Graphics & Design
Elementor Pro is a must have for anyone looking to have a professional design for their website without contracting a web designer. You can tailor your website’s design exactly to your tastes, down to pixel-level detail. If you need a demo, just look at my website! The glowy look, special effects and smooth UI is all thanks to Elementor.
Web Services
I find NameSilo to be intuitive and straight-forward to use as a service. No hidden fees or gimmicky marketing, none of which I am a fan of or appreciate coming from a service intended to help users. I have been using NameSilo for years and it has been a smooth ride from the beginning.
Before launching my blog, I spent a considerable time comparing the best hosting plans around regarding price, features, support and more. Ultimately I opted for Hosterion and have only had positive experiences with them. Support even answered my ticket 2 minutes after I sent it! They have some of the best prices on the market, and what was most important to me is their 99% uptime guarantee – that’s essential for your platform!
Everybody knows WordPress is #1 for blogging platforms. Whether you are only using WordPress as a software on your chosen webhost, or applying for their full packages including webhost, no other service compares so this is a no-brainer. WP is the IT blogging platform, and all the best plugins cater to it.
Marketing
Newsletters are a must-have for anyone looking to build an online platform. You can’t solely rely on social media; building your own mailing list on the side is the business-savvy way to go, and that’s where MC comes in. It’s beginner-friendly, free, and there are loads of tutorials online to guide you through any process. Plus, it’s easy to integrate with WordPress and other back-end plugins.
