Spring is officially here, and while the warmer weather has many people breaking out their mops and dusters for some deep cleaning, we at Savas have been working hard to spruce up our inner selves instead.

March has been a month of reflection, with a strong focus on self-improvement. We've been spending time analyzing ways to enhance our work and elevate the quality of our products, all while making a conscious effort to tighten up and document our processes. By analyzing how we can do better, we believe that we can deliver even better experiences to our valued partners.

May this newsletter serve as a gentle reminder to prioritize your well-being and invest time in honing your skills. 🌻

💪 Featured work - Elevating a Growing SaaS Brand

After experiencing tremendous growth since its founding, RevBoss sought to elevate its brand identity to match its growing position in the marketplace. Working hand in hand with their team, we identified elements of the RevBoss brand that needed a refresh and outlined the organization's position within the competitive landscape. Once aligned on the vision, we produced an updated brand kit that served as the foundation for a sophisticated new website design. We then brought that new design to life in WordPress with a component-based editor experience to allow for the creation of flexible and customizable new pages.

📣 Client shoutout - Attain Data

Congratulations to our client partner, Attain Data, on the launch of their new website! 

Over the last couple of months, our goal was to design a professional and polished digital solution to showcase Attain Data's strengths and capabilities to potential clients. To accommodate their needs, we moved the old website from Webflow to WordPress, allowing their team to update and modify content. Built with scalability in mind, we're confident that the new website will serve Attain Data well for years to come.

A Developer's Guide to Achieving Accessibility for WordPress, Drupal, and Craft Websites

As developers, we cannot entirely rely on a CMS to address a site’s accessibility concerns. While some have built-in functionality that makes it easier to build accessible websites, not all do. As a result, developers must understand how to work around accessibility issues in order to create better websites for all users.
