Create Your Own Online Store (Using WordPress) in a Weekend

Having bought and devoured Alannah Moore's first two WordPress books, I pre-ordered this book as soon as I read of its availability. This book matches her first two books in having a perfect balance between information and design, transferring her knowledge in the most accessible of writing styles. For anyone interested in setting up an online store, look no further. Perfect!

Fantastic book: very detailed, very well presented, very practical. It covers a vast range of web solution for online stores (not just Wordpress). There are comparison tables between the various options. I love this book. A must for anyone wanting to open their first online store.

Great for a someone starting to use wordpress, a nice overview of what can be done. Although while waiting for the book to be delivered I had the oppertunity to 'play around' with wordpress and found it almost as easy to understand without the use of this book. That being said the later chapters and very useful. Real world example of sites for hosting, purchasing website names etc are a great help when first starting at looking to build a website from scratch.

This is a good book if you are looking for a broad overview of how to setup a web store in a weekend (using various Wordpress based websites). However if you're looking for a detailed manual / guide to using Wordpress then is this is not for you - despite the title the book only devotes one chapter to using Wordpress setup (about 20 pages) as you can imagine this it's high level and of little value.

Want to make webstore? Think its too hard? Read this book. You really can set up a small simple store in a weekend using Word Press.

I have this book and also 'Create your own website with Wordpress in a weekend ' book. Both a very well written, very clear and well illustrated. I have built my own website and am not a web designer and have found Alaanh's books to be very helpful. In fact I have recommended both books to fellow business people who are looking to build their own site.

A clear and global explication on online website. Alannah Moore approaches all basic issues with clarity and simple vocabulary. You will have a general idea on all important points even if you are not a technology geek and/or an english mother tongue speaker.You will have all the tools to get started: commerce solutions, set up process to help you to create your online store, payments, seo and marketing suggestions, how integrate social media… basically, everything you have not thought about and you need. The explanations and the design and illustrations are very pleasant and help to make the content clearer.Absolutely not to be missed and to be recommended to all those who have a small business and want to give it a try without investing in a web agency (and even so, you will have a much wide knowledge of the issue, and you will be able to express your need with more efficiency).I would also suggest her book "create your own website using wordpress) as a basic. Very useful to have a start on the way these systems work.

Great book! Tons of information including many, many resources.One of the best books I've read on this subject. Unfortunately, many books I've purchased on this subject were poorly disguised "advertisements" for an online course or consulting practice, etc. Clearly, the author has done her research and gives step-by-step instructions on how to begin what can be a very complicated and technically difficult process. Highly recommended​!

Answers many questions and debunks pesky myths about online selling. Great brainstorming exercises. That said, it takes more than a long weekend to set up an online store for the first time but provides a weekend's worth of much-needed info in one organized space.

Creating the store "in a weekend" might be a little optimistic for some fledgling entrepreneurs. A catchy title sells books! The author provides so many helpful resources which should be researched that one could fall prey to analysis paralysis. That said, the book is an excellent way to kick start the process of putting together the elements of an online retail operation which is a glove fit for the individual seeking it. If every step were followed exactly as the author suggests them success would be a very likely result. Of the books I have read on this topic, this is certainly a good one, quite complete; it furnishes plenty of food for thought but sadly not the capital required.

Good book. Arrived very quickly and is reasonably easy to follow and understand even though I am very unskilled when it comes to computers.

Product works and I'm very satisfied
