Practical guides to modern web development

I write about the technologies and decisions I use in real web work: increasingly Astro and modern frontend and deployment workflows, alongside PHP, WordPress, Laravel, APIs, and integrations. The guides are not built around one preferred stack. They focus on why a tool fits, how it behaves in production, and how to build something that remains understandable. Examples range from content-driven sites and Cloudflare deployments to booking flows and projects connected to Thailand.

Choose the stack for the problem

Astro is a strong choice for fast, content-driven sites and modern deployment workflows, but it is not a universal replacement for dynamic backends or established content workflows. PHP, WordPress, Laravel, and other tools still make sense when their strengths match the job.
  • Astro and modern frontend. Build component-based, content-focused sites with fast delivery, clear structure, and only as much client-side JavaScript as the experience needs.
  • PHP and content systems. Use PHP, WordPress, or Laravel when editing workflows, dynamic features, plugins, administration, or backend logic are central to the project.
  • APIs and production behaviour. Design integrations, deployment, errors, retries, logging, and maintenance as part of the solution rather than details to add later.

Thirty years of PHP and why its practical strengths endure

PHP turned 30 in 2025! From Rasmus Lerdorf’s 1995 hobby script to the engine behind WordPress, Facebook, and 77 % of today’s dynamic sites, the language has evolved through PHP 3, the Zend‑powered PHP 4, OOP‑centric PHP 5, and the blisteringly fast PHP 7‑8.5 era of JIT, attributes, and modern frameworks—proof that PHP’s best days are still ahead.
