Notes from building WordPress, Shopify and SaaS platforms, including how I work with AI models and agents.
A plain checklist for hiring a web developer or AI engineer: scope, stack, performance, ownership, AI usage and the questions to ask before you start.
How AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity fit into building websites, online stores and SaaS products, and when ChatGPT or Claude is the better tool.
A WebGL hero, magnetic buttons and a much lighter site. What changed, what it cost, and what I would do again.
Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor and Codex speed up delivery. Here is where they help, and where a person still decides.
What the Model Context Protocol is, why it suits WordPress, and the safeguards I put around an agent that can touch a live site.
The short list I run through on every WordPress and Shopify project before it goes live.
