Point, Click, and Done
For many aspiring online sellers, the main challenge has been the complexities of technology. While WordPress aims to simplify website creation, it often requires additional plugins and configurations to set up a complete site.
Bluehost has streamlined this process into simple point-and-click steps. The journey begins with an on-boarding process where essential components like WooCommerce, Yoast, and custom block themes are automatically installed.
Users are then guided through a series of steps to make the website functional, such as connecting a payment processor, using a menu system based on tabs that include:
- General Settings
- Add Products
- Customize Your Store
- Advanced Features
- Launch Your Store
Each step is accompanied by contextual documentation to assist users in need of additional information. Pre-built block pattern templates make it simple to create important pages, and optional advanced features such as customer wishlists, product filters, gift card sales, and a customizable customer account page enhance the overall functionality.
Users start with a template that can be customized using intuitive, labeled contextual menus, making it easy to modify background images, fonts, and colors.

WordPress is a popular platform for building eCommerce sites, but it’s often too complex for some business owners to manage on their own. This complexity has driven the popularity of site builder platforms with proprietary technologies.
Bluehost has made a remarkable advancement by making WordPress easy for almost anyone to use. Their solution allows users to build an advanced eCommerce site with features like selling gift cards, all through a straightforward interface.
Ed Jay, President of Newfold Digital, the parent company of Bluehost, YITH, and Yoast, stated:
