best practices as a new wordpress user

  • Hello everyone,
    i am a new wordpress user but a long date frontend développer (html,css,js without any backend experience).
    I recently challenge myself to use wordpress to run a complete html/css integration that i create for a work project.

    To be clear, i start from html/css without any template structure and just want to add content with loops and includes in the differents dynamic areas of my site.

    So far that works pretty well for me but i have some questions about the best practices in differents scenarios.

    1) firt, i have a page “our_products” with a long list of products. Each product must have its own individual page with a lot of informations. What is the best way to encode a product in the back end ? By myself, i would try posts with a specific category that can be targeted by a loop.

    I would like an hint from an experienced user :).

    PS :
    i already use the plugin “Advanced Custom Fields” that seems to be a must have for complexe content like i have here on each page.

  • I would just use Woocommerce for products and it comes with it’s own templates.

    Hello ! My site isn’t an ecommerce and i want to be as basic as possible for this little project. If a plugin is really unavoidable i will take it of course but if i can, i would like to stay with the native wordpress.

    Don’t add the price in Woocommerce and it will just look like a photo gallery with additional product information.

    Or just set up a gallery using the Media Library…

    i don’t want to create a photo-gallery-like.
    I have a list of li with my products and when i click on one them, i go to a “product_details” page with all the informations.

    My html/css is already created. My question is what are your advices for linking this static template to all these differents products datas.

    maybe someone that have experience of working without template, with native html/css (+ wordpress for the backend part) can gives me some hints ?
