TheGrue is run by a small team of online entrepreneurs who have been building the web since 2017, spending their days elbow-deep in open source software. WordPress and Joomla are where we feel most at home — we build sites with them, extend them, break them, fix them, and occasionally develop our own extensions and plugins along the way.
The idea behind TheGrue.org is simple: gather everything we've learned about web development and web design in one place and make it useful for everyone — whether you're publishing your very first page or you've been shipping sites for years. You'll find step-by-step tutorials, free resources like templates and plugins, web design inspiration, and practical tips for building a website that looks and behaves like it was made by a pro.
Hosting reviews
A website is only as good as the server it lives on, so we also maintain a hosting review section where we write up our first-hand experience with the companies we actually use. No lab tests, no copy-pasted spec sheets — just what happened when we hosted real projects there.
Reader reviews are more than welcome! If you've had a great (or terrible) run with a particular web host, drop us a line and tell us about it — your feedback helps everyone choose better.
Take care!
The TheGrue Team
