WordPress

I use WordPress for all my website builds (clients and my own), apart from occasional GitHub Pages sites for simple landing pages. The plugins / stack I typically use are…

WordPress plugins

• Advanced Custom Fields PRO
• BE Media From Production (a slightly modified version so it only runs locally)
• Block Visibility
• Cloudflare
• FacetWP
• Fatal Error Notify
• Gravity Forms
• Perfmatters
• SearchWP (on smaller sites)
• Simple Analytics (for my sites)
• WP Migrate

WordPress plugins (support)

• Temporary Login Without Password

WordPress hosting

• SpinupWP with Digital Ocean (for my sites)
• Pagely (for client sites)
• WP Engine (for client sites)

iPhone 13 Pro Max

There’s not been anything I really want in the newer editions of the iPhone and I think I prefer the notch at the top rather than the floating / Dynamic Island version (even though the Dynamic Island is a cool idea), so I’m still rolling with my iPhone 13 Pro Max for now.
