Wrapping your head around Global Accessibility Awareness Day

On May 19, 2022 we're highlighting Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). Here's what you should know about it and more!

Accordion component: code fix brings better UX for authors

Some of AEM’s components have quirky personalities. You’ve probably noticed that when you work with certain components (Accordions, Box, Column control), your AEM page jumps around for a few seconds to reset itself. This jumping (page reset) behaviour can affect your efficiency and productivity (and is sometimes annoying because you can lose your place on the page while working). But for accordions this is no longer the case thanks to the latest code update. Now you can add and edit accordions without the page reset.   


Campaign for Concordia

Concordia’s Case for Support was recently updated and needed a brand-new digital look to go with it. The site is now lighter, with fewer child pages and an emphasis on top-level pages that better showcase the campaign’s priorities, objectives and impact.
