Online Business Resources

All of these resources are things I am currently using or have used in the past. I only recommend products that I think are the very best option depending on someone’s budget. I also will earn a small commission from the links if I am an affiliate.

Themes

Kadence Theme

This is a great theme, which is currently running on this site. Some of the benefits of this theme are…

  • USA Company
  • Super Fast out of the box.
  • Easy to use with no page builder needed.
  • Great features like changing the header so easily.
  • Has an incredible deal on a Pro version and a membership.
  • Works well with my tech stack.
  • Great Customer Support.

Astra Theme

I have been using Astra themes for years. I have it on some of my sites currently. They have always been known for speed and the site has good code. Here some of the features I like…

  • Fast out of the box.
  • Works really well with most plugins.
  • Company is on the front lines of innovation for Themes.
  • Has a great Pro version.
  • Pairs well with Free Ultimate Addons.
  • Works well with my tech stack.

Hosting

BigScoots

I recently switched over to these guys and I am really happy with the service. One of the best parts is the company in the USA. I have nothing bad to say and they continue to impress.

  • USA Company
  • Incredible Customer Service
  • Company is always working towards being the best!
  • Great shared hosting if you just getting started.

SiteGround

I used these guys before I moved over to BigScoots. I think the best plan that they have is the GoGeek plan if you are planning on growing your site.

  • Multiple priced plans.
  • Has some great customer service.

Bluehost

This is the hosting that I first started with. It is by far one of the cheapest options to get started. I would choose the others if you can afford it.

  • Cheapest option.
  • Very popular for beginners.
  • Customer service is not the best!

Domain Register

Namecheap

This has been a very easy place to keep my domains. They have good pricing and a very easy to use interface. Always a good idea to keep your domains separate than your host.

  • Easy to use interface.
  • Great pricing.

Plugins

WP Rocket

I have used so many cache plugins and I have found nothing beats the rocket! It is so worth the money and I would not even think of not using this plugin. Highly Recommend.

  • Speeds up your site.
  • Very easy to use.
  • You need to have it if you are serious about PageSpeed.

List Building

MailerLite

Building a list is important. This email tool has a lot going for it. Being the little guy in the space I do feel it is great value.

  • Great Pricing
  • Easy to add email capture on your website.
