Yet many websites are still tripping over the same avoidable accessibility mistakes—often because teams think they “passed a scan once” or assume the rules don’t apply to them.

In today’s competitive digital landscape, delivering personalized experiences has shifted from a “nice-to-have” to a business necessity.  Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), content personalization is one of the most powerful strategies to transform the customer journey.  By providing tailored experiences, businesses foster deeper connections with their audience and significantly increase engagement and conversion rates.

As businesses continue to expand their online presence, the importance of accessibility cannot be overstated. In Ontario, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) sets strict guidelines to ensure that websites and digital content are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. Understanding and adhering to these regulations is not just a moral obligation but a legal one, with severe penalties for non-compliance.

Choosing the right Content Management System (CMS) is one of the most critical decisions an organization can make when building or upgrading its website.  The CMS you select will influence everything from site security to scalability and SEO performance.  With so many options available, making the right choice can be overwhelming.  In this blog, we’ll guide you through the key considerations and introduce you to some of the top CMS platforms, including Orchard Core and Kentico, while discussing the risks associated with popular choices like WordPress.
