It’s a tough time to be a web marketer.
In just a few months, change has dominated how web content is discovered and consumed. For years, the pipeline for organic traffic was simple: you run a search on one of the major providers, like Google, you take a look at the top few results, and you click the one that seems best.

I’ve been building websites in content management systems for almost 20 years now. And the majority of those sites have been built in what we might call a traditional, coupled CMS, where a single application is responsible for both the management and rendering of content. But like so many, I’ve been diving to headless, specifically building a new site in Optimizely’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) headless offering.

When it comes to our children, even the smallest health concern can feel overwhelming. A lingering cough becomes a source of panic. A late-night fever turns into a frantic search for answers. In those moments, clarity and reassurance matter more than ever. But too often, the first point of contact — a hospital’s website — adds more confusion than comfort.

Designing a website for a children's hospital is unlike any other UX challenge. It’s not about selling a product or promoting a service; it's about providing care and support in a time of crisis.

Web accessibility isn’t just a checkbox — it’s a commitment to inclusive, thoughtful design. As more of our lives move online, making the web accessible to all users is no longer optional. It’s essential.

It doesn’t matter how fast you move or how much you plan; websites accumulate technical debt.
