At WSA, we are always busy with various projects and campaigns, and this week the Digital team has decided to share just what it is that has been keeping them busy within the agency and also share any interesting industry news that they’ve read up on .
Digital highlights from Austin Walters
Let’s kickstart with a strong and positive outlook on the past week from our Operations Director, Austin Walters: “Within the team, it continues to be fast-paced, hard work and challenging, but the ideas and the campaign results keep coming through. In the web and UX function, we’ve seen increases this week in requests for e-commerce, online booking solutions and multimedia. Off the back of several client projects that have been centred on online delivery of training and webinars, it looks like online activity is still being prioritised for many, with investment in e-commerce channels and digital services reflective of how the economy is edging towards re-opening, but retaining a tilt towards safer options including as online shopping and digital experiences .”
Web updates from WSA
Furthermore in the web department, our Senior Front-End developer, WSA shares industry news that she’s most excited for . “The second major WordPress update of the year, WordPress 5.5, is coming! This will include new features and improvements in the block editor, UI improvements, default WordPress XML sitemaps, a new block directory and much much more. Gutenberg was a big update for WordPress back in 2018 and we had to change our ways of working to adapt and make sure our clients were still getting the best solution for their websites, so hopefully, this new update will give us even more flexibility in what we can achieve for our clients!”
