In the past couple days I've gotten two different questions regarding building functionality out in WordPress. This seems a bit...weird with timing, given that Drupal CMS just launched three days ago!

Happy New Year!

This month we're doing a deep dive into privacy. Privacy for website owners, privacy for you, privacy for the world. To cap it all off, we have a special Privacy Tune-up offer to make sure your privacy policy is accurate and covering your assets...

And if that's not enough, it's a big week for Drupal -- see below for why!

Owning a website in 2025 is not as freeform a thing as it was a couple decades ago. Much like the owner of a store or an amusement park ride has to pay some attention to safety hazards, now site owners can't simply neglect caring for the privacy of their visitors.

As we start developing mini-products to offer to our clients, we've found we actually need to group multiple products under one purchase.

Yesterday a client asked us to install Rules module (again, repeating an earlier request, when he had missed my answer that we had installed ECA instead).

It's the end of 2024, and compared to 10 years ago, there's a lot of changes when it comes to privacy.

Ask a teenager these days about why privacy matters, and they will say it doesn't -- there is no privacy anymore.

But would you willingly put your credit cards out on a bulletin board, inviting anyone to buy stuff on your dime?

Hi,

At Freelock we're kicking off our long-anticipated "Vision" program, a series of newsletters, blog posts, and videos about website effectiveness. Before we get into the meat of things, we're setting the stage with the question, "How do we know if it worked?" And the answer is -- data.

So this month we're looking at a primary source of data, Website analytics.

How do you know if your website is working effectively? What does that even mean?

Stuart always has insightful things to say about Website analytics. Here's a conversation we had a while back, about the key things site owners should consider with their website analytics, and the serendipity to be found by digging through data and talking with each other.

How much do you spend on your website? I'm not asking how much it cost you to create/build -- I mean day to day, what does it cost to own and maintain your site?

And what happens if you stop paying that?

High load isn't necessarily an emergency, but it may be a heads-up before a site noticeably slows down. Sometimes there are weird spikes that just go away, but sometimes this is an indication of a Denial of Service.
