I'm the developer behind kables.store. I build e-commerce stores, marketplaces and business web applications with Laravel, WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify. I built every tool on this site and wrote every article on the blog, mostly about problems I run into in my own client work.

How I write these guides
Every article on kables.store is based on the tools on this site and the work I do as a developer. When I give a number, such as a compression setting or an image size, it comes from the tool's actual code, official documentation or my own testing. If you spot something that's wrong or out of date, please tell me and I'll correct it.
