CRM and marketing tools
HubSpot CRM (free!): This has become my go-to CRM. It is simple, but has many integrations with other software I use.
Fluent CRM: A CRM that can be run from within WordPress
Fluent Booking: Appointment booking for WordPress
PipelinePRO: Another CRM with lots of features
E-commerce / Shopping Carts
E-commerce needs to work in concert with your overall workflow. Some carts can be part of your accounting or CRM systems, but others allow the greatest flexibility within WordPress. When I work on your website or landing pages, I make sure that you have a seamless system for running your business.
SureCart. This is a great solution that uses several payment processors. You can start free, and upgrade as you need.
Studiocart. This is another sophisticated e-commerce system that works right within WordPress. If you use me for hosting and care, I have several licenses that sites can use without additional cost, or you can use the link to purchase a license.
Domain Registration
Register Your Domains Hassle-Free with Namecheap
Get Business Email accounts for your domain! As low as 91 cents per month!

An alternative for email hosting is Google Workspace (see above). I will also move your email for free if you use my referral link.
Email / Outbound Marketing
We use Luna.ai for some of our outbound emails. The emails are closer to warm than cold, and you can use your own leads or leads provided by Luna!
3D Web Development
I use and recommend DigiWorldz for Opensimulator hosting.
We use Ramnode for easily deployable cloud hosting.
I run Ubuntu Linux and Windows 11 on top of my Macbook Pro M3 without breaking a sweat, thanks to Parallels Desktop.
