Introducing WooExperts, our new verified developer program

Mar 16, 2022

For quite some time, the best way for someone trying to find an agency or developer that specializes with Woo items was to visit the Affiliated Woo Workers page. There, we have listed many professionals who can be reached for assistance with setting up stores, custom theme development or other related issues.

However, there were problems with this setup. It was long and difficult to find. Also, we provided the bare minimum of information about what each expert offered, examples of their work, or how to get in touch with the experts.

We wanted to provide anyone looking for a reputable expert with a more efficient method to search for and choose potential agencies or developers. We also wanted to provide specialists a means to display their talents and showcase their work prospective customers and get support from us at Woo.

In this way that is why it's easier than ever to get in touch with the best experts offering their expertise.

Find out the reasons behind why we revamped the program, how things have changed as well as what WooExperts can offer you whether you're a designer or an agency with Woo Expertise.

 What is a WooExpert?

An WooExpert is an authentic and verified company or developer that specializes in Woo items.

That might sound a little vague, so we'll elaborate. To qualify for the WooExperts program, an individual developer or agency has to:

  1. Do you have knowledge of WooThemes and/or
  2. Have had an experience having issues Woo products
  3. Do you have an example of customers utilizing WooThemes or in their portfolio

Every expert who applies to the program, regardless of the level they're applying for (more about that in a second) is thoroughly screened for this criteria. If they're able to meet the criteria then they're admitted and are included. If not meet it, they're not.

Goodbye Affiliated Woo Workers, hello WooExperts

Before the WooExperts program was created You may have seen our Affiliated Woo Workers page. We listed all the agencies or developers who requested to be on the list regardless of the experience they had.

The sites ranged from extremely detail-oriented to basic in the best way. It was impossible to filter by expert (for instance, say, if you were looking for an expert. someone to customize the look of a page) as well as location filters were also an issue.

We were aware that we required a change. We needed to give our customers a reliable, precise way of finding experts in their field with a specialization in the subject they required assistance in.

We also wanted to get better at filtering our listings. There are a lot of businesses who "dabble" in , but if we listed them all we'd have many pages. It seemed more sensible to focus on those who had experience, and who were committed to working in partnership with us.

This is how a list will look like in the future:

Hello there, WooExperts.
Welcome to WooExperts.

One of the biggest improvements, and also one of the features we're most proud of being the introduction of a portfolio on the page. Customers will be able browse the latest works right from our website. Our experts are also able to include the project they're most proud of, complete with details about the project, and then we'll show live images of the homepage for all to view.
