Easy to follow and execute. Highly recommended for newbie who never learn about WooCommerce/Wordpress.

This was a great course for me. I went from zero knowledge to being able to feel fairly competent in building an ecommerce store. I like that I had a fully functional store by following along Tim Sharp's course. Of course I had to pause and rewind while I did my part after seeing how he created his website. If I had any complaint, it would be that some of the software menus, especially the third party software plugins, have changed since he made his course. However, I was able to figure out my way through them. Mr. Sharp doesn't waste any time and gives you just the essentials you need. There are so many features in wordpress and the other plugins but he cuts through to what you need now. He is such a good teacher that I gave him 5 stars.

Good course to get up and running. Pros- 1. covers all the important basics to get started. 2. Explanations are brief and to the point. There are not many lecture that you may feel like you’re wasting time with over explanation or repetition that feels pointless or like padding. 3. Video shows screen details that are clear and easy to follow. Cons - 1. Wordpress has updated and now some of the details have changed so screens may not be exactly the same. 2. People who like comprehensive depth, including coding and exhaustive options will find this course too brief.

Very concise and to the point course. It needs to be updated though to match the latest version of Wordpress and woocommerce. Nonetheless I was able to take the concept and key points and apply those to the newest version. PayPal doesn’t come packaged with woocommerce and so that section definitely needs an update. Also videos related to setting up PayPal businesses account and setting up test accounts would be quite helpful. Thank you Tim for this wonderful course.

Experience in software completely different, can't do it the same way. Question that address this (most popular) is not answered.

There was unimportant parts like dropshipping from Aliexpress and important things missing. For example how to create greate awesome homepage. There was just couple min video for that and there wasn't shown for example how to add products to best sellers etc.

Great stuff - easy to follow and understand - though some features must have changes since the tutorial.

Considering the course was published in 2020, it could use some updating as changes were made to Gutenberg WP layout, otherwise an excellent introduction to understanding and using Wordpress & Woo Commerece

Well designed and informative course but lost half a star because it hasn't been updated for a while.

A simple way to get introduced to the woocommerce ecosystem. I am now looking for a more in-depth course with more details on advanced plugin, hopefully Tim will build such course in the future

For those who want to build an e-commerce site with WordPress and WooCommerce, this is the step-by-step course that will show you just that with zero programming knowledge needed. Don’t let the short lecture duration fool you, there’s no shortage of content as everything is succinct. Totally recommended even for beginner or intermediate web developers as WordPress, WooCommerce and a quality hosting provider will take care of the very challenging aspects of website security, responsive design, inventory management systems and so much more.

We watched the whole course first; now we'll go back and watch it again (but this time we'll actually do all the actions shown). This course was created a while ago and a lot has changed on the internet (and with WordPress); we are hoping that everything will work now in 2022!

This is a great introductory course, a must take, the only thing is that from the time it was recorded some process has change a little and therefore some content looks different now, but I been able to follow and complete all the sections finding out the little differences, so it does not affect the great content the instructor is giving to us and the ease way to follow each lesson, again this is a great introductory course!

Wordpress is a bit different now, so in the regard the course is outdated. But other than that, it is straight to the point and easy to follow.
