In the leadup to our Responsive Web Design focussed event, Respond, in Sydney and Melbourne in April 2016, and as part of a special new project we’ll be announcing at the conference, we’ve been speaking with some of our speakers, and getting to know them a little better.

We’ve featured a significant number of presentations on the topic, including two stellar ones in 2015, at Web Directions Code and at Web Directions itself. Today we feature one of those, by the awesome Rachel Nabors, ‘The […]

Why Transform? When we started what became Web Directions back in 2004, many of the attendees of our […]
Tom Loosemore, the closing Keynote speaker at Web Directions 2015 (so officially the last ever speaker at an event called Web Directions–no, we’re not going away, we’ve just refreshed and rebooted things), thoroughly engaged and inspired our audience, with his presentation on how a nation bold enough to invest in new, natively digital foundations can […]
