Hosting
I ❤️ Cloudways!
I have a DigitalOcean 2GB VPS server with them. Performance and their support is amazing, they take care of offsite backups and provide a free SSL certificate all for a really low price.
They also offer a brilliant API so I can automate a lot of my workflows.
Give Cloudways a go, they offer a free trial so you can have a play!
Theme
I wanted a fast theme but still with lots of flexibility. Generate Press ticked all the boxes for me. They have a really cool site library with premade templates so you can get up and running very easily,
Even with Ad’s running on this site I can still hit a 98 desktop Google Page Speed insights scores thanks to the this theme and my hosting setup.
The core functionality is free, I am using the premium addon to gets some of the etc bells and whistles.
Continued Learning
Udemy are my go to for learning! I love the fact I can just buy a course at a fair price and not have to pay a subscription fee.
They have great content and a really good platform to track your learning progress, with practice and content covering every area I need.
