Expert Insights: What Most People Get Wrong

Based on 8 years of experience, here are the critical mistakes I see clients make—and how I fix them:

• Using default wp_mail without authentication - Most Collingwood sites send via shared hosting with no SPF/DKIM, triggering spam filters immediately. I replace this with WP Mail SMTP using port 587 and OAuth2 where possible, cutting spam scores from 6+ to under 1.5.
• Ignoring Australian ISP rules - Telstra and Optus block unauthenticated mail from Victorian IPs. I add proper reverse DNS and DMARC policies with p=quarantine, something generic tutorials skip.
• Overusing contact form plugins without cleanup - Multiple active plugins create header conflicts. I audit with Query Monitor, deactivate extras and enforce a single lightweight form handler with custom sanitisation filters.
• Skipping ongoing monitoring - Even fixed sites can drift after updates. Before hiring me, install the free Mailgun plugin and set up weekly test alerts to your own inbox so you catch issues early.

When you hire me, you get all this expertise applied directly to YOUR project—saving you time, money, and headaches.
