Something’s been bugging me since…oh about 1998. It’s the “Click Here” link. At first glance, these two words seem innocuous and even somewhat informative but I’m here to tell you that they’re not. There are several excellent reasons to ban them (when used together) from your website vocabulary.
I was recently asked to evaluate the accessibility of a website for that most American of reasons, threat of a lawsuit. It seems that there is something of a cottage industry in filing lawsuits against website owners based on the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). The theory, which some courts have upheld, is that websites … Read more
We all know that faster is better but how fast is fast enough? The unsatisfying, squishy answer is, as fast as you can make it without sacrificing the user experience. If you want a number from Google, they want to see page load times of 2 seconds or less, which is a lot faster than … Read more

Everything from editing pages and posts, to managing plugins and themes, is handled from this area. Because it’s all-powerful, protecting access to this area is critical to the well being of your website. … Read more
