Articles
A small archive of technical articles and working observations from real projects.
These posts are not meant to be content for content’s sake — just useful thoughts from hands-on work.
This section collects smaller thoughts that do not belong inside project case studies, but still reflect how I think about WordPress development, implementation, support, and product decisions.
Clients often think: “We built the site, launched it, now it runs itself.” But a marketing site that lives inside a real business is not a static business card. It is a tool that keeps changing: new articles, new services, new campaigns, new analytics. If the site publishes at least one article a week, without […]
Friday evening. The project manager writes cheerfully: “The client approved the design! The Figma file is perfect — you can start building. It’s all straightforward.” I open the link, skim the pages, and realise: the first line of code is still a long way off. A layout that looks perfect to the client is often […]
It’s always tempting to solve every new task with a large plugin: install an all-in-one, flip on the option you need, configure ten more settings “just in case,” and move on. At first glance, that feels like the fastest path. Over time, though, the site picks up unnecessary dependencies, duplicated functionality, extra settings, and another […]
If your site brings in clients and revenue, you cannot leave it to run on its own. WordPress support and continuous improvement means your site is constantly updated, protected, and refined — without you spending time and energy on it. Why long-term support matters in the first place Most site owners only notice a problem […]
Many business owners come with a simple request: “we just need a redesign to make it look nicer.” In reality, “just applying a new theme” is the fastest way to break SEO, distort your content, and increase maintenance costs. When I redesign or fully rebuild a WordPress site, I look beyond the visual layer into […]
WooCommerce is a great choice for launching an online store. But once a business develops real processes, non‑standard sales rules and specific UX requirements, the default functionality often stops being enough. That’s when you start seeing the kind of tasks that impact not just “how convenient the site is”, but conversion rates, average order value, […]
When someone says “WordPress is slow”, it almost never points to a single cause. Most of the time it’s a mix of theme code, plugins, images, fonts, hosting – plus a few “historical decisions” everyone has already forgotten. In this note I’m not going to tell you to “just install a caching plugin”. Instead, I’ll […]
I built DraftLift AI because I wanted a small, predictable helper for writing WordPress drafts – not another all-in-one “AI writes your site” product. The free v1 focuses on a single job: turn a topic into a clean, structured article draft inside your WordPress admin, so you stay in control of the content. What DraftLift […]

What are Special Mail […]

To remove the type attribute, simply paste this code into your theme file. add_action( 'template_redirect', 'safe_remove_template_redirect', 10, 2); function saf_remove_template_redirect(){ ob_start( function( $buffer ){ $buffer = str_replace( array( '<script type="text/javascript">', "<script type='text/javascript'>", "<script type='text/javascript' src=", '<script type="text/javascript" src=', '<style type="text/css">', "' type='text/css' media=", '<style type="text/css" media', "' type='text/css'>" ), array( '<script>', "<script>", "<script src=", '<script […]
Send a short outline — I will review it and suggest a sensible next step.
