Headless WordPress with Next.js: what it is, what it gives you, what it costs (plugins, preview, two systems) and when regular WordPress is enough. Written by someone who has shipped a headless WooCommerce store.
WooCommerce or Shopify? An honest comparison for store owners: the cost after 2 years, transaction fees, payments and shipping in Poland - and when Shopify is the better choice.
Shoper or WooCommerce? I compare both without automatically defending either one - costs, limits, flexibility and the moment when switching platforms makes sense.
wc_get_orders instead of WP_Query, $order->get_meta() instead of get_post_meta: how to write HPOS-compatible WooCommerce order code, how to use meta_query and field_query, how to check the storage with OrderUtil and how to audit old snippets. Complete examples, verified on WooCommerce 11.0.1.
PrestaShop or WooCommerce? Instead of a 10-category table: 4 questions that settle the choice - catalog and variants, integrations, content, who will maintain it. From experience on both sides, with a section on when PrestaShop is the better pick.
WooCommerce HPOS: what it is, what it changes in the order database, when it is worth enabling and when it is not, how to check your plugins and custom code, and how to migrate orders without losing them (staging, backup, WP-CLI). Plus the change in WooCommerce 10.7.
A website from Lovable, v0 or ChatGPT without a developer? An honest take: when vibe coding is enough, and when you end up with code nobody is answerable for - security, GDPR, the cost after a year, ownership. Sourced numbers, no scare tactics.
Wix vs WordPress? Instead of a list of differences: 4 questions that settle the choice, a two-year cost comparison and an honest answer on when a website builder (Wix, Framer) is all you need. No ideology.
How much does a WordPress business website cost in 2026? Real price ranges, a quote broken down into its components and the yearly costs price lists stay quiet about. Plus an honest answer on when you simply do not need a website worth thousands.
AI generates a website in three minutes, yet quotes from developers have not dropped. Here is what actually got cheaper in a web project, what you still pay for, and when a free AI website genuinely is enough.
