Before becoming a UI/UX Designer, I started my career as a Front-End Designer, mainly creating WordPress themes. To sharpen my previous skills and keep up with the latest WordPress trends, I challenged myself to build a simple e-commerce project.

I used Elementor and WooCommerce, two plugins I highly recommend for their flexibility and ease of use. Within just 6 weeks, I was able to develop a fully functional e-commerce platform complete with a real checkout system. This timeline excludes the design and conceptualization phase of the project.

From my experience, building an e-commerce site today is much easier compared to a few years ago. In the past, developers had to build most of the core features from scratch, whereas now, powerful plugins and tools significantly streamline the process.
