Over the last few months I’ve been deep in rebuilding and automation, starting with Basingstoke Community Radio and ending with a full system powering my own sites.
It began with helping the radio station recover from unstable WordPress setups. What started as one fix became a full rebuild of three sites, tightening security and improving speed.
After that, I turned the same approach to my own projects, rebuilding two sites in pure HTML and CSS for speed, stability, and clean SEO. The only drawback? Writing posts manually takes time.
So I built automation to solve it.
Now, with two custom apps, one for blog posts and one for social media, everything runs securely and efficiently. Meta tags and schema are handled automatically, and publishing across all platforms takes about 15 minutes total.
No Zapier, no fragile integrations, just solid scripts and PowerShell doing the heavy lifting.
That means I can keep my photography and book projects moving without losing time to admin. The system works quietly in the background, freeing me to focus on creativity.
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
