Let's dive in!

Without a doubt, when you think of a company you love, one of the
key components is most likely a great support team. For me, the
way a company handles a support request can make or break my
opinion of the company. Luckily, Shopify brought together a panel
of experts to give their opinions on how to improve support for
your application. Tips range from automation to product ownership
and can greatly assist coming into the end of the year.

Many website users have disabilities or impairments that limit
the way they interact with a website and it is important to
consider as many of these use cases as possible. One such case is
accessibility for blind users. A post yesterday on the DEV
community listed 5 annoying website features for blind people,
which include image descriptions, heading structure, and more.
Check it out and make sure to consider these issues when building
your next project.

To continue on the accessibility route, there are many components
of website design that us as developers only see through our
lens. This is why it is important to research accessibility and
solutions, but it can be hard to sift through all the
information. Another post yesterday on the DEV community outlined
some more considerations for web accessibility and also some
tools to help. Make sure to add some of these tools to your
design and development workflow if you haven't already.
