It's important that everyone can use the internet and that we build websites/apps with flexibility so that everyone can take advantage of them. Have you considered accessibility for your sites?

By accessibility, do you mean how they can view it with their devices?

View and use. So someone that is using a screen reader would be able to easily navigate your site. Someone that can't use a mouse would be able to use a keyboard to navigate the site etc.
 
Yeah, that's something of value now, since not everyone can afford a computer or just want to use their tablets in bed to log in and stuff.

ookay, hrmmm, I don't think my site is very friendly in that regards. I'll have to look into that, mostly for my future self.

The basics are there although you would still fail the WCAG guidelines. XenForo has done the basics so we don't have to thankfully like keyboard navigation and focus indicators.
 
Yeah, it's very important cause maybe half or more people are on mobiles. For instance, with MyBB, the default theme is not mobile friendly - so I had to get a mobile friendly theme. Anyway, a lot of mobile friendly themes are free at least.
 
Friendly approved :) always has been since the start, LOve IPB :) always had that from the start that works with all devices and killed tapatalk :p

Since last year they no do iOS & Android app that's build into the ACP :)

My site uses Xenforo so to a certain degree it's already taken care of, but I'm sure theres a good bit of my custom themes which aren't very "friendly".

It's the same with the themes over here at DH. My next big focus is to get an accessible theme sorted out because the current ones we have are not great at all.
