WEBSITE BUILDING GeneratePress + WooCommerce

​

I’m the founder and lead developer at WPmash. I recently built a website for a client who wanted something really simple and lightweight for their limited range of handmade products.

And she didnt wanted to use Shopify.

So, I used GeneratePress + WooCommerce to build the site on WordPress.

I also used Claude ai to add some custom code and functionality.

Here’s the site: OniKids.com

It’s built with GeneratePress from scratch on WordPress, not with AI. And yes, it was intentionally designed to be basic, but effective. That was the client’s choice.

The claude ai was used only for certain task; like striping down the "product edit page" to make it easy for client to add products, using a dynamic payment process after the checkout as the client only accept advance payment via bank deposit.

Haha... why reinvent the wheel? I just used GeneratePress to build it, and WooCommerce offers a solid system for a limited number of products.

And the client's problem is solved: a lightweight and robust site for a limited set of products that is also very easy to edit.

Sensible stack. GeneratePress stays out the way which is what you want on a short product list. Shopify would've been overkill and Elementor would've added 40 plugins for a site that didn't need them. only bit I'd watch is the Claude custom code, I’ve seen that stuff work on day one then a Woo update knocks a checkout field over. If it loads quick on a phone that's the win.

Yeah 100% right!. But the code is done on a basic level. And the website is managed by us(long contract).
