This question is only for developers IN THE EU who create websites and act as retainers.
I’m assuming the majority of you have clients create accounts on strapi, Wordpress, sanity, etc and you manage.
If so do you need a dpa agreement between you and the client because acting as a retainer makes you a data processor.
Any tools to generate a dpa?
I’m exploring a startup idea around automatically fixing integrations when third-party APIs change.
I’ve seen developers complain about this, but after talking to people in Kazakhstan’s tech industry, I heard that issues are often fixed quickly, either because teams get advance notice or simply update their code.
So I’d love to hear from developers here: How often does this happen, and how much time does it actually take to fix? Is it a real headache or usually no big deal?
If it’s not a serious problem, that’s useful to know too!
I need some suggesitons and advice. Despite talking to some webmasters from Reddit, i find most of them are using designs or flows that are ai generated. While i have nothing against that...the creativity required for a think tank website seems to be sorely missing. And this after repeatedly sharing excellent reference websites in the same field. So what am i doing wrong here? We are not reaching the quotations stage yet..and then this..Any suggestions or advice on how to talk to the modern age webmasters as to what you need for your website? Or any suggestion or recommendations of tried and tested webmasters at thane? Please help
I've noticed that sometimes a small website fix can turn into a much bigger job than expected.
You start by fixing one issue, then discover outdated plugins, messy code or dependencies that cause problems elsewhere.
For example, a plugin update might fix one issue but cause problems with the checkout or another feature because of old custom code. What looked like a quick fix suddenly needs much more investigation.
At some point, you have to wonder whether continuing to patch things is actually saving time and money.
I'm curious how other developers handle this.
Do you usually try to fix the existing website as much as possible, or is there a point where you recommend starting fresh?
I've had Bluehost for like 10+ years. When I originally signed up, they were just basic hosting. Over the years it was constant "new features" I didn't need or want, and a bunch of upselling.
Now it's gotten to a point where they just don't work for my needs anymore. I renewed my "unlimited" plan and have a limit of 50 "websites", which basically means domains pointing to a folder. I have like 300+ domains and about 90 of them in actual use, though only about 10 are actual websites of note.
Anyway, I need something simple and cheap. It doesn't have to be dedicated or high bandwidth since I don't have anything that's in high use. But still, I want it to be reliable.
Mainly I want to cut out all the "feature" crap and just add a domain, point it to a subfolder and manage a handful of databases. And I'd need SSLs on the domains.
Any suggestions?
