Guides

Practical guides, notes and solutions about automation, digital products, websites, SEO and quality. Only things that can be understood, checked and used.

No ornamental theory.

Guides for making decisions, not filling a blog. I write about problems that show up in real projects: launches, automation, SEO, APIs, multilingual content and technical decisions that someone later has to maintain.

Selected commercial guides are available in four languages. English-only articles are marked EN.
