Giana Boutique is an online ecommerce store.

Done quite some time ago.

Their [website](https://giana.rayelliott.dev/).

First time using WooCommerce and second time using WordPress to build a site.

Uses pre-existing theme.

Nothing special required.
Main customisations were little bits of CSS to tidy some things up -- created child theme based on a theme from [ModernThemes](https://modernthemes.net/) called Exchange.

Plugins used:

* [Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/).
* [Cookie Notice](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cookie-notice/).
* [Display Posts](https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/). 
  Would most likely write own plugin for this now.
* [Hustle](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-popup/).
* [iThemes Security](https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/).
* [MC4WP:Mailchimp for WordPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/).
* [QuickView WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/quick-view-woocommerce/).
* [UpdraftPlus - Backup/Restore](https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/).
* [WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/).
* [WP Super Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/).

Would certainly reassess the best plugins available currently, if doing this site now.

Would definitely use a better theme.
Main reason using this is that it was free.
Would now almost certainly develop a child theme based on [Storefront](https://woocommerce.com/storefront/#).
