How to Build a World-Class GA4 Setup, Part 1: Foundations & the Measurement Plan
A world-class GA4 setup is not a maximal feature set. It is a correct, closed revenue loop plus an honest account of its own limits. This first article builds the mental model — GA4 as one event with parameters — and the plan: a maturity model that grades correctness over feature count, and a disciplined event taxonomy and dimension registry.

How to Build a World-Class GA4 Setup, Part 2: Correct Collection — Audit, Server-Side & Conversions
A GA4 property can pass every check it can run on itself and still miss the leads it exists to count.

How to Build a World-Class GA4 Setup, Part 3: Activate & Govern — the Revenue Loop, Consent & Scale

The business case for web accessibility
Web accessibility is the practice of building websites that work regardless of how a visitor sees, hears, or operates them. The case for it is arithmetic: more than 1 in 4 U.S. adults report a disability, plaintiffs filed over 5,000 digital accessibility lawsuits in 2025, and the fixes overlap with the SEO and performance work on your roadmap.
