Designers Learn Code is a collective of web designers that choose to learn coding despite all the low code and no code solutions out there because we know it makes us better designers able to build custom web solutions for our clients.
We build to the highest standards with accessibility and user-centric experience in mind.
We want what we build to be accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities that may need to use special technology to access the web.
Only 3% of websites are built with accessibility in mind in the U.S. as of 2022. We commit to being part of the solution and not contribute to the problem.
