Elementor Page Builder
Elementor blew the WordPress page-builder landscape apart when it was launched a couple of years ago – it was so good, unbelievably good, and keeps getting better.

SiteGround Hosting
SiteGround is my No. 1 choice for Managed WordPress Hosting. I use if for all my client and personal sites – including this one!
It’s fast, affordable, scalable, has some awesome WordPress features, Backup, and some of the best Support you’ll find anywhere.
WP Rocket Website Speed
A modern WordPress website needs a good Cache Plugin – simple as that.
WP Rocket is not just a good Cache plugin – Its The Best Cache Plugin. I know, Ive tested them all!
UpdraftPlus Backup
Your Host should be backing up your website every day – if its not you’re with the wrong host! (see jakson.co/siteground and get that sorted!) .
But I always install this amazing plugin for that extra piece of mind – it can store your backups externally to DropBox, Amazon S3 etc. Plus you can take manual backups as and when you want – great for development when you want to add a new plugin or update your database!

I adore their DesktopServer product and use it every single day and couldn’t live without it!
