2 Dogs and a Laptop

When North Carolina gives you snow… you build a snowboard trail in your driveway. 🏂❄️

Snow days look a little different around here. While the dogs are loving it and I’m turning my driveway into a mini slope, websites are still getting designed, built, and launched.

At 2 Dogs and a Laptop, we know how to adapt—whether it’s a surprise snowstorm or a business that’s ready for a fresh, functional website. Remote work, creative problem-solving, and a little fun along the way are all part of the process.

Because great websites don’t stop for snow days (but they might take a slight pause for a little fun!)

Hope to see you all there! WP Accessibility Day 2025.

The official WP Accessibility Day 2025 t-shirt is here!

What started as a simple design idea turned into a team effort—from exploring the nuances of ASL lettering, to fine-tuning artwork, to making sure every detail (even the alt text!) was just right.

The result? A shirt that reflects the same kind of nuance and collaboration we strive for in accessibility work. Many hands, many perspectives, one shared goal.
