UW and Wyoming SBDC Network to Host Webinar on E-Commerce Platforms

With so many e-commerce platforms available, small-business owners may have trouble choosing the one platform that is right for them.

Bridget Manley and Daniel Patterson will present a Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network webinar titled “Choosing the Right eCommerce Platform for Your Business” Thursday, Feb. 16, from 11 a.m.-noon. To register, go here. Registration is free.

This interactive introductory webinar will compare popular e-commerce solutions -- including Shopify, WooCommerce and Wix -- and explore the core features of each. Small-business owners will receive a set of criteria to determine which platforms are best for their businesses.

During the webinar, small-business owners will receive help creating their own digital goals. Small-business owners are encouraged to bring their business mission statements.

Manley is an e-learning specialist with a passion for helping learners become effective agents in their careers and in their communities. She co-founded Ascendant Design and Training with Patterson, her husband, in July 2020. Before that, she was the curriculum manager for a Denver-based startup company, where she developed compliance and manufacturing training for the state-legal cannabis industry.

Patterson is a software systems developer with over 30 years of multidisciplinary experience in software, electronic and mechanical design. He has been involved in several different industries, including logistics, gaming, music and heavy equipment. In those industries, Patterson has managed projects large and small; has overseen research, development, engineering and IT departments; and has managed the implementation and upkeep of automated production systems.
