Hi all - given the timezone (I live in AU) my responses will probably slow down. Please go ahead and post any other questions or comments you have as it's been great to hear them and I will respond ASAP.

A little confused as to how this integrates with existing sites. Does it require usage of a new theme, or can you integrate it with your current theme? If integration is not possible, does it support plugins like WooCommerce?

Tailor works with any theme. Plugins like WooCommerce that do something specific (like ecommerce) can easily be supported. In fact, I have created a simple WooCommerce extension for Tailor (also free) for people who want to manage products.

Thank you for the information. A potential client of mine has an interest in WooCommerce and am looking at using Tailor, but I can not find any information on the Tailor-WooCommerce plugin. All I found was https://github.com/andrew-worsfold/tailor-woocommerce. Am I missing something on Wordpress's plugin directory?

That empty repo will be the WooCommerce extension, yes. It's simple at the moment, allowing products to be displayed using an element similar to the one that displays posts (i.e., all the usual options and ability to present them in a list, grid or carousel layout). I'll try and get that up on both GitHub and the WordPress plugin repository in the next day or two.

Also - if you have any ideas with respect to that WooCommerce plugin, drop me a line. Much like the plugin itself, the direction can be guided by those who are using it..

The initial version of the WooCommerce extension is now up in the GitHub repository. Shhhh!! It's still a secret and won't be in the WordPress plugin repository for a day or two ;)

Thank you! Looking forward to trying it out and hopefully will get a chance to contribute back to both projects!

That'd be awesome. Here's a (very) brief writeup of the element that this initial version of the extension provides if you're interested: https://medium.com/@tailorwp/drag-and-drop-your-way-to-an-on...

Haven't installed it, but like similar plugins, it functions at the editor level for pages, posts, etc. So it should be compatible with most themes and WooCommerce.
