Beyond Aesthetics: The New Role of Accessibility in Modern Web Design

Web design used to be a simple process.

Pick a colour scheme, choose a font, add some flair, and voilà!

Now, having a visually appealing website is irrelevant if the user finds it difficult to navigate. In fact, it can even push the user away from your brand.

This is where accessibility comes into play, and it is changing the way digital marketing teams create and manage websites.

Accessibility is no longer an option; it is an essential part of how consumers see your brand and ultimately decide to engage or disengage. Read More

Designing for AI Users: How to Build Websites That Talk to Machines Too

Websites should be made for both human visitors and AI systems.

However, these two visitors have different ways of browsing a website.

Human visitors scroll through the screen, are distracted by video clips and ads, and may or may not have the patience to wait for a large image to load before reading the content below it.

In contrast, AI systems don’t “scroll” through a website in the same way.

They are not looking for eye-catching videos or engaging images. Read More

While some might say it’s a little too easy, this shift has been developing for many years.

This year is simply the point when it went from a “niche helpful tool” to a “must-have” for businesses. As a business, no-code is not something you should sit back and watch as a spectator. Read More

Creating Effective Call-to-Actions That Actually Convert

You’ve built a beautiful website. Traffic is coming in. People are reading your content, scrolling through your pages, and maybe even nodding along with what you’re saying. But then they leave. Just like that. Gone.

Does this sound familiar?

Here’s the thing – having a beautiful website means absolutely nothing if visitors don’t take action. That is where most businesses totally miss the point. They spend thousands on web design (often working with professional teams like ours at Slinky Web Design) but then treat their call-to-actions like an afterthought. It’s comparable to buying a Ferrari and forgetting to put petrol in it.

Let’s fix that. Read More

CDN vs Traditional Hosting: When Your Website Needs the Speed Boost

Remember the last time you clicked on a website and waited. That’s right. You sat there for a few seconds before giving up, just like everyone else does. I can almost guarantee that business lost not only your visit but probably hundreds of others that same day.

Developers do not obsess over website speed as a technical metric. It is the thin line between a visitor turning into a customer or bouncing off to your competitor. That is where this whole CDN versus traditional hosting conversation becomes more than just tech jargon. Read More
