WordPress and WooCommerce
WooCommerce inherits both WordPress's flexibility and its main weakness: a plugin ecosystem that has to coexist cleanly. A good part of my work is understanding what's been layered on over time before proposing a fix or an improvement.

What I do on WordPress and WooCommerce
-
Troubleshooting plugin conflicts
Diagnosing an error or a malfunction caused by the interaction between several extensions.
-
Custom plugin development
A specific feature built as a proper plugin rather than bolted onto a theme.
-
Migration to or from WooCommerce
Carrying over a catalogue and order history from another platform, or the other way round.
-
Performance
Cutting the number of queries and page weight, often tied to a build-up of active plugins.
-
Security
WordPress is a frequent target for automated attacks; updates and configuration hardening.
-
Building specific features
Pricing, shipping or availability rules that don't exist in any standard marketplace extension.
The real risk is the plugins
WordPress itself is a stable system. What makes a WooCommerce site fragile is almost always a build-up of plugins, sometimes poorly maintained, that interact badly with each other or with a core update. Before adding a new extension, I check whether the need can be covered another way, or whether a plugin already in place has a redundant feature.
Block-based page builders make visual layout easier, but also add a further layer of code to maintain. I work with what's already in place, without forcing a tool change unless a concrete problem justifies it.
