If you're developer, you doubtlessly have been exposed to the complexities of creating solutions that can function across a wide range of platforms and consumers. Like us, you’ve probably turned to client-side technologies like Angular, React, Vue and Node to help solve these problems. Managing content in such a diverse environment can be a challenge, but one that a Headless CMS can thrive in.

Since day one, the Blueriver team has believed we were “making the web a better place” one project at a time. By eliminating distractions, reducing fear of failure and providing clear goals, our mission has always been to create Flow in the digital experience. It’s why we do what we do. Unfortunately, we didn’t understand the importance of adopting web accessibility (AX) earlier into our workflow, and the benefits in doing so. Quite simply, we misunderstood who really benefits from better web accessibility: everyone.

The future is here. The concepts of Headless CMS, and Content as a Service (CaaS), have moved from optional to imperative. Predicting where your users will access your content, be it mobile, a website, chat, voice (or whatever comes next), will become increasingly important, requiring you to come to the party prepared, solution in hand.

In our work, we spend a lot of time focusing on the digital experiences we create for our audiences. We do this because it provides a meaningful way to engage in a digital conversation that, hopefully, results in a mutually beneficial relationship for both the customer and the business.

It’s a fact - a lot of developers have a love/hate relationship with CSS. Awesome, right? But writing CSS can be both challenging and rewarding, as Blueriver’s Evan Dunham has learned first hand. While he now experiences more ups than downs when writing CSS, it hasn't always been that way. 

Being a professional developer means that your own skills are also constantly developing and evolving, as you expand your toolkit and learn new ways of solving problems.
