The last bank holiday of summer is here, which feels slightly rude, but we’ll allow it. 😆

Whether you’re off somewhere lovely, staying firmly horizontal, tackling a DIY job you may later regret, or simply enjoying one extra day away from your inbox, we hope it’s a good one.

And to all the websites quietly behaving themselves while everyone is off enjoying the long weekend: thank you for your service. 🫡

Good web support is not just about knowing your way around WordPress.

It is about being easy to talk to, quick to understand what is needed and calm enough to sort the problem without making everyone wish they had chosen a career involving less internet.

We are lucky to work with brilliant clients who trust us to find the right way forward, even when the brief is not perfectly neat and tidy.

Because, let’s be honest, when is it ever?

Today is for everyone building something from scratch, making it up as they go along and pretending the spreadsheet is “under control.” 👀

Running a business takes guts, patience and a frankly suspicious amount of caffeine.

Meet Laura, Soto’s Developer and Projects Lead. 👋

With a background in maths and analytics, Laura found her way into web development through curiosity, self-teaching and, we assume, a healthy tolerance for things not working the first time.

She’s been building websites professionally for over 10 years and first started freelancing with Soto before officially joining the team. Now, she brings sharp attention to detail, calm project know-how and a talent for solving the fiddly problems that make the rest of us stare blankly at the screen. 💻

Basically, when something really doesn’t want to work, Laura is often the one who quietly makes it behave.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find her on a coffee run with her dogs or treasure hunting at flea markets.

Excellent taste all round, really. ☕🐾

Trackbacks in WordPress.

Sounds thrilling, doesn’t it? The sort of thing you’d bring up at a dinner party if you wanted to be gently uninvited next time. 🍽️

But if you’ve spotted trackbacks or pingbacks in your WordPress settings and thought, “Do I need these, or is this another mysterious internet relic?”, this one’s for you.

In our latest blog, we explain what trackbacks are, how they differ from pingbacks, whether they help SEO, and whether most websites should still use them in 2026.

Spoiler: probably not. But we’ll explain why, because we’re helpful like that.

Flights are brilliant. ✈️

They get us to holidays, meetings, conferences and that one “quick work trip” that somehow involves three airports, two meal deals and a deeply emotional relationship with a departure board.

But they also come with a carbon footprint.

Ecologi’s Flight Calculator helps you estimate the emissions from your flights, including factors like aircraft type, cabin class and non-CO₂ warming effects.

Before your next trip, you can get a clearer idea of the impact and make more informed choices.

Less guesswork. More “right, let’s actually look at the numbers.” 🌍

🚴‍♀️ Le Loop gives riders the chance to cycle the official Tour de France route one week before the pros, all while raising vital funds for the William Wates Memorial Trust.

Behind the scenes, that means a lot of moving parts. Riders, routes, hotels, medical forms, prep info, membership areas and enough logistics to make your average spreadsheet quietly weep.

Soto helped create a faster, smarter WordPress site with bespoke membership functionality, giving each rider access to the right information at the right time.

Less admin faff. More focus on the ride.

Take a look at the project here:

It’s World Wide Web Day. 🌍💻

A day to celebrate the thing that lets us work, shop, learn, connect, panic-Google error messages and pretend we definitely read the full terms and conditions.

For businesses, your website is often the first place people meet you. Which means it needs to do more than sit there looking pretty.

It should work hard, load quickly, guide people clearly and not make them mutter “oh for goodness’ sake” into their tea. ☕

Quite the concept, we know.
