Hi there, hope you're having a great Friday!
This is Colm and Simon from CommerceGurus, with a handpicked weekly roundup of eCommerce articles.
In this article, Maria shares some of the most popular WooCommerce support channels as well as different ways to get custom development for your online store.
Whether you’re an online store owner, shop manager, or developer, you’ll likely need some sort of WooCommerce support to keep your store running smoothly and making sure it’s conversion-optimized.
Whether it's code snippets, help forums or having a team on hand for edits and emergencies, it's always useful to know which resources are best when you need support and assistance.

I enjoyed this article from Suzanne Scacca about designing digital product pages, with a particular focus on mobile.
The growth in eBook sales is very interesting ($16.6 billion in 2020) and it's becoming a more and more common way for businesses normally used to client work to dabble in selling products for the first time.
There are some excellent examples of different eBook landing pages and a thorough description of the challenges in designing these for optimum conversions on mobiles.

The Accessibility Resources is a growing list of more than 200+ hand-curated accessibility plugins, tools, articles, case studies, design patterns, assistive technologies, design resources and accessibility standards.
Created by Hannah Milan, she previously worked on a side-project related to people with autism.
So what started as a personal collection of links and notes she collected while building that project is now a website.
She has collected links to tools which helps every creator, so that we can better understand and build software which is more accessible for everyone.

Offering free shipping can be a good way to get your customers over the line in a sale.
However, you might not want to offer free shipping across your entire WooCommerce store. For example, you might sell both smaller and larger products, and only want to offer free shipping for the smaller ones.
WooCommerce isn't without its quirks, and it's shipping settings are definitely not excused from this. In fact, there isn't actually a 'free shipping' setting you can set on a product directly.
This useful blog post from Metorik explains the methods you can use to apply free shipping per product in WooCommerce.

I came across Jack McDade's personal site a couple of months ago and it struck me immediately that it was different.
It has its own personality. Colors, fonts, icons - it's refreshing to see something that looks unique these days. I love clean design but it's hard to be memorable these days.
He's released an icon set called Radical icons - these are hand-drawn SVGs made by him and can be used to spice up a page with some added personality. You can see them used on his own site to good affect.

I mentioned WooSesh in the newsletter a few weeks ago but it's worth another reminder as it begins next week on Tuesday and Wednesday.
There's a terrific lineup of speakers so if you build WooCommerce sites it looks like a great event to be part of and learn something new. It's completely free.
