A WordPress designer focuses on the look, feel, and user experience of a website. They work with layout, colors, typography, and branding to ensure the site is visually appealing and user-friendly. Designers often use page builders or themes to create designs without coding. On the other hand, a WordPress developer handles the technical side—writing code, creating custom themes or plugins, integrating APIs, and ensuring the site functions properly. Developers work with PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and the WordPress core. In short, designers shape how a site looks, while developers build how it works under the hood.

To add product specifications, use Product Attributes and the Additional Information tab. Edit the product, scroll to Product data, and open the Attributes section. Add attributes such as Material, Size, Weight, Power, or Compatibility, then enter values (or create global attributes in Products → Attributes for reuse). Tick “Visible on the product page,” and save. WooCommerce automatically shows these specs in the Additional Information tab and can use them for filters and variations. If you want a dedicated “Specifications” block or a formatted table, install a product tabs/specifications plugin, then create a custom tab and paste your spec list there.
