Layout, CSS, themes, etc.

WOO Shortcodes: Columns

Columns can be a powerful design and layout element. WOO Canvas has them built in. No plugin, no crazy PHP code, just a shortcode and they're yours.

Full-Width Slider in WOO Canvas

So you're ready to set up WordPress. There a zillion options, a kajoolion plugins and even options on the plugins. Ready?

WOO Shortcodes: Dividers
