Support WebDevStory
WebDevStory is free. No paywall, no popups, no AI-generated filler. If something here has been useful and you want to support the work, here are the ways that actually help.
What your support helps with
Writing time
The weekly briefing takes 8 to 12 hours to research, write, and fact-check. Technical posts take longer. Support helps make that time sustainable alongside client work.
Hosting and tools
Independent publications have real running costs: hosting, CDN, email infrastructure, research subscriptions, and the AI tools that get reviewed here. Support helps cover those.
Editorial independence
No sponsorships dictating coverage. No advertorial. No “thought leadership” pieces written to flatter vendors. Support helps keep the writing honest about what works and what doesn’t.
Ways to support
Free
Read and share
The single highest-leverage form of support is reading what gets published and sharing it with developers who’d find it useful. Forward briefings. Quote posts. Tag friends. That’s how independent publications grow.
One-time
Buy a coffee
Casual one-time appreciation. Funds the caffeine that produces briefings on Friday mornings. No tier, no perks, just thanks.
Highest-value
Hire me for projects
Paid client work through Nordic Digi Solutions is what actually sustains the publication. WordPress, WooCommerce, performance audits, AI integration. If your team needs a developer who writes and ships, that’s the deepest form of support.
What stays free, no matter what
Every post on WebDevStory stays free to read and open to search engines. The weekly briefing keeps publishing on Fridays. There’s no premium tier, no paywall coming later, no plan to put older posts behind a subscription wall.
The publication is structured this way because gated content stops being part of the conversation. The point of writing about developer tooling, WordPress, and AI is to be useful to developers searching for answers, not to extract subscription revenue from them.
Support is appreciated. It is never expected.
The simplest way to support
Subscribe to the weekly briefing. It’s free, it lands in your inbox every Friday, and it’s the easiest signal that what gets published here is worth reading.
