Accessibility, when it comes to web applications, should be at the forefront of any planning. It is the new mobile first approach.
The power of the Web is in its universality.
Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.
Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director and inventor of the World Wide Web
Prototypes are an important starting point of every project no matter the size. They help to distill the project down to just a few sketches. In fact, you may already be prototyping with your current projects. That little doodle in your notebook? Well, that right there is prototyping in its simplest form.
Whether it being visual design or software, design patterns are important, very important. You don’t even have to be a huge team of designers, developers, copywriters and account handlers to see the benefits of having a system in place. Having your own set of design patterns and standards is very beneficial for teams to get projects out the door as smoothly as possible.
Whenever we begin a project, we know the importance of the website or web application working across an array of browsers and devices. With a vast amount of devices getting released each year and the many updates that occur to most popular browsers and handheld devices. This becomes so much more important.
When it comes to designing and developing a website at Blumilk we take progressive enhance very seriously and bake it into the core of all of our websites, web applications and many other digital endeavours. With a vast array of devices on the market, as well as getting released on a yearly basis, making the content accessible as possible to all users is a must.
