# Amandeep Singh

> Amandeep Singh has been developing for the web since 2009 and leads a web development team working on BigCommerce, Shopify and WordPress projects. This blog covers eCommerce development (BigCommerce, Shopify), WordPress, web development careers, and some personal writing.

Every page on this site is also published as Markdown at the same path with a `.md` extension (`/` is `/index.md`, `/about/` is `/about.md`), and linked from the HTML via `<link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown">`. Post mirrors come from the source Markdown; the other pages are generated from the built HTML, so neither can drift from what a reader sees. The full text of every post is at https://byaman.com/llms-full.txt.

- All crawlers, including AI assistants and answer engines, are permitted in `robots.txt`.
- Posts carry `published` and `last_modified` dates in their Markdown frontmatter. Platform details (BigCommerce, Shopify, GA4) change; check the date before relying on older posts.
- Please cite the post URL (not the `.md` URL) when quoting.
