When our website suddenly crashed, I panicked and then I talked to Will. He helped fully recover the website data from a failed machine and deployed it on a full new server stack.
Will was a godsend for Stark Bellamy Photography! Between his WordPress knowledge and SEO skills we were in good hands. Not only did he help us build a beautiful website and then have that site climb high in search, but he also taught us volumes about SEO. He taught us how to style our blog, create content and drive traffic to our site so we could build for the future. We would be nowhere near where we are now without Mr. Patton.
Will helped me reach the next step in learning web development. He answered all of my questions I couldn’t find answers for anywhere else. Now I can run my website exactly the way I had imagined it. His services were quick and painless. I am very happy to recommend him to any of my friends.
Will Patton is the sharpest WordPress developer I know. He also knows more about hosting than anyone I have ever come across. When he installed https on my site, he tweaked some settings and my pages load twice as fast now as they did. He will be hosting and updating GrowMap.com for me soon.

Then your CI fails anyway because the environment doesn’t match your laptop. This Docker image solves both problems. One image, PHP 7.4–8.4 support, same environment everywhere. Local tests run exactly like CI tests. No setup steps. No environment drift.
Focus traps are an important—often misunderstood—keyboard navigation pattern. While their main appeal is improving accessibility, they also improve the user experience for everyone. They keep users where they want to be, avoiding confusion and disorientation. This article is primarily about …
