Some Tools and Services
Gridpane hosts most of my sites, I am on their developer plan and have about a dozen VPS of various sizes with their support is top notch their scripts are great, and I really love their documentation, I can’t recommend them enough and infact they are one of only 3 webhosting companies I can recommend depending on your budget
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.
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 use devkit a lot and have published a few videos on it and how I use it for database, resetting, search and replace. It has so many different items I use on a website basis to to reset the installation for a tutorial or to view the database. It continues to get better and better and its well worth the fairly tiny price.
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.
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
Another email provider I’ve been using for about 5 years and have some of their best legacy offers I am not an affiliate, and I am not a lifetime deal holder I pay on some tri-annual deals from a previous Black Friday offer
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
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
