TOOLS I RECOMMEND
Good software makes your workflow better. Here is a list of digital tools that I recommend.
Elementor is the most popular WordPress pagebuilder in the world. It has over 5 million downloads. Why I like Elementor:
- It is super easy to build pages because it’s all visual, no code at all.
- Your can create pixel perfect designs. Just how we like it as designers.
- If you are working for clients you can buy multiple licenses at once.
- There is a lot of educational content about it because of it’s popularity.
- It has amazing animation and scroll effects built in.
A2 Hosting has proved themselves in the last couple of years to be reliable and fast. I myself have their cloud hosting and it’s blazing fast! It’s also perfect for anybody on a budget.
- Really nicely designed interface
- Super affordable
- Free domain on some plans

Missing plugins/addons for your Elementor websites. You need this if you want to build more complex websites with Elementor.
- It comes with the amazing Jet Engine. Create your own custom post types and custom fields. All in 1 plugin (similar to ACF).
- A powerful Search feature to add to a website with Jet Search.
- Comes with JetSmartFilters, which is great for creating a filter for your dynamic content.
- Pretty fun visual effects (like parallax effect) with Jet Tricks.
Pro tip: Check their pricing. The freelance package is the best value I think.
