Nerding out for future

To us, what impact our work has and how and at what “cost” it is achieved are equally important. Do our solutions solve real problems? Are they accessible and valuable for as many different groups as possible? Do they help to promote an open, democratic society? Do they only use as many resources and energy as are necessary?

So far, so straightforward. But what is this blog actually about?

Quite simply, a significant proportion of our projects take place in the digital space - in other words, we design products and services for the web. Sadly, we have been observing multiple unpleasant trends and problems here for a long time.

TRENDS HERE

As a purpose-driven design studio, we naturally want to do things better – which, unfortunately, hasn’t always worked out as well as it should in the past.

That’s why we started this blog. To learn and show how it can be done “better” – in a public self-experiment.

To be clear, these are very humble beginnings of a potentially long journey, especially since it’s been about a decade since I last worked with code in any “professional” capacity.

But the plan is to iteratively build whatever “this thing” is now into a proper website where we can …

• share interesting articles and resources around issues, trends and best practices across the fields of sustainable web design, accessibility and the open web in general

• directly put them into action by implementing them on this very website – and sharing how we did it (or failed)

If that sounds interesting and like the right level of “nerdy” to you, I’d very much invite you to join this journey and
