As always, we have the latest WordPress news for you today: There's exciting news at Raidboxes, feature planning for WordPress 5.2 has begun and we take a look at Holacracy in theory and practice. We also have a collection of helpful SEO guides and look at the pros and cons of WooCommerce.
The most important advantages and disadvantages of WooCommerce
WooCommerce is the leading e-commerce store system in the WordPress universe. The free plugin transforms your WordPress website into a fully-fledged online store - all with just one click. In addition to the many advantages of WooCommerce, the store system also has a few disadvantages that need to be considered. Our WooCommerce expert Tino explains which factors you should consider when setting up your store.
Raidboxes receives further growth financing
We are proud to announce another investment from four strong partners. The capital increase comes from renowned investors Jan Beckers, Jens Schumann, Pascal Tilgner and - as in 2016 - HTGF. With the fresh capital, we will further expand Raidboxes' market position as the leading WP hosting specialist in the DACH region, accelerate growth in other European countries and further expand our team?

Our colleagues from UPLOAD magazine take a closer look at the "Holacracy" management concept, which we have been using at Raidboxes since 2016, and let 7 companies have their say.

The new staging banner is here
A few days ago, we rolled out a new banner for our staging environment. Version 1.0 is online for the time being and will be continuously expanded with useful functions. The aim of the new banner is to allow you to move it to where it is least disruptive to you during development. We would be delighted if you would test the banner and leave us your feedback.
React for web designers
The new WordPress editor, also known as "Gutenberg", is based on the JavaScript framework "React". Does that mean you now have to learn React as a WordPress web designer? Not necessarily! If you're still curious, our colleagues at Framer have a great introduction to React for beginners.
