For the last 11 years I've mostly built things for other people: WordPress plugins, WooCommerce stores and web apps, 730+ client projects so far. I run a small studio called AL SAAD IT SOLUTION.

... hunters We just launched LLMagnet on Product Hunt today. Short version: most WordPress owners still optimize for Google, while ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini / Perplexity (and agents) are already crawling and summarizing the web.

Major AI labs and applications look for machine-readable discovery files, RSL policies, and structured registry feeds to know if a site is legitimate.

Also, I built a centralized infrastructure layer combined with a lightweight WordPress

... Developer Diary: Rebuilding a SaaS Website from Scratch I have built many WordPress websites for different types of businesses over the years. Some projects are simple company websites, while others need complex systems with dashboards, payment pages, and customer areas. A SaaS website is a little different.

For years I watched non-technical WordPress site owners (and honestly, myself) completely stuck on PHP errors they couldn't read, slow sites they couldn't diagnose, and plugin updates they were afraid to run.
