What is cool, sexy and hot in the world of design for digital and web.
Multiple times in Web Development you will go through the process of creating a new repository for a new application or project that you are tasked to build. We think it is really important to get the order of tasks correct at the start of a new application…
Things we learnt by creating highly accessible website designs for the NHS & university sectors. Recent pitches and web briefs have put accessibility high on their list of needs, which is a great sign. However accessibility, just like GDPR, needs to be taken in context…
Or not of course. An evaluation tool for any marketing creative piece – a poster, a website, a flyer, a brand. Most of all a piece of SEO copywriting.
You may have noticed, or perhaps not, that we have no cookie consent popups on our site. We, as designers and web practitioners, have some real problems with those annoying cookie popups. And we are not alone…
DIVI for Wordpress. Load Alt tags in Divi directly from the Media Library, pull alt tags in automatically even when these are added or changed from the Wordpress Media Library.
So here it is – 2021. A year of lockdowns, mockdowns and a really big one in terms of workload, projects and dare we say success.
It is our designer Anna’s last week here at Practically, and she was made to do a show and tell of her time with us. We thought it was rather cool that, firstly, she created it as a web page, and secondly the way she represented her time here. Enjoy!

Some of the many infographics we created for HiP Property, showing the state of ICOs and competitors. Complicated but fun these did really well in the campaigns we ran based around them.

We have been busy creating a series of banners for The Football Association (The FA) to promote all sorts of things, from upcoming games to the joining of the supporters club. This has been a great opportunity to debate the pros and cons of the HTML5 Banner.
