You're managing deadlines in game development. How can you stay organized?
Recognizing and rewarding the hard work of your team is incredibly important for maintaining motivation and morale, especially in the fast-paced world of web development. At Layers, we prioritize celebrating achievements, whether it’s hitting project milestones or launching a particularly challenging website. From team lunches to trips to the local Art Galleries, and even spontaneous coffee breaks, these small gestures go a long way in fostering a positive and productive work environment. It’s not only about preventing burnout. It’s about showing appreciation for the dedication and creativity that each team member brings to the table.

How can you design color-blind-friendly websites?
It's not just about aesthetics. It’s about ensuring accessibility for all users. Implementing high contrast colours, using clear labeling, and avoiding reliance on color alone for conveying information are key. By prioritizing inclusivity in our design & coding practices, we empower users of all abilities to engage fully with the digital ecosystem. Let's write code that doesn't just run well, but also opens doors to all users!
