I wrote a WooCommerce vs Shopify comparison piece for @CommerceGurus The bit that surprised me most: use any processor other than Shopify Payments and Shopify surcharges every sale. 2% on Basic, 0.2% on Plus, on top of your processor's own fees. Ouch! commercegurus.com/woocommerc…
Card headed "What a move to Shopify fixes, and what moves with you". Left column, Shopify largely solves: hosting, core platform updates, server scaling, infrastructure security, core eCommerce admin. Right column, moves with you: storefront speed, app selection and cost, SEO, conversion rate, third-party integrations. Footer reads: thinking of moving from WooCommerce to Shopify? Read this first. joecanwrite.com and commercegurus.com

Is your WordPress site backed up (and can you restore those backups)? I wrote a guide to backing up a WordPress website for @Modulards_en. It covers four methods, which one to pick, and how to test that your backup actually restores. modulards.com/how-to-back-up…
Card headed "Four ways to back up a WordPress website, and how to test the restore". Four panels: Backup plugin, automated and you restore from the same dashboard. Multi-site dashboard, one dashboard covering every site you manage. Manual, your files plus a database export you run yourself. Your web host, whatever your web host already runs for you. Footer reads: a backup you have never restored is a backup you have never tested. joecanwrite.com and modulards.com

About a third of US shoppers say they'd let an AI assistant buy things for them. Most still want the final say, but that's a lot of people already happy to hand off the search. Here's what agentic commerce means for your store, and three things worth checking now.

Three things worth checking: - Titles and descriptions that say exactly what the product is, in plain words - Structured data (schema) for price, size, materials, and availability - A robots.txt that actually lets AI crawlers reach your catalog

Roughly a third of the content on a typical product page can't be read by AI systems at all. So the bar to compete here is lower than it looks. It mostly comes down to keeping your product data tidy and accurate. Full post: wordpress.com/blog/2026/07/1…

Agentic Commerce Is Here: What Does It Mean for Your Store?

What is agentic commerce? It's when an AI assistant discovers, compares, and buys products for shoppers. Here's what the shift means for your store.

Most people setting up WordPress maintenance plans are guessing at the price. For a Modular DS piece I gathered what established providers actually charge, plus what freelancers report. Here's the range, and how to land on a number that's profitable for you.

Most providers use tiered plans, and the survey data backs it. A 2025 Web Designer Academy survey of 208 designers found 82% use package pricing as their main model. Three tiers is the setup you'll see most often.

Plans usually include updates, backups, security scanning, uptime monitoring, and small edits. Billed separately: content, new features, design, and dev work beyond quick fixes. Full post: modulards.com/wordpress-main…

1/ AI search is the rare chance to add genuine new value to a WordPress care plan without overpromising. I wrote a piece for Modular DS on adding answer engine optimization (AEO) to your maintenance plans, the honest way: as an extension of work you already do.

4/ And depth beats volume. Trends-and-analysis content with original data earned LLM citations 78% of the time, versus 12% for educational how-to posts. One well-researched post can outperform ten thin ones.

5/ The honest pitch wins. No one can guarantee AI citations yet, and clients respect you saying so. Start with one client this month: a single fixed-price AEO readiness audit. Full breakdown: modulards.com/answer-engine-… Run care plans? @Modulards_en
