Design and build
Articles about design and build, for owners who want the whole picture.
- Where do I start with website accessibility?Start with the barriers that stop the most people: low contrast, images without alt text, unlabeled form fields, controls you can't reach by keyboard, uncaptioned video and messy headings. Find them with the W3C's free Easy Checks, fix your contact and booking pages first, and aim for WCAG 2.2 Level AA. This isn't legal advice.8 min
- How do I redesign my website without losing what works?Before anything changes, list every page with its visits, search clicks, leads and links. Keep and improve the pages that earn, map each old address to its closest new page with permanent 301 redirects, build and test on a staging copy, then check redirects, forms and search settings at launch and watch Search Console for months.9 min
- What should I fix first to speed up my site on phones?Fix the biggest, slowest thing first: on many small-business sites that's the large photo, slider or video at the top of the page. Then remove plugins and third-party scripts you don't need, make sure the server answers quickly with caching, and stop layout jumps. Measure on a phone before and after every change.8 min
