AI-Powered WordPress Intake Form With Gravity Forms and Salesforce

Most business websites have some version of a contact form. Someone fills out their name, email address, phone number, and a short message. Then the form submission lands in somebody’s inbox, where a real human being has to figure out what the person wants, how urgent it is, whether it’s a good fit, who should follow up, and what information is still missing....

Most of our clients and friends are somewhere between: “Hmm, I know that I should be using AI in my website redesign, but I’m just not sure exactly how that works.

We recently got a call from a new client who was crazy with worry about Yandex links showing up in the footer of their site. Their web developers had told them the site was clean and that it was a browser glitch or a virus on their computer.

Magento 2 ERP Integration Failing? Here’s How I Usually Untangle the Mess

I usually hear about the ERP integration after everyone is already tired of it. Not at the beginning, when the plan still sounds clean and exciting. Not when someone is saying things like “seamless data flow” and “real-time inventory visibility” in a conference room. I usually hear about it later. Orders are missing. Inventory is wrong. B2B customers are seeing prices they should not be seeing....

I Finally Fixed a WooCommerce Slow Add to Cart Problem, and Now I Need a Beer

I’ve worked on a lot of WooCommerce stores. That’s not meant as a flex, exactly. It’s more that I’ve had enough weird checkout problems, mystery slowdowns, cart issues, plugin conflicts, and “why is this suddenly broken?” moments pass across my desk that I usually have a good instinct for where to look first.
