Intro: Hey, everybody. Welcome to Episode 101 of How I Built It. Today I’m talking to my good friend and second repeat guest Chris Lema. Chris is going to tell us all about how he and his team at LiquidWeb built the Managed WooCommerce forum over there. Their goal was to make WooCommerce and e-commerce in general more accessible to people. He’s going to talk through his whole process as well as some important information you need to keep in mind if you’re building an e-commerce website with WooCommerce, or any platform, but we’re going to focus on WooCommerce today.
That is the episode that we’re going to talk about today. Before we get started I do want to tell you about our sponsors. Pantheon, who you’ll hear about a little bit later on in the show, and a new one, Loxi. Today is brought to you by Loxi, from the team behind The Events Calendar, the most popular events plugin on WordPress. Loxi is the online events calendar that makes it easy to display and publish your events on any website. It was built with design in mind to easily fit your website no matter where it’s built. Squarespace, Shopify and beyond. You’ll hear a little bit more about Loxi later on in the show. For now, let’s get to it.
Joe Casabona: Chris, how are you today?
Chris Lema: I’m doing great. Good to see you.
Joe: Good to see you too. I’m excited for this episode. I’m also excited because we are recording this before we both leave for CaboPress, which is a fantastic event that I’m deeply looking forward to.
Chris: It is the best business conference in Cabo. It may also be the only business conference in Cabo, but it’s the best business conference in Cabo.
Joe: See I was about to agree with you, assuming you were stopping at best business conference. So, with the qualifier it’s 100% true.
