I was once asked to build an ecommerce website with a huge product catalog in a short period of time. I got to researching and found several content management systems to choose from. After several hours attempting to use one of them without much success I decided to install and try WordPress. Using WordPress’ templating system coupled with WooCommerce I was able to get up and running quickly with a professional looking webstore. The need arose when I needed more control to customize the site and integrate certain features and business logic. I delved into the developers repository to discover so much more, and the rest is history.
