When consulting on projects and/or working as a developer on a project I use a wide variety of tools in my tech stacks. These resources are all things I have found incredibly helpful for myself and/or clients. If you use any of these links I will earn a discount off of them and so will you.
Domains
Name.com
If you need a domain, Name.com is pretty amazing. Become a new customer and we both get $5!. Every domain name I own is registered with name.com. I especially appreciate the ability to do ANAME or ALIAS records for DNS. This is incredibly helpful for “serverless” hosting like github, netlify, zeit.co, surge, etc. Name.com’s customer support is super fast and responsive. Whenever I have had questions or concerns they have been right there ready to help. Register or transfer your domains with them today. The code is

Hosting
Carrd.co for single page websites.
- If you visit Carrd.co through my link (or enter your referral code –
adjborYXJL3– directly at checkout) I will earn you 30% of the amount paid towards their next Pro upgrade or renewal. You will also get a discount. - here is my page adjb.carrd.co
- Carrd.co has a bunch of plans my favorite plans are:
- Carrd.co Pro Standard is $19 a year. That is it just $19 a year.
- Carrd.co Pro Lite is $9 a year for a more budget friendly plan.
- My Carrd discount code is:

Carrd.co is the best #nocode utility out there. It is great for academics, professionals, and anyone who needs a domain of one’s own. A domain of one’s own is exactly like a room of one’s own but only its digital. Carrd.co provides a simple and easy to use graphical user interface for creating amazing one-page sites for everything. Carrd.co has plenty of templates to get you started or you can DIY. Personally I use carrd.co pro standard all the time because it lets you bring and use your own domain name. The only downside of carrd.co pro lite is you cant use your own domain name you do get a free subdomain name. Your options are: “carrd.co”, “crd.co”, or “uwu.ai”. UWU is an emoticon depicting cuteness overload. Carrd.co replaces: about.me, flavors.me, linkin.bio, linktr.ee, or whatever leadpage software you are running. Nine times out of ten Carrd also replaces WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace. Most of the time all a person needs is a snazzy one page website. Still not convinced to try Carrd.co? Here are some samples from my consulting clients:
