Leading Design is a supportive community nurturing design leadership through inspiring and engaging events, conferences and retreats.
Your customers deserve a website that’s fast, inclusive, and easy to use. It’s worth spending one day deep-diving into your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to find easy ways to improve user experience.
It’s surprising how even small changes can make a big difference to your site’s performance. And the most common accessibility issues are also the easiest to fix. With the added potential of new browser features there are so many ways that your team could turbo-boost your site!
When it comes to web design there are arguably few that know more than Jeremy Keith. Jeremy was able to pre-empt a lot of questions and it came across very clearly that he had spent a good deal of time designing the workshop.
What you’ll learn
By the end of the day, your team will be using the mindset of progressive enhancement to make your website better for everyone.
