Tools and services I use for website development in 2019.

Planning & Design


Content Editing, Development & Deployment

  1. WordPress — for content editing and media uploading, for the live CSS editor, and building static pages *
  2. GitHub — the static pages rendered above are saved to a free private GitHub account
  3. Netlify — can take your files from GitHub and deploy them for free on a super fast CDN

* WordPress-generated static pages:

  • When saving a page in the WP interface, you also render the page as light-weight static HTML file.
  • For this to work you will need WordPress running and the WP2GIT plugin installed (or use WPhead where the plugin is preinstalled — see below).
  • The WordPress installation can use cheap PHP hosting (this server doesn’t need many resources since it’s only accessible to authors) from a hosting provider like Bluehost or GoDaddy, or it can be ran online using my free WPhead tool.

Either install the plugin on your self hosted WordPress site or run WPhead online:
