hehe, great question! Perhaps invert the colours, using a dark background. That would be an easy win. Beyond that, you aren’t using many images so it depends on the technology behind it, but darker colours could be a good start. ---

I am considering using WordPress multisite more, to spare on WP installations and updates. Have you experimented with that? (Sorry for the WP question! ;-)) ---

Yes, we use multisite a lot. It is hard to quantify the efficiency, but having a single WordPress installation makes sense if the sites are similar, and also trying to use the same plugins on each sub-site means that they are only installed once. ---

I have come from a live events background so very fascinated to learn more about this topic within the digital world. Thank you! Hannah ---
