Two of our customers who were interested in SMS marketing or SMS WiFi login are on some tourist heaven islands and Twilio is expensive there so they used GoIP on their own as it’s way cheaper to send local SMS there without the need to go outside to the continent.

Ah, fixed ;)

The thing is Google has a big search monopoly and they do like to have Search Console and Analytics plugged in for a website they are indexing.

Not sure if monetization by ads will work no matter the source (aside from very aggressive and very clickbaity ads?). If you want some reliable monetization it would have to be some sort of sponsored cooperation, merchandise, or services.

PHP seems to be getting a lot of positives lately, especially Laravel. Many years ago I moved from PHP to Python and Django to now also use a few other Python frameworks like Flask as well. On the frontend, I’ve used Ember.js for two big SPA dashboards and also Vue 3 for WebSockets and API-based dashboard. With the dashboards bias, I would not pick anything that doesn’t have a good data layer :)

Recently I’m also into static site generators like Astro and 11ty which are kinds of frameworks that generate a static site but the effect can be quite lively edited website through various git based headless CMS systems.
