On May 16, 2024, we celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)—a day dedicated to promoting digital accessibility and inclusion for the over 1 billion people worldwide living with disabilities.
GAAD is about taking a step back to recognise the importance of making technology accessible to everyone. It's a call to action for tech professionals, designers, developers, and organisations to prioritise inclusivity in their digital products and services.
Accessibility is not a feature; it's a right.
Accessibility compliance shouldn’t be a by-the-book box ticking exercise, but a fundamental understanding of what obstacles people might encounter and how to communicate and inform via text, media and data in formats accessible for everyone.
At Sparks Interactive we aim to ensure that our websites, applications, and digital tools are usable by people with varying abilities. Accessible design is essential for fostering a more inclusive and equitable digital world, and the Sector Drupal Distribution is built with accessibility in mind.

If you're updating your site from Sector 9 to Sector 10, you'll need to move to the latest version of CKEditor (this is commonly used for adding content in the 'body' field).
With Sector 10 knocking on the door, we’d like to introduce you to the new frontend theme it will ship with. The new Sector Starter Theme uses Tailwind - a utility-first CSS framework that lets you rapidly build modern websites.
Design systems can streamline your design and build processes. Adding Figma into the mix will foster collaboration and turn your design system into an indispensable tool in creating exceptional products.
DrupalSouth, the Drupal conference for Australia and New Zealand, is being held in Wellington this May - and the Sector team can't wait to see you there.
You don't need to constantly churn out content in order to have a blog on your website - as long as you have something useful and interesting to say, and can commit to a regular content schedule, it's a worthwhile venture.
March is off to a speedy start - with our first release of Sector 9 coming earlier this month. As promised in our Sector 9 roadmap, Sector 9 is here and ready for production use!
