I'm Pan, the person behind H28. Ex-lawyer turned builder - marketing agency, online shops, trading, two books. I've spent years testing tools the hard way (Canva, Adobe, Shopify, Wix, ElevenLabs, beehiiv, and Mailchimp before that), so H28 can tell you which one actually fits your job. Honest reviews, the good and the bad, never hype.
