Two months after WordCamp Europe, Tammie Lister's Human in the Loop is still influencing our thinking. It's helping shape how we're approaching AI for charities, third sector and mission-led organisations. We've written about why it matters. 🔗 www.pooka.co/ai-for-chari...
Translation is only the beginning. Great #multilingual #websitedesign considers culture, #accessibility and the people using it, not just the words on the page. Our latest blog explores why human-centred design makes all the difference. 🌍 www.pooka.co/multilingual...
We're proud to share the newly redeveloped website for the Screen Machine. 🎬 Working alongside the team, we refreshed the site in WordPress and integrated CiviCRM to support fundraising, communications and the next chapter of this much-loved mobile cinema. www.pooka.co/introducing-...
Digital tourism is about so much more than promoting destinations, it's about creating brilliant visitor experiences from the very first click. 📸 We've also shared three photos from some of Sian's recent adventures. Can you guess where they were taken? 👉 www.pooka.co/digital-tour...
The biggest takeaway from @cern.bsky.social's move to @wordpress.org wasn't the technology. It was the thinking behind it. Build systems that people can actually use. Reduce complexity. Create confidence. 🔗 www.pooka.co/cerns-chose-... @wceurope.bsky.social
Everyone has access to #AI now. That's not the advantage anymore. Knowing your audience. Having an opinion. Sounding like yourself. That's where the magic still is. A few thoughts after one of my favourite talks from #WCEU 👇 www.pooka.co/ai-wont-save...

“A website is almost a living thing.” 🌱 Couldn’t agree more. At #WCEurope we sat down with Robert Abela from @melapress.bsky.social to talk about creating websites that evolve, grow & keep working long after launch day. Watch our chat 🎥👇 www.pooka.co/wordpress-we...

Back from Krakow after an inspiring @wceurope.bsky.social 2026. We arrived with questions about #AI and the future of the web. We left reassured. Innovation should never lose sight of who it’s actually for. People 🐰 www.pooka.co/wordcamp-eur...
Human in the Loop: What WordCamp Europe 2026 Reminded Us About AI, Open Source and the Future of the Web - Pooka & Co

We’re excited to head out to @wceurope.bsky.social this week to see the latest in digital. But not gonna lie, it’s nice to go the opposite direction and break out the Pantone books for a client first of all! #oldschool #newschool #offline #online #wceu
💛 This #VolunteersWeek we're celebrating the people behind so many good causes, and reflecting on how thoughtful digital tools can help organisations support, engage and stay connected with their volunteers. Because good digital is really about people. 🔗https://www.pooka.co/volunteer-management/
We get asked to take over existing WordPress websites from time to time. The surprising thing? The answer is often no. Not because we don't want to help, but because inherited websites can hide years of technical debt beneath the surface. A new blog from Marcus 👇 www.pooka.co/wordpress-we...
Conference season is here! 🎉 The Pooka & Co team will be out & about in June, representing our little agency at WordCamp Europe & CiviBRM. If you’re heading to Krakow or Birmingham, come & say hello 👋 #WordCampEU #CiviCRM
