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

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.

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

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

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 🙏🏾🙏🏾

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

Very good video!!!

💎💎💎

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

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

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

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

Thank you joe for all the jems.

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

Thanks, Joe! Solid info.

Your courses are thorough, definitely worth the money

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.

Bag time

yeah ok themes, but for the real ones? Back-end / integration/ data science?

I get what you pushing but I have done agency projects with Shopify and headless WordPress or Contentful CMS.

Shopify is really good with eCommerce but is not good with with the content side. They are sticking with their strengths with a headless eCommerce which BigCommerce has and they are competing against.

You content is mostly on point and developers looking to be part of something big and has high potential growth Shopify is a good way to go.

Good content mate

I'm a big fan of the channel, but I have to respectfully disagree on this one. WordPress community is thriving in 2023. For a developer looking to secure their first job, WordPress can still be an excellent way to get a foot in the door. Not only will you learn PHP along the way, but you can also leverage your JavaScript skills to create custom blocks for the Gutenberg full site editor using React. Best of both worlds right there.

Nahh this thumbnail look wild Joe

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

@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.

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.

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

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!

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

thanks for the video

thanks for the content!!!
