The tools, plugins and themes I actually use and recommend for building websites.
A curated list of the tools, plugins and themes I use in my own projects — and the reasons I keep coming back to them.
Nothing here is recommended because of a sponsorship. Every item is something I have used on real client sites, long enough to know where it helps and where it gets in the way.
Where a tool has a free tier that is genuinely enough, that is what I say — you will not be pushed toward the paid plan for the sake of it.
The list is grouped into tools, plugins and themes so you can jump straight to the part you need rather than reading the whole thing.
It gets updated as things change. When something stops being my first choice, it comes off the list rather than sitting here out of date.
