    Wordpress' Woocommerce will support a hundred or so visitors at the same time. I hope you're planning on growing, therefore use something larger. The concern with using Wordpress as your eCommerce platform is that with large volumes database may crash. I have had that happen and migrating to a larger platform is NOT easy or cheap.

    I'd suggest using Shopify.

    WP is definitely the best blogging platform to date. Just so many things that you can do with WP. You get so many plug-ins for so many purposes. You get free themes if you cannot afford the premium ones. And it is easy to install and set up. Plus, if you do not know how to get started, there are so many guides to help you.
    All the best. Regards.

    Wordpress is the mastermind platform for blogging easy and learning fast. I had success with selling services on one of my Wordpress platforms. But as you get more traffic and more orders, it gets unstable. Make sure you do backups and have a good server. Shopify is good also, but I'd rather use magneto or prestashop platforms.

      Wordpress is definitely the easiest blogging platform to get started with at this point. By the way, what's your "end goal" in using it?

    WordPress is a free and open source blogging tool and a content-management system based on PHP and MySQL, which runs on a web hosting service.

    WordPress is a nice free platform for users to design websites with ease.
    There are so many different kinds of free/premium themes you can choose.
