Folding the entire post-purchase flow into Kajabi — confirmations, order forms, the whole sequence — is where the brand actually earns trust, not just the landing page. Worth checking whether the confirmation and post-purchase pages read consistently when a customer hits them on a small phone after a sweaty match.
Emergency WordPress Bug Fix — Site Restored in 4 Hours
Nice work! WordPress bug fixing and quick site recovery are really important for businesses. Keeping a website stable and responsive makes a big difference.
A declining market doesn't always mean a declining opportunity.
I was looking at the latest CMS usage statistics, and one thing caught my attention.
📉 WordPress powers around 40.1% of all websites.
📉 Joomla powers around 1.1%.
These figures show a changing landscape. But here's the question I find more interesting:
Does a smaller market mean there is no business left?
Not necessarily.
Thousands of existing websites still need:
🔧 CMS migrations and version upgrades
🔒 Security fixes and malware removal
⚡ Performance optimization
🛠️ Custom extensions and functionality
🐛 Bug fixing and ongoing technical support
Businesses don't always need a complete rebuild. Sometimes, they need an experienced developer who can solve a difficult problem in the system they already use.
That's where specialist expertise matters.
My take: Don't just follow the biggest technology. Become exceptionally good at solving the problems its users face.
I'm curious to hear from other developers:
Are you seeing more demand for WordPress development, custom frameworks like Laravel, or maintenance of existing CMS websites?

Agreed. Migrations alone are a big market, and most teams leaving an old CMS just want something they can edit without breaking it.
