accessiBe: Optimize for Accessibility Using AI Technology

Improving a website for accessibility is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. It’s not only required by law but also, as a web designer, it’s your job to make sure websites are accessible to everyone, including for people with disabilities.

We’ve even installed accessiBe on our own site to see how it works. Keep reading to see it in action!

Spline: Easily Create 3D Experiences for the Web

In the past couple of years, we’ve been seeing a rising trend in the web design industry which involved adding interactive 3D elements in websites.

While this trend allowed brands and businesses to create unique web experiences that helped them to stand out from the crowd, most of the time it was only utilized by big corporations. Mainly because creating 3D web experiences used to be limited, expensive, and, worst of all, they were very time-consuming.

In this post, we highlight what Spline can really do and how it will change the way you design websites in the near future.
