Web Host reminds Wordpress site owners about their e-shop options

Web hosting provider and digital agency, NuBlue, is reminding the 68 million Wordpress website owners worldwide that their website can be more than an online brochure and blog through the addition of an e-commerce shop.

NuBlue says the Wordpress e-commerce solution is ideal for small businesses who already have a Wordpress-powered website and access to the developer who built it.

Businesses wishing to sell a relatively small quantity of products online, or products with a very simple pricing structure, find a Wordpress e-shop a useful and cost-effective way to engage in e-commerce. They can take payments through Paypal or SagePay with which a Wordpress e-commerce shop can integrate.

Although a Wordpress e-commerce site is not as rich in features as Magento, Prestashop or Opencart, it is ideal for Wordpress site owners wanting an easy-to-manage shop that has a simple backend functionality.

NuBlue’s Technical Director, Tom Ashworth, says: “NuBlue hosts a large number of websites that take online transactions and e-commerce is one of our specialities as a web hosting provider. We have a wide variety of clients, from those with feature-packed e-shops that require Magento for its flexibility and multi-faceted functionality, to those operating shops that use off-the-shelf Opencart templates.

“We often see business owners who could be using the Wordpress e-commerce option alongside their existing site, but few of them realise this. If you only wish to sell a little online, the Wordpress e-shop is probably perfectly adequate and an easy addition to your existing Wordpress website. It needs a little developer input to set it up, but should then be a stress-free shop that can give you an e-commerce presence online”.

Guiding businesses towards the right e-shop for them is one of NuBlue’s areas of expertise. Its specialised web hosting service is scalable and tailored to suit the needs of the individual client. In this way, it can grow with a client’s business. More information is available at nublue.co.uk.
