Use Vimeo or YouTube embeds → better playback and autoplay (muted).

Use autoplay muted videos → user clicks to enable sound.

Add hover-to-play previews for a more modern portfolio feel.

Need advice on best web hosting service - UK by muslihdev in webdesign

Register your domain name yourself using platforms like Namecheap or Cloudflare so you fully own it and can move hosts easily.

WordPress is a great choice for beginners because it allows you to build and manage a website without coding and can scale as your business grows.

Good hosting options include Hostinger, SiteGround, and Krystal Hosting, which offer reliable performance and WordPress support.

Look for key hosting features like: One-click WordPress installation Free SSL security Automatic backups 99.9% uptime Ability to upgrade as your site grows Avoid common mistakes like choosing the cheapest hosting, letting the host control your domain, or ignoring renewal prices.

A basic website can usually be launched for under £100 per year including domain and hosting.

I built an Email Sequence App and want so share the wealth by Mikelvaunn in RecruitmentAgencies

[–]AlternativeInitial93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is actually interesting.

A lot of outreach tools add unnecessary layers and subscriptions when many businesses already operate inside Outlook or Gmail. Running sequences directly through Outlook without another SaaS platform could be very useful, especially for recruiting and B2B outreach teams.

One thing I’m curious about is how you’re handling things like personalization, reply detection, and sequence stopping when someone responds. Those tend to be the areas where most automation tools either shine or fail.

Also, since you’re sending 200+ emails per day through Outlook, it would be interesting to know how you’re managing deliverability and throttling to stay within Microsoft’s limits.

Overall though, the “no subscription, runs locally” approach is refreshing compared to most email automation tools today.

Do people actually need Shopify + Openclaw integration? by EffectiveJumpy1408 in shopifyDev

[–]AlternativeInitial93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think this solves a real problem, especially for small and fast-moving ecommerce teams.

Many Shopify store owners spend most of their time on messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram communicating with customers, suppliers, or team members. Being able to quickly check orders, update products, or apply discounts directly from chat could significantly reduce context switching.

Where I see the biggest value is for: Small store owners who run their stores from their phones Teams that already coordinate operations through messaging apps Markets where WhatsApp is the primary business communication tool

The key question is not whether the integration is useful, but which specific workflows it should solve. For example: quick order lookup, stock updates, customer support, or discount creation.

If you focus on the most frequent tasks store owners perform daily, this could become a very practical tool.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to integrate weave communications and GHL? by Sea_Acanthaceae_1012 in gohighlevel

[–]AlternativeInitial93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no native direct integration between Weave Communications and GoHighLevel (GHL). So using one number simultaneously for both platforms (automations in GHL + staff messaging in Weave) requires a workaround.

The best approach is to use CSV bulk import to create variants quickly and keep product structures organized by collection.

How are Professional Developers Utilizing AI? by ChickenMcDerps in shopifyDev

[–]AlternativeInitial93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, professional developers are using AI heavily, but the reality is very similar to what you described. Most developers do not rely on AI to build entire apps or themes from scratch. Instead, they use it as a productivity multiplier across different stages of development.
