Why we added another CMS to our technology stack: Our clients are increasingly exploring JavaScript frameworks like Next.js and Vue. While Drupal remains excellent for complex digital experiences, some projects need a different approach. That's why we became a Storyblok certified partner. It's a headless CMS that bridges the gap between modern development and content management. What made us choose Storyblok: • Perfect fit for Next.js and Vue projects • Easy for both developers and content editors • Visual editing and live preview • Trusted by major brands like Tesla and Oatly We even moved our own website to Storyblok + Next.js to truly understand its capabilities and limitations. This isn't about replacing our existing stack - it's about having the right tool for each project. Sometimes that's Drupal, sometimes it's Storyblok. What factors do you consider when choosing a CMS for your project? #webdevelopment #cms #javascript

🕵️ HAVE YOU BEEN STALKING YOUR COMPETITORS?🕵️ Michael has been writing blogs and resources on his website for a few years, covering topics that have come to his mind, hoping it will help towards SEO BUT he's not happy with the results. He then started working with me and together we found a pool of HIDDEN LANDING PAGES full of useful keywords and content on his competitor's website. So why am I telling you this? Because stacks of useful SEO might be on the website of your competitors too! And what should you do with those you wonder? - Conquer our competitor's SEO real estate: if those keywords were written about in such detailed and methodic manner, it might mean they are the keywords you should also be covering too - Accelerate keyword research: the words you might need are on their websites! - Simplify content creation: the main SEO technique IS to cover what the top 5-10 results on Google are writing about and offer an improved value added version from you - the content you might need to write is already on their website (no copying of course!) DM me to find out more how you can simply and strategise your writing! #seo #seotips #learnseo #growyourbusiness #seotools #seorankingfactor #mumpreneur #solopreneurlife #smallbusiness #serp

Elementor, Gutenberg and other block builders have turned WordPress into the MS Frontpage of the 2020s, letting barely competent people who are a "bit good with software" create websites full of bugs and problems - all the time they call themselves "Web Developers" yet haven't a clue how to code a solution to a tricksy rendering problem. They create fragile websites rammed with plugins and libraries and zero supply chain scrutiny. Naive buyers have no idea, often leading to immense damage to their brands. Discuss!

WordPress! After 20yrs of actively avoiding it, it's been decided that half the Internet can't be wrong. A deep dive over the past week or two has delivered the verdict that it's awesome. Long live PHP 🤣. The current thinking is to do all development in a custom theme with custom templates, post types, blocks and fields (played about with ACF and Carbon Fields). It's a funny time to get into it with the current quarrel with WP Engine, but...it's fine.

Pop Quiz Time. What version of PHP is your website running on and is it still supported? Or are you leaving your website vulnerable to hackers? I have come across multiple website recently that are running older versions of PHP that are no longer supported. Running these versions of PHP increases the risk of your website being hacked. Some hosting companies have been providing support for versions that are not officially supported any more, however some of these companies are removing that support. Not sure what PHP is? What version you are running or how to find that out? If so please get in touch, I am happy to give you are free guide on how to see what version you are running and how to upgrade to a more secure and supported version. Appropriate photo of me doing my best hacker impersonation attached.

#SEOs working with #Shopify - what apps or themes have you come across that have caused SEO issues? We're planning a feature for Macaroni Software that checks for installed apps that could be causing problems. Ideally we should be able to validate there is an issue by looking at the HTML/JS. In the meantime I'm thinking it would be awesome to have a community contributed list that we can all refer to.
