“Design decisions lay the foundation for accessibility. Baking inclusive practices into the visual language, from colour contrast to interaction patterns, is the fastest and very least expensive time to do it.”

“If WordPress is robust enough to meet CERN’s security, accessibility, and scalability standards, it’s more than ready for enterprise use across industries—from education and healthcare to government and media.”
Trew Knowledge@trewknowledge.com · last yr.🚀 CERN—birthplace of the World Wide Web—just migrated 1,000+ sites from Drupal to #WordPress. Their reason? "Empowerment through simplicity."
