Web Developer - Shopify Is The New Wordpress But 10x Better

[@rick.knowlton]

Bro. I needed this. It's so refreshing hearing a dev just tell it how it is, man. Right now I'm dealing with a client that has some peculiar demands and the thing that makes the most sense to me is to build both a Wordpress AND Shopify site. Wordpress because they want CMS abilities (restaurant/brewery/venue) and Shopify because they want to be able ship their beer as well as sell tickets to shows. They're also set up to have multiple locations and they'll need to change menu items for their restaurant and bar on the fly. Anyways, this video helped a lot. I did NOT realize Hydrogen was a thing and as a React developer this was like a lightning strike.

not even close, Wordpress has strong community and its free, solutions are everywhere when you encounter error.

Folks Shopify is killing it this year and providing so much opportunities for us developers to make money independently. If you want to learn Shopify Development and Get 20% OFF CODINGPHASE use the link below. bit.ly/3r7ansD

That only applies if WordPress is being used for e-commerce, stop comparing the two , do better

Wish I would’ve found this channel before I enrolled in a full stack course..finally somebody who look like me, even tho I’m black and I’m assumin he Dominican prolly..whenever you look up coding it’s a video wit a white boy or an asain which ain’t nothing wrong with that, but representation matters, and seeing a dude who talks like me and is presumably from where I’m from(I’m from Jersey he’s definitely from Jersey or ny) is exactly what I was lookin for 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@CodingPhase]

Yea bro that’s why I made this channel I still haven’t found another channel I can actually relate with. But yeah don’t worry keep doing what you doing when you ready to pivot come check out my site look at the hall of fame we get results codingphase.com

[@Angelxoxo757]

Thank you for posting this video. I am eager to see more videos on the subject of Shopify theme development.🦋

[@hebanano]

Always keeping it real, Joe. Thank you so much for all the free tips and tricks you give us.

[@shemaiahdenise]

I just started a full stack development bootcamp for the purpose of building themes for shopify, WordPress, etc... to sell

[@busyrand]

Joe is Da GOAT in terms of spotting trends within the industry. Thanks for the update Bro....

Thank you joe for all the jems.

[@tanveerulhoque6803]

i am a react js dev but i have some experience working in shopify theme development.what should i do now?Any suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks

[@onyeka14]

Start creating new themes and sell them

[@MrDunlop707]

What about HTML email development, is this still a good place to start in 2023?

[@CodingPhase]

Yes. Just because I talk about different subjects on the channel don't mean that email development is no longer good place for beginners. trust me the day that happens I will let everyone know and remove it from my site.

[@bripowered]

Thanks, Joe! Solid info.

[@future_teknokrat7585]

Honest question, what is the difference between learning Shopify theme and web app development versus being a full stack developer? On the surface it seems like the learning process is no different. The only difference being that you can freelance.

[@CodingPhase]

It’s the same just with a focus on certain skills for example Shopify theme development is front end but you need to know how Shopify works to build themes.

[@parksjack7388]

Nice video bro! Can you make one about Shopify Functions? I'm having a hard time with that, specially Shopify bundles

[@Alex.Shalda]

thanks for the video

[@nerdsinthetrap7748]

Man, love the channel but have to disagree here lol. Shopify is definitely the king of ecom but no way I see it replacing WP lol! WordPress is just much more flexible and versatile. To each his own tho. Thanks for the great content!

[@CodingPhase]

Gots to do your googles my guy lol new companies are choosing Shopify and wix. There’s definitely way more Wordpress sites but that’s legacy sites. There’s no reason for someone in 2023 to choose Wordpress when it’s not secure and the quality of apps are nowhere near as polish as Shopify and wix. But what do I know I’m just a random dude with a hat 🧢 on lol thanks for watching

[@nerdsinthetrap7748]

@@CodingPhase Naw you know your sh*t bro lol but I think it all depends on what lane your in. I work with a lot of nonprofits and news organizations where everybody is on WP and it makes the most sense. It's still way ahead for content management systems and the flexibility you have. As far as security WP can be just as secure as anything if you're doing it right. I do a lot of NextJS / Headless WP but there's also SSG hosting services like Strattic which gives you all the security of a static site using WP. So there are solutions. I guess I'm just not a fan of vendor lock-in either and prefer open-source but agree to disagree. Keep up the great work tho 👌🏽

Very good video!!!

[@palomarAI]

Awesome! Wondering what's a good direction for non-ecommerce small business clients or if WP is still king there.

[@CodingPhase]

Hydrogen is the answer you can use Shopify as headless cms and then use hydrogen as your front end for users to see your site.

[@gabrielfono844]

Agree with you

[@josephmyalla3611]

Real great content, inspiring and testimony, will there be themes for hydrogen based shopify store fronts?

[@jefferymuter4659]

Ive personally heard it 50/50 the last 12 months from my prospects. Some have wordpress, some are starting things out on shopify and giving it a go. Personally, as a React dev, I want to pick wordpress up and PHP, but I want to play with Shopify this year for sure.

[@donovan8031]

@CodingPhase but for real Joe, when that CodingPhase anime dropping tho!? Lol. JK, but do have a question. What is your thoughts on the layoffs happening at Shopify? No shade at Shopify, I’m actually leaning Shopify at my job and your Liquid course on CodingPhase.

[@CodingPhase]

They tried to grow just like everyone but that was a fake stimulus from the pandemic now things back to normal so they have to let people go no point in paying employees to stand around

[@albertmcknight1685]

All the fee's you have to pay for Shopify naw I'm good I strongly disagree 😔

[@CodingPhase]

Bro that’s the difference between someone who has a profitable business and the ones that don’t. If you paying attention to 50 dollars you ain’t really making money do something else bro

[@albertmcknight1685]

@@CodingPhase I get your point but with all the plugins with words press and total control of your website WordPress can't be beat by Shopify.

[@vapornation2615]

⁠​⁠@@CodingPhasereally bro you’re funny if you’re actually making money you DONT want to use Shopify they take 2.7% roughly of your sales for someone making little money that’s nothing but when you’re making 500k a month forget it. With Shopify you’d be giving away $140,000 a year! You can literally pay to have something custom built. And have a much lower cc fee %. Also, the reason those big companies will use Shopify is endorsement deals and they’ll negotiate a lower percentage for real huge business….. Shopify is great but when you’re making real money the exact opposite of what you said is true. By the way idc how much money you got $50 is $50 why throw it away…..what you said is idiotic.

[@voxdoodle7266]

So you’re getting paid to say this because you’re promoting Shopify

[@CodingPhase]

Shopify don't need to pay me just look up which is the best platform. Google is free buddy
