Speaking
Talks and workshops
I’m available for conference talks, team workshops, webinars and podcasts. Each one is shaped around your audience, whether they build websites, design them or commission them.
Formats
Ways we can work together
-
Conference talks
Keynotes and sessions, sized to your programme, with slides that stay light enough to share afterwards.
-
Team workshops
Half or full days with designers and developers, working hands-on with your own website and its real numbers.
-
Webinars and podcasts
Remote, live or recorded. Conversations about the work, the books and what I’m learning.
Themes
What I talk about
-
1
Sustainable web design in practice
Page-weight budgets, images, fonts, JavaScript and hosting: what to change first, and how to measure it.
-
2
Accessibility and efficiency
Why WCAG 2.2 and lighter pages share the same foundation: semantic HTML and less that can go wrong.
-
3
Honest claims about digital sustainability
What the EU’s new rules on environmental claims mean for how digital teams describe their work.
-
4
The slow developer
Building software with intention in an industry that rewards speed.
These are starting points, not a fixed menu. Tell me about your audience and I’ll suggest an angle.
