Some Tools and Services
While this one isn’t my automator of choice, I like it and use it, it has great linking with the Sure Suite of products which I use a lot and it also has the most intergrations I know of for an automaton, with additional new items like ‘human in the loop’ it continues to be a leader in its class, I prefer the data ownership I get with FlowMattic but if you don’t want the hastle of hosting your automation this is a really good choice.
Bunny is where this site is hosted and several of my static sites, it’s cheap, dependable and fast it hosts the videos for my sales videos on reallyusefulplugins even with all this its really the minium charge I pay sometimes a little more it really is great service and cheap to boot.
This one is all me, this is where I sell some of my little plugins, designed not to make huge amounts of money, but each serves a single niche, and they are designed to make your life just that little bit easier using some of the other tools in this section
I use this on all my sites alongside bricks and as such it forms part of my must-have tools, if I am firing up a Bricks site you can be 100% sure that it will be followed second by Automattic CSS
I’ve got all of SurelyWP’s plugins on Reallyusefulplugins.com. I run their support portal and I also run their toolkit for surecart too for its FluentCRM integrations
Another Webhost Solution, they host my WPdemosite and WPdemostore websites, on which I do a lot of development. They also host several of my email domains and handle my business email too, so while they are one of the newest suppliers, I have been very surprised by their other knowledge and helpfulness. They inspired the wildcard DNS video for Cloudflare based on a support ticket I submitted.
Another tool I use on reallyusefulplugins.com, it handles my premium licensing and updates and my sales, I have made extensive tools for surecart including URL Paramaters & Dashy
SureForms from Brainstorm Force is a really nice Guttenberg first form plugin. I use it a lot, and I have written an add-on for it called Response for Sure Forms. This allows you to use other API based automators, such as flowmattic to return items to our forms based on workflow.
Dennis is a genius, and I’ve brought all his tools, including block studio. I use SleekAI on this site, it handles my ALT text for me, it’s really good, costs pennies to run, SleekView is on my list to thoroughly test out too.
This is the lynchpin in my Windows development that links all my custom BAT scripts to my FTP and SFTP servers for plugin updates and script updates it allows me to set and forget, and it was worth every penny I paid for it, I can’t recommend this software enough, it was a really upgrade from the free no longer developed FTPBox
This website is static and runs using simply static, I’ve found their support to be excellent and their documentation good and the benefits of making your block or sites static using a tool like this are many so If your considering that I recommend them
FlowMattic is my WordPress Automator of choice; it has solid performance, is infinitely expandable with PHP snippets and has a lot of native integrations as well as the ability to create your own.
