Articles on web development decisions: choosing a CMS, migrating platforms, integrating AI sensibly and what to know before hiring a developer.
Web development looks like a technology problem. Most of the time it is a decision problem. Which CMS will hold up for five years. When to migrate and when to stay put. How to add a new feature without breaking the parts that are already working. These posts focus on those decisions, with the technical detail kept light enough for non-developers to follow.
Topics cover CMS choice between WordPress, Craft CMS and Statamic, what a developer actually needs to know about a stack before quoting, how migrations between platforms tend to play out in practice and how to fold AI features into an existing site without disrupting the team that runs it. The recurring theme is patience: most projects go wrong because someone made a fast decision early on that was hard to undo later.
You will also find posts on the human side: hiring a developer, briefing a developer, working with one remotely and knowing when a developer is right to push back on a request. These are written for founders and marketing leads who own the website but do not own the code, and for developers who are about to inherit work someone else built.
If you are weighing up a platform, start with WordPress, Craft CMS or Statamic. If a migration is on the table, read migrating your CMS is not as risky as staying on the wrong one. For ongoing help, my services page lists what I offer.
Statamic is often picked by developers and inherited by marketers. The marketing team gets a cleaner editor, fewer plugin breakages and a much smaller app store. Whether the trade is worth it depends on the team shape.
WordPress to Statamic is a real migration. The two platforms shape content differently, so the work is remapping rather than export.
A walkthrough of the new WordPress 7.0 features covering admin redesign, visual revisions, new blocks and the AI Client API.
Statamic Pro went up on 1 May 2026, and the conversation has been about whether to stay rather than how to leave. For Laravel-fluent freelancers, Craft is the underrated alternative almost nobody is naming.
You can run a free custom domain email through Gmail and Cloudflare for the cost of a domain. Here is how to set it up and where it falls short.
Hiring a Craft CMS developer means paying for a wide stack of knowledge, tools and experience that sits behind every hour of work. This is what that looks like.
Google and Microsoft have co-authored a new browser standard that lets AI agents interact with websites through structured tools rather than screenshots. Here is what that means if you run a business online.
WordPress, Craft CMS, and Statamic are genuinely different tools. The choice affects how your team publishes content, what breaks during updates, and what the site costs to maintain over time.
A growing number of shoppers now ask AI tools like ChatGPT to find products instead of searching Google. This shift is creating a new sales channel that most small e-commerce stores do not know about yet.
CMS migration risks are visible and finite. The cost of staying on the wrong platform compounds silently through workarounds, slow content updates, and developer friction.
AI should make websites easier to use, not showcase technology for its own sake. The most effective AI features are invisible, removing friction rather than demanding attention.
