Welcome to a fresh chapter on my blog, where I’ll be sharing regular news and updates about the exciting developments at ML, Unified Web Design and Unified Plugins.

At Unified Plugins over the past few years, we’ve worked tirelessly to build a suite of plugins that we’re proud to offer. These plugins feature robust capabilities and are available both individually and as part of a comprehensive bundle, which includes our custom-built full-site editing block theme.

Looking ahead to 2025, we’re gearing up to expand our educational resources at UP! We’ll be launching a new YouTube channel featuring short, WordPress-focused tutorials. These videos will showcase how to get the most out of our plugins, themes, and overall WordPress experience.

On the agency side at Unified Web Design, beyond our existing contracts and long-term relationships, we’re hitting our stride with some exciting projects and new opportunities are lining up.

A few highlights: one key agency partnership is growing stronger, and we’re currently in talks to take on even more work for them in the coming months.

In addition, we’ve embarked on a unique, large-scale project auditing a server that hosts over 80 websites—just one of many servers in their network. By leveraging New Relic and WP Engine’s logs, we’ve identified critical performance issues and recommended actionable solutions. The insights we’re gaining here will not only improve these initial sites but potentially hundreds—if not thousands—more.

We knew going in that we’d encounter substantial technical debt and performance bottlenecks. Our goal has been to dig deeper, validate our assumptions, and create a clear roadmap to streamline, improve and enhance this expansive ecosystem of sites.

Despite the economic hurdles of 2024 that impacted some relationships (both agencies & direct clients), we’re heading into the new year with optimism and momentum. We have significant projects on the horizon, renewed energy, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Stay tuned for more updates as we move forward into 2025 and beyond!
