In this episode of the podcast, Matt and Mike discuss tackling the new HTML All The Things website with Sanity.io, Nuxt.js, and Netlify. Rather than the standard cPanel hosting, or the existing setup with Digital Ocean, this deployment is going to be completely within the free tiers of these offerings with the ability to scale as the website gains traction. In addition to the discussion around these technologies, this episode does a deep dive into the UI/UX planning of the website, going over the recently completed wireframes that house a variety of design choices that should help the user navigate the site easier while updating the site to a more modern layout. This episode is a great resource for anyone that is curious about the planning procedure that goes into making a website in a small team.

Making websites require a lot of different skills from the folks in the office acquiring the job, to the developers and designers that make the website work, then to the marketing officials that make the website popular. Often times freelancers, or small businesses are unable to cover all the bases when it comes to all these skill sets, leaving rather large holes in their company's tool set. Luckily there are a variety of ways to avoid these issues, each one offering a unique set of pros and cons depending on the situation at hand.

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss something that's currently stumped the development of the HTML All The Things website - the CMS. Originally planned as a Vue.js UI alongside a custom admin panel, the new plan for the website has raised some questions that all web developers have faced at some point in their career. Should you reinvent the wheel with a fully custom solution? Or should you get up and running quickly and find a pre-built solution?

With the very real fear of downtime, issues, or data loss on the line, it's important to take the appropriate steps to give you the best chance of success.

In this episode, Matt and Mike discuss freelancing, contracting, and remote work some of the most important and quickly growing segments in the web development industry. Web developers often find themselves trying to decide between a traditional job and freelancing their skills out on their own. While freelancing sound lucrative and exciting, traditional jobs offer more stability and benefits that are generally not found elsewhere. We discuss these pros and cons of each of these pathways, and then change gears to discuss influencers and their affect on the social media platforms that we all use.

Every entrepreneur at some point in their career has tried to turn themselves against the bureaucracy and slow systems that drive large corporate machines only to find themselves needing similar systems to keep themselves afloat.

Then we change things up with a length discussion on digital wellbeing again, but this time we talk about the plethora of digital wallets and their associated apps and loyalty cards.
