I keep functions small and boring on purpose, boring code is the code that does not page you at night. Write it so a tired colleague can follow it at five on a Friday.

74% of the interior design studio websites I checked need more than 4 seconds to show their main content on a phone. Google's target is 2.5. Big images are usually the reason. An easy fix.

AI will not replace developers, but it is already replacing slow ones. The tool is fast, the taste still has to come from a human who has shipped before.

Renting your website on a closed platform is fine until the day you want to leave. Build on open, boring, portable tech and you will never be held hostage by a plan upgrade. Worth repeating.

The best SEO trick is a page that actually answers the question people typed. Fix the basics first, the fancy stuff only matters once the basics stop leaking. Still true in 2026.
