    Howdy –

    Thanks for writing to us! The good news is that here at WordPress.com we offer a managed environment. This means that we handle all the back end details of the site. Things like back ups, updates, security, spam, seo, ssl, mobile optimization, top notch hosting specs, and sorting out any errors or bugs that pop up along the way. You don’t have to research which plugin is best for each of those items, we handle it.

    When you run a stand alone WordPress installation, then all of those details fall on to you – so instead of being able to focus on content you spend a ton of time and frustration fixing these sort of issues. You’ve made a smart choice by coming to us. We’re going to save you time and money :)

    I’m curious to know more about the pdfs (volume of sales, number of products, etc) and details about your goals. We have 2 hosting plans that will allow you to upload plugins on the site and build an ecommerce store. The eCommerce plan is more robust, and comes pre installed with popular extensions used by WooCommerce stores. These are popular extensions that you’d pay for out of pocket if you added them when on the business plan. I’ll share below.

    Keep in mind that the annual purchase, vs monthly, will also open up live chat so you can get real-time help from our support team. There’s also a built in savings when purchasing the annual option.

    The last thing I want to mention is that you can also use custom email solutions on our managed network. It’s important when working with customers that your web presence be as professional as possible. Custom emails are an affordable way to build trust, and enhance your brand.

    I lied. One more “last thing”. We’ve recently put together a team who can build the site for you. If that feels like a better use of your time, allowing you to reinvest in other areas of your business, then check that out on the Built By WP page.

    Let us know which plan you want to start with and we can throw it in your cart with a coupon. Be well. Write back with more questions. I know this was a lot of information to digest.
