What is website accessibility? Web accessibility means as many people as possible can actually use your site. Read your content, find your services, fill in a form, make a donation etc. Whatever device they’re on or whatever obstacles they may face. It’s easy to think of accessibility as just relating to blind or visually impaired […]
When it comes to getting some compelling copy written for your website or marketing materials, you’ll often find that writing the brief takes longer than it would for you to just write the copy yourself.
