Notes on CMS decisions, migrations and the practical choices behind websites that work.
AI ·
I built my website in a week. It took 25 years of experience.
How I designed and built gomo.digital with AI as a design partner: the directions, the pixel font it made on its own, where I stepped in, and why the speed came from experience.
Agencies ·

Craft CMS ·
Why Craft CMS still makes sense for complex content websites
Craft CMS is the right choice when the content model is the project: several languages, related content, editors who publish every week, integrations that belong inside the CMS.

Why a finished-looking Webflow site is slow
A Webflow site can look done and still take seconds to load. What was under one of them, what two weeks of clean-up changed, and what to check on your own site.
