“Why can’t it be as easy to use as WordPress?” or, more pointedly, “Why can’t we just use WordPress?”

These are the questions asked by many digital marketers frustrated with their enterprise-sanctioned Web Content and Experience Management (WCM) system.

TL;DR: As of April 29, you can get a lifetime freelancer plan for Brizy Next-Gen WordPress Website Builder for just $69, which is down 76% from its usual $299.

Even if you grew up in the AIM or Tumblr age, the bits of HTML and CSS you acquired probably aren’t enough to build an entire website from scratch. If you have the capacity to learn how to code on your own time, by all means — it’s a worthy skill to obtain. If not, you have some options as well, like using a no-code website builder like Brizy.

I have been raving about the power of patterns for what feels like forever at this point. And, just when I start wondering what this feature will look like next, someone surprises me with a new idea. Often that person is Munir Kamal.

He mentioned that he would share a “little” page-generation app that ties into the WordPress patterns library earlier this week. Today, he publicly announced that it was live on Gutenberg Hub.

Ukraine’s computer emergency response team (CERT-UA) has published an announcement warning of ongoing DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks targeting pro-Ukraine sites and the government web portal.

The threat actors, who at this time remain unknown, are compromising WordPress sites and injecting malicious JavaScript code to perform the attacks.

These scripts are placed in the HTML structure of the main files of the website and are base64-encoded to evade detection.

The code runs on the website visitor’s computer and directs their available computational resources to generate an…

Careful and consistent administration of a WordPress website can not only help you ensure happy visitors and users but ultimately more of them. However, many WordPress website owners are not in the business of managing WordPress websites.

With primary focus lying elsewhere (mainly on running the business), they tend to find this activity something of a black box that can take valuable time away from the core business.

Uppmärksamhet! New research digs into the economics of ebikes.

What do Sweden, Norway, Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and Scotland have in common? They have all introduced subsidies for electric bicycles.

In today’s blog, I want to write about new research from economists Anders Anderson and Harrison Hong on ebike subsidies in Sweden.
