Rebuilding a WooCommerce store from scratch on Gutenberg & Storefront
Task:
Complete restructuring and optimization of the existing online store on the WordPress/WooCommerce platform. The main requirement of the client is a complete abandonment of heavy page builders (Elementor, Divi, etc.) in favor of maximum speed, stability, and ease of future maintenance.
Implementation and technical stack:
Site foundation: Clean installation of WordPress, basic block editor Gutenberg, and the official lightweight WooCommerce Storefront theme.
Functionality: Standard capabilities of the cart, checkout, coupon system, user cabinet, and templates for system email notifications are configured.
Integrations and plugins (strictly according to the specifications, without unnecessary clutter):
Login Me Now — for quick and secure passwordless authentication.
FluentForms & FluentSMTP — for stable operation and delivery of forms/emails.
Advanced Shipment Tracking — for convenient tracking of order delivery statuses by customers.
Rank Math SEO & Google Site Kit — for basic analytics and SEO optimization.
Design and content: The structure, graphic content, and text filling of the old site are fully preserved but transferred to a fast and reliable engine.
Result:
The site is completely independent of third-party page builders, has clean code, high loading speed, and minimal risk of "breaking" during future WordPress or plugin updates. The client received an easy solution that their team can administer independently.
