Web development, agent-based automation and customer acquisition: articles written to be useful to business leaders and technical teams alike. Every post cites its sources and shows when they were checked.
Core Web Vitals are three measures of your visitors' real experience: loading (LCP, 2.5 seconds at most), responsiveness (INP, 200 milliseconds at most) and visual stability (CLS, 0.1 at most). Google recommends meeting them to succeed in Search, but they don't replace useful content: above all, they stop good content from being held back by a poor experience.
Since 28 June 2025, Directive (EU) 2019/882 — the European Accessibility Act — has imposed accessibility requirements on several digital services, including e-commerce. Microenterprises providing services are exempt, and a transition period runs until 2030 for some equipment. Here's what the text says, article by article, and where to start technically.
SPF, DKIM and DMARC are three DNS records that prove an email sent with your domain name really comes from you. SPF lists the servers allowed to send, DKIM signs each message, and DMARC tells the recipient what to do when the check fails — and sends you reports. Since 1 February 2024, Gmail has required at least one of the first two from every sender.
A webhook is a URL you give to a third-party service so it sends an HTTP request to your application as soon as an event happens on its side: a payment collected, a form submitted, an order shipped. It's the opposite of *polling*: instead of querying an API every five minutes to see if there's anything new, you wait to be told.
An automatic reminder for unpaid invoices fits in a five-node n8n workflow: a scheduled trigger, a read of your invoices, a filter on the due date, an email, and a write-back of the reminder date. The real cost isn't the subscription — €20 a month on the Starter plan — it's the means of paying that subscription from Tunisia, and the few hours of maintenance per quarter that nobody budgets for.
Stripe and the big international gateways don't open merchant accounts in Tunisia. To take card payments on a Tunisian website, you go through ClicToPay via your bank, or through a local gateway such as Paymee, Konnect or Flouci. The choice comes down to three concrete points: who accepts foreign cards, what commission you pay, and how many weeks the bank paperwork costs you before the first transaction.
