Guides

Four reference guides, updated as articles are published: AI for web developers, self-hosting WordPress, email deliverability and choosing a CMS.

Mail Studio’s guides are reference pages, updated as new articles are published. Each one covers a complete field and links to the articles that detail its particular points.

The four guides

AI for web developers

The three layers not to confuse, the role of the Model Context Protocol, the rules that make agents usable in production, and the five recurring failures.

Self-hosting WordPress

Choosing a hosting model, the stack that holds on a virtual private server, the trap of stacked caches, the security baseline, and what self-hosting does not solve.

Email deliverability

The full chain, from domain authentication to consent, with the thresholds providers actually measure and the diagnostic method.

Choosing a CMS

The criterion that decides before any feature comparison, WordPress against Drupal and PrestaShop, and the five questions to ask before committing.
