Chris Lema has been building eCommerce sites since 1997, back when it would take a lot of time, cost a lot of money, and still didn’t work perfectly. Today he’s the VP of Products at Liquid Web, where he’s designed and launched a new platform dedicated to WooCommerce stores.
We’re thrilled to have Chris onboard as a speaker at WordCamp Sacramento 2018 asked a few questions to help you get to know more about him. Check out our mini interview with Chris below:
What is the topic of your WordCamp talk?
eCommerce Decision Making: How Customers Decide What To Buy
Why do you think this is important?
Anyone who sells things online has fallen into the trap of “Build it and they will come.” But that’s not how online conversions work. Come learn how people make decisions and how you can improve your online conversions.
What’s your WordPress origin story?
I discovered WordPress in 2005 after working with TypePad and DotNetNuke. It was fast, easy, and great as a CMS for the startups I was coaching.
How has WordPress impacted your world?
WordPress has created a large community of friends that have changed my life over the last decade.
