Blue Beanie Day 2016

November 30, 2016Development

Today is Blue Beanie Day, and at TPGi we’ve put on our blue hats to show our commitment to web standards and a web for everyone.

We believe web standards are our best hope for a web that is open, progressive and accessible, and we encourage designers and developers to take pride in creating technologies that are lean, resilient and usable by everyone.
