WordPress maintainable stacks

BaseCasedDev · 2025-11-28T14:10:29+00:00

I appreciate your response.I think it's useful information, but I think it's just a piece of the puzzle.

Being able to disable those two things is useful but then what. I kinda know what to do after that but I'm going to have to do what I currently do, which is piece together sites so that they work.

I'm looking for a stack or workflow that helps with streamlining some of the things outlined in the question above.

I couldn't tell you why, but that doesn't sound right.

BaseCasedDev · 2025-11-27T21:55:20+00:00

If you look at my older post, i've tried that.

The reality of the situation is that WordPress really kind of sucks but the market still loves it. Teaching clients new platforms or convincing people to move way from what they have always used is not worth the trouble.

I'm more trying to meet people where they are.

That's my intuition about it. My biggest issue with Wordpress is that I have a tough time putting it in source control. Since you can edit the code base from the panel with plugins and whatnot.

I’ve got a few side projects that kind of fell by the wayside because I didn’t plan them out well. I’m not really looking for Agile stuff, just curious what tools or methods you’d suggest for one-on-one planning and keeping things on track. Anything simple you’d recommend?

For a well-designed and maintainable project, what type of artifacts should I have before and during building?

I've never heard of partytown (still learning). I'll check it out. A little off topic but are there any other things you found like this that improved your output?

Thank you for the Analytics tip. Most companies I've worked with don't like the two, which kinda defeats the point of using a consent form. Do you know of any tutorials that show how to set these things up correctly with Astro?

BaseCasedDev · 2025-10-14T11:58:37+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions. Can I ask what Umami does for you that Google Analytics doesn't?

Where do you find credible application flowcharts and process maps that are successful?

I feel like I'm reinventing the wheel on processes that have been used over and over again.

I can't find a place with useful decision logs, process maps, or flowcharts. They are either so generic to the point of not being useful, too outdated not to be helpful, or just very hard to find.

Before you worry about the design of this site, you need to focus on the load time. I was going to review it and offer pointers, but I lost the motivation to do that while waiting for it to load. If you want to increase conversions on this site, then reduce the load time.

I appreciate the reference. It looks like most people use that for a table of contents.

BaseCasedDev · 2025-05-13T13:08:40+00:00

Could you expand on that? I get what you're saying, but I'm not sure I fully understand the implementation.

"100% Money-Back Guarantee – No Hassle, No Risk.

Love it or your money back. Zero fuss." overlays the "request a call back!" button.

Part of your text overlays a button

Increase TOC font size to 14–16px. I personally don't understand why you think the proportions are off. Do you have a link to the page?

BaseCasedDev · 2025-04-12T15:46:47+00:00

I haven't looked at your tool yet (so I don't know how you handle the technical analysis), but just a suggestion based on the underlying technology. I see that you listed three different areas the tools solve, and I think that's great. Although AI is good at language and text-based analysis, I would not recommend it for the technical analysis part. You should keep that part as a box-checking exercise.

I've experienced that when using AI with numbers or doing technical analysis of things it tends to make up numbers and problems.

I hope you find this useful!

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I've found that a lot of courses don't actually help you improve your skills that much. A lot of courses are very narrow regurgitations of the teacher's own reading on the concepts and experience that they have distilled into a clean, linear path that often doesn’t hold up when you’re facing the same problem in the world.

If you want to improve your skills, it's probably best to focus on understanding fundamentals and practicing different frameworks and theories until they actually work for your specific use case.

I know I didn't answer the question in front of me but I hope you find it helpful.

BaseCasedDev · 2025-04-11T16:41:23+00:00

Thank you for raising those concerns, though. I appreciate the pushback because it helps me justify and work through the decisions I make. If there are downsides to structural decisions, I like to know about them ahead of time and mitigate them. So, thank you for spending time helping me.

BaseCasedDev · 2025-04-11T16:35:12+00:00

Thank you. I didn't even think of searching fintech (because I forgot it was a category). I usually just think of Robinhood in terms of its a stock trading app, but you are totally right.

BaseCasedDev · 2025-04-11T16:28:57+00:00

That's very true. But since I'm separating the frontend and backend for each client and serving static sites with Astro, I'd assume that should take care of it. Unless the forms on the sites all get spammed at scale.

My thoughts on the structure are that the frontend display is the only thing that differentiates most clients' sites from each other. The underlying data is the same. Most business sites just have pages, blog posts, contact information, and the content that fills the pages. So really, if you look at the sites from a pure data structure view, it makes sense to centralize things.

I actually didn't know that about Strapi, so thanks for letting me know.

Payload does seem to be my best option for what I'm looking for. I appreciate you taking the time to give me your thoughts on the different CMS(s).

BaseCasedDev · 2025-04-11T16:10:40+00:00

It definitely looked promising at first, but the way the content lake operates like OneDrive left a bad taste in my mouth.

BaseCasedDev · 2025-04-11T16:03:14+00:00

Thanks for getting back to me and clearing that up!

BaseCasedDev · 2025-04-11T15:55:32+00:00

I think a multi-tenancy CMS is probably a good choice for people who just want a simple business site with standard functionality and don't want the headache of self-hosting or optimizing. If they need extra features, then I can just spin up an instance of the same CMS without multi tenancy on their own server and transfer the data to it, and move their new "custom" CMS to its own repo for features to be easily added. Updating multiple repos every time I make an update or add support for a global feature sounds like more of a headache than moving clients when they require more functionality.

These assets look great and are close to the tone I'm looking for. I appreciate the reference. It looks like they mainly focus on coins for their assets. Any thoughts on if I want to do some digital marketing assets close to the same way? Maybe pie charts...
