    Thanks for providing the info. Do we get few official email ids with a plan as well (for example (email visible only to moderators and staff))? Also, can we add drop-down menu for one single page i.e. for example under products in the menu bar can there be separate page under ‘products’?

    Is the a technical help via phone etc who can develop this website for me? I am ready to pay up for that.

    Hi ,
    You can get official email ids with your domain , you have a couple of options
    You can either set up a free one using and free email solution like ZOHO or also WordPress supports G-Suite in the dashboard, here are the details for you to know better about Emails and the options available
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/add-email/
    Yes sure you can have a Drop Down Menu , to have products , here is more information on them
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

    Also to follow up , when you say you want Products are you looking to sell online ? A preferred option would be WooCommerce .
    http://woocommerce.com

    Also here are the options available for Support ,
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/help-support-options/
    Phone is not an option , usually prefer forums, Live Chats , Support form, You can check the link.

    WordPress would help you with everything..!
    Let me know if you have any further questions..!

    Are all premium themes available for free as a part of the premium plan? I am interested in ‘periodical’ premium theme. Is this one free under the premium plan?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi again ,
    Yeah sure its available as a part of the Premium plan.
    https://wordpress.com/premium/
    Here is a quote from the page

    What is a premium theme?
    Premium themes are paid themes with exciting options for customization and exclusive support from theme authors themselves. Choose the Premium Plan or Business Plan for unlimited Premium Themes.

    Further to give you a confirmation here a quote
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/premium-themes/

    On a site with the Premium or Business plan, you can switch to any premium theme at no extra cost, as many times as you’d like. Without a Premium or Business plan, premium themes may also be purchased individually.
    So yeah you can freely switch between themes.

    Also to know your theme better here is the link
    https://wordpress.com/theme/periodical
    This would give you additional information for the theme.

    Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any further information..!

    Regards

    @pavanraheja Unless you can tell me that something has changed in the last twenty four hours that I’ve missed, I’m sure woocommerce is still only for self-hosted sites using the WordPress.org software. Even the link you gave about upgrading to a Business plan only talks about a PayPal button.

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    @thamagicrobot : Absolutely no doubt about it, as Sumeet was talking about Product based website , so I recommended him Woocommerce ,
    So I suggested him to Use that , if just showing products was his option I recommended him to use WordPress.com

    Yeah my miss not providing information of difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org

    Thanks for the additions.

    @Sumeet : As @themagicrobot mentioned, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are separate softwares, the link he provided would give you the information about the differences,
    Also its on your requirement what suits you, also if you let us know what kind of website you are looking for with further details we could help you better.

    Regards

    Thanks for sharing all the info. Is there someone who can develop the entire website for me on a nominal fee or do I have to develop everything on my own, which I do not want as I am not that technically equipped. So, any professional help will be great.

  • Unknown's avatar

    @Sumeet: WordPress does not provide consultants to do everything for you, you can give it start, using the tutorials, and if you get stuck you can get a lot of Support help in Forums, live chats , email etc.
    But if you want a professional who will do everything for you, you might have to hire an external consultant who has great WordPress skills.
