My agency domain ackinglobal.com had a serious email deliverability problem. Outgoing emails were landing in spam or not sending at all. I sat down, diagnosed the root cause myself, and found it was a combination of misconfigured DMARC records and broken SMTP authentication. I corrected the SPF, DKIM, and DMARC alignment, reconfigured the SMTP settings, and got full inbox delivery restored. No outside help, no support ticket to someone else. I found the problem, I fixed it, and I learned every step of why it happened.

I designed and built the entire ACKINGLOBAL website from scratch using WordPress and Elementor. That meant building out custom page layouts, integrating the right plugins, making everything work properly on mobile, tuning performance, and keeping it updated over time. Maintaining a live agency site taught me how every layer of WordPress connects, from the database all the way up to what the visitor sees.

I configured and managed all the DNS records for ackinglobal.com, including A, MX, TXT, and CNAME records, across both the domain registrar and Cloudflare. I set up SSL certificates, managed Cloudflare proxy settings, and worked through propagation issues that were causing downtime and email failures. Everything I know about DNS I learned by making real mistakes on a live domain and figuring out how to fix them.

I tracked down and fixed performance issues on the agency site. The problems ranged from unoptimized images to plugin bloat to missing caching setup. I configured WP Rocket and LiteSpeed Cache, set up Cloudflare caching rules, and kept an eye on Core Web Vitals through Google PageSpeed Insights after every change. Every single adjustment was tested on a live site where the results actually mattered.

I have dealt with plugin conflicts, themes breaking after updates, and PHP compatibility issues directly on a live site. I have worked across Elementor, WPBakery, and Divi and debugged everything from white screen errors to broken layouts to admin access failures. I went into cPanel file manager and wp-config directly to fix things rather than waiting on managed support to handle it.

I have handled website migrations including domain transfers and hosting environment changes. I also built the habit of running full site backups before any major update or change, a discipline that came from learning firsthand what happens when you skip that step. Every migration I have done included DNS cutover, SSL re-provisioning, and full functionality testing after the move.
