Tools and Software
Alongside the web design and WordPress work, I build practical tools for website owners, small businesses, and developers. These are things I made to solve real problems: finding broken pages, organizing files safely, and spotting common website issues fast.
Most of these tools are free and open source. A few have WordPress plugin versions for people who prefer an in-dashboard option. None of them require a subscription to get started.

Current tools
Available tools and software
Each tool is built to be straightforward. Install it, run it, and get a useful result. No accounts, no dashboards, no bloat.
Website Fix Finder
A free website scan and report tool that checks for common website issues: missing meta descriptions, slow load indicators, broken contact info, missing HTTPS, and other basics that affect how a business website looks to visitors and search engines.
WD-404 Website Diagnostics
A website diagnostics and 404 checking tool that crawls a site and reports on broken pages, redirect chains, crawl issues, and common problems that hurt both user experience and search visibility. Open source and available on GitHub.
SafeSort AI
A local file organization assistant built around a preview-first, rollback-safe workflow. It scans a directory, shows what it plans to do, and waits for confirmation before moving anything. Designed for people who have been burned by aggressive auto-organizers before.
WordPress plugins alongside these tools
Some of these tools also exist as WordPress plugins, making them easier to use for people who manage their site from the WordPress dashboard.
