looking website in minutes.

It’s also one of the few website builders to offer an entirely free plan.

So, which option should you choose?

When you’ve been in ecommerce for over 10 years you learn one hard truth: if your pages aren’t indexed they don’t exist. Search engines can’t rank what they don’t know about and that means lost traffic, sales and growth for your store.

I’ve spent years fighting slow indexing, submitting URLs manually or waiting weeks for search engines to catch up with my updates for ecommerce products.

That’s why I was interested when I heard about Instaindex, a Shopify app that uses the IndexNow protocol to send updates directly to search engines like Bing.

For well over a decade, I’ve helped other ecommerce businesses grow, as a consultant, and a mentor.

During that time, I’ve experimented with countless ecommerce platforms, but Shopify is the one I keep coming back to – and recommending to my clients.

As you’re about to see in my guide to Shopify pricing – it’s not the most “affordable” platform out there – there are definitely cheaper tools with similar features.

As an e-commerce consultant I’ve seen many online businesses struggle to choose the right platform to grow. Two names that always come up in these conversations are Shopify and ClickFunnels.

Both are powerful tools for online sellers but serve different purposes in the digital world.

Shopify has established itself as an all in one e-commerce solution, with a full suite of tools to build and manage online stores.

Adding Cash App as a payment option on Shopify is an excellent way to expand payment flexibility and increase sales.

This guide provides detailed steps, tips, and tools to help you integrate Cash App into your Shopify store, ensuring a smooth experience for you and your customers.

When I first started looking into the best upsell plugins for WooCommerce, I realized just how valuable these tools can be for boosting my store’s average order value.

With the right plugin at my disposal, I can subtly encourage my customers to explore more expensive, feature-rich versions of the products they already love, without feeling like I’m pushing too hard.

Because WooCommerce sits on top of the incredibly versatile WordPress platform, adding upsell features to my site is a breeze.

You run on Wix but want the advanced eCommerce features of Shopify? Good news: Wix and Shopify can connect and you can have the best of both worlds.

This guide will show you how to connect Wix and Shopify so you can use Wix for design and Shopify for products, inventory and orders.

The ultimate Shopify $1 offer is back! If you’re ready to launch a new ecommerce store, you can now access Shopify’s plans for just $1 per month for the first three months.

If you’re familiar with Shopify (one of the best ecommerce platform providers in the world), you probably know they’ve offered this deal before.

However Shopify deals change quickly. For instance, between January 2024, and November 2024, you could only take advantage of the $1 for one month.

More than a decade of experience working in the web development and design space has given me a hands-on insight into just how important the right theme can be.

An impressive theme doesn’t just make your Shopify store look better – it’s the key to increasing conversions and customer loyalty.

The Be Yours Shopify theme, with more than 500 reviews, and a 98% positive rating on the Shopify theme marketplace, is a popular choice for all kinds of merchants.

I put this theme to the test on a demo store, to bring you this behind-the-scenes guide, and help you decide if it’s the right option for you.

Choosing the ideal Shopify theme is the key to creating an attractive, customer-focused storefront that drives consistent sales.

I know from personal experience as a long-term web developer how crucial the right theme can be, but choosing the best option isn’t easy.

Shopify gives companies endless freedom to choose from a range of free and premium themes, both offered by its own theme marketplace, and external vendors.

Unlike many of the other themes I’ve tried, which attempt to target many different store owners, the Layla theme is a highly niche-specific solution, focused exclusively on furniture stores.

I put this theme to the test with a demo store, to discover whether it can really help furniture sellers increase conversions and delight customers.

Finding the ideal theme for your Shopify store isn’t easy, particularly if you’re running a B2B business with a limited budget. Most of Shopify’s free themes are simple, but great for beginners in the B2C landscape. The Trade Shopify theme is different.

Introduced in 2024, “Trade” is a free theme specifically designed for B2B merchants.

As a website developer myself, I can definitely say I’ve seen more advanced theme options out there, but the Trade theme does offer a great starting point to B2B sellers who need access to specific features, such as sign-up forms for wholesale partners, and volume pricing rules.

So, is this the ideal starter theme for your B2B store?
