Pushing Pixels

Often when building websites, our units of measure are “pages”. It’s time to get more granular! Not every pixel on a page has the same importance. Content elements need deliberate prioritisation rather than trying to make the whole page fast. Let’s pull the idea of a “page” apart and explore a design and development pipeline that focuses on islands of content. How do we design, build and monitor the performance of our content islands?
