We’re participating in Buffer Commit 2026.

Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be building a native GTK desktop app for Linux that connects with Buffer and helps make scheduling social media posts a little easier from the desktop.

It’s a fun excuse to build something outside the usual client work, experiment with the Buffer API, and turn a workflow I already use into a real application.

You can learn more about the contest here:

Build an app or integration on the Buffer API between October 28 and November 13. Up to 16 winning builds split 10% of Buffer’s August 2026 net profit.

Launching a website is not the end of the job.

Regular maintenance helps keep a site secure, stable, and working as expected. That includes software updates, backups, security checks, content reviews, performance monitoring, and fixing small issues before they become larger ones.

This week's resource covers the maintenance basics every website owner should understand.

Website maintenance prevents security issues and performance drift. Learn practical routines: updates, backups, monitoring, content hygiene, and support planning.

The new Barnesville Area Education Foundation website gives the organization a clearer, more modern place to share its mission, programs, scholarship information, and community impact.

For nonprofits and local foundations, a good website should make it easy for visitors to understand the work being done and find the information they need without unnecessary friction.

A strong foundation also makes the site easier to maintain and expand as the organization grows.

Website security does not start and end with installing a security plugin.

Keeping a site protected involves strong passwords, software updates, reliable backups, secure hosting, limited user access, HTTPS, and paying attention to the systems surrounding the website itself.

No website can be made completely risk-free, but good security practices can significantly reduce unnecessary exposure.

This week's resource covers practical steps businesses and organizations can take to protect their websites.

Learn the essentials of website security: updates, passwords, backups, SSL, hosting hygiene, and monitoring. Practical guidance to reduce risk without complexity.

Healthcare websites need to feel approachable while making important information easy to find.

The Just Smiles Family Dentistry website gives patients a clear online place to learn about the practice, explore services, find office information, and take the next step toward an appointment.

For a local practice, the website often shapes a patient's first impression before they ever walk through the door. Clear organization, responsive design, and an inviting experience all help build confidence from that first visit.

How fast should a website actually be?

There is no single number that tells the whole story, but visitors should not be left waiting while oversized images, unnecessary scripts, or bloated code slow everything down.

Good performance comes from the entire foundation: efficient code, optimized images, sensible use of scripts, good hosting, caching, and layouts that respond quickly across devices.

This week’s resource article looks at the performance standards that matter and what website owners should pay attention to.

Website speed affects SEO, trust, and conversions. Learn realistic performance targets, what slows sites down, and how to improve speed sustainably.

Historical and research organizations often have a lot of information to organize, and that makes clear website structure especially important.

The Belmont County Genealogical Society website provides a more accessible online home for local history, research resources, society information, and materials that help people explore their Belmont County roots.

For organizations with deep archives and specialized content, the goal is not just to put information online. It is to make that information easier to discover and use.

Website accessibility is about making sure more people can actually use your site.

That includes readable text, strong contrast, clear headings, keyboard-friendly navigation, understandable links and forms, and layouts that work across different devices and assistive technologies.

Accessibility is especially important for businesses and public-facing organizations, but many of the same practices simply make websites easier for everyone to use.

This week’s resource article covers the basics.

A business with multiple locations needs a website that makes it easy for customers to understand services, find the right location, and take the next step.

The Rumer-Loudin website supports three locations across Ohio and West Virginia, with a structure built around service information, local visibility, reviews, and online booking.

It is also a good example of why long-term website structure matters. A well-built site should be able to grow with the business instead of becoming harder to manage over time.

Your website should work for the people who actually use it.

That means more than looking good. It should load quickly, work well on phones and larger screens, organize information clearly, support accessibility, and be built on a foundation that can be maintained as your needs change.

10T Web Design builds custom websites from scratch for businesses, nonprofits, public agencies, and organizations throughout Eastern Ohio, the Upper Ohio Valley, and beyond.
