Favorite Tools & Resources
Curated, tested, and geek-approved—these are the tools I use and recommend to make websites easier to run, safer to manage, and more fun to work with.
Resources marked with an * are affiliate links. If you buy something through one of these links you won’t pay any extra but I’ll get a small commission. I’ve used the resources below and recommend them without the affiliate.
I suggest them because they are useful and not because of the small commission I make if you decide to purchase using my link. You are under no circumstances obligated to purchase the items listed below.
