Everything around the site itself: planning, launching, maintaining.
Web Design
White space is not emptiness waiting to be filled. It is the mechanism that tells the eye what belongs together, and it works before anyone reads a word.
Web Design
A style guide is not a design deliverable. It is the record of decisions already made, so page forty looks like page one without anyone having to remember why.
Web Design
Automated tools find about a third of accessibility problems. This is the rest — the manual checks that take an afternoon and catch what actually blocks people.
Web Design
Mobile first is not about phones. It is about deciding priority while the screen is too small to avoid deciding, then adding space rather than removing content.
Web Design
Hierarchy, contrast, proximity, consistency and restraint. Five ideas that decide whether a page works, none of which depend on what is currently fashionable.
Web Design
Navigation fails at the label far more often than at the layout. Fix the words first — a beautiful menu of vague nouns still leaves people guessing.
Web Design
A landing page has one job and everything on it either serves that job or competes with it. Most underperforming pages are not badly designed — they are trying to do three things.

No plugin makes a site compliant. What a plugin can do is handle the paperwork around decisions you already made, and the decisions are about which third parties see your visitors.

Both frameworks work in a WordPress theme, and both collide with the block editor in their own way. The deciding question is who writes the markup — you, or the person editing the page.
Website Building
Choosing a translation plugin is the last decision, not the first. What determines whether a multilingual site works is the URL structure, who writes the translations, and what happens to them when content changes.
