Quick #tip for anyone doing #WebDevelopment for #Business: *Always* check what sites look like with #Javascript turned off! ๐Ÿ‘

I just saw one with a business tracker which - Because I have JS off - Suggested the company hadn't done any satisfactory business in 10+ years! ๐Ÿ˜ณ

๐Ÿงต
In this case the tracker counts satisfied customers, completed projects and metres of material produced, all defaulted to zero and updated by the JS. ๐Ÿ“ฅ

Because JS wasn't running the zero defaults were shown instead, and this definitely isn't a good look for the company! ๐Ÿข๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ˜ณ
Although JS is commonplace, it should never be relied upon for #MissionCritical things. In todays resource-scarce climate every little must be conserved, and for some of us that even extends to blocking JS - Which is also a valid #Security measure. Especially for Govt users!
The key take-home is to make sure your sites work acceptably if JS isn't available, and remember not every potential client may be using an up-to-date computer! ๐Ÿ’ป

Just imagine missing a BIG #Contract after a potential client finds you on Google, but that issue puts them off! โš ๏ธ
