## 📰 — Figma & Tech Bytes

- [**Figma Sites now uses semantic tags**](https://www.figma.com/release-notes/?title=accessibility-updates) like <button> and <a>, improves keyboard navigation, auto-wraps text in <p> tags, skips background images in screen readers, and fixes span issues in text blocks.

- At Config 2025,** **[**Figma announced powerful updates**](https://www.figma.com/release-notes/?title=config-2025) including Figma Draw for freeform visual design, Grid for responsive layouts, Figma Buzz for brand asset creation at scale, Figma Sites for website building, and Figma Make to turn prompts into working web prototypes—all aimed at faster, smarter workflows.

- [**Sticky Header Effects (SHe)**](https://stickyheadereffects.com/) plugin is now part of POSIMYTH Innovations, known for features like shrink headers, background transitions, transparent headers, and logo color change—enhancing scroll-based interactions in Elementor.

- [**WordPress 6.8.1 Maintenance Release Now Available**](https://wordpress.org/news/2025/04/wordpress-6-8-1-maintenance-release/), fixing 15 bugs across the Core and Block Editor. This update addresses issues in multisite, the REST API, and block editing.

- **WooCommerce has partnered with Square** as its preferred solution for in-person payments, enabling seamless syncing of inventory, orders, and customer data across online and offline stores.

- [**WooCommerce 9.8.3 is now available**](https://developer.woocommerce.com/2025/04/30/woocommerce-9-8-3-dot-release/), fixing issues with scheduled actions for product transients and postcode field validation in the Checkout block.

- [**Google has lowered the minimum size for Customer Match**](https://searchengineland.com/google-slashes-customer-match-list-minimums-in-search-campaigns-to-100-users-455912) lists in Search campaigns from 1,000 to just 100 users. This change allows smaller advertisers to access advanced audience targeting capabilities that were previously limited to larger accounts.

- [**Google asserts that its AI-powered search**](https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-claims-ai-search-delivers-quality-clicks-despite-traffic-loss/547401/) generates more “qualified clicks,” even as many publishers report declines in website traffic. However, publishers have no access to data to verify these claims, and while organic traffic is down, ad performance reportedly remains stable.

- [**Google has rolled out Smart Bidding Exploration**](https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-announces-largest-ads-bidding-update-in-over-a-decade/547249/), its biggest bidding update in over 10 years. This feature helps advertisers discover untapped conversions by expanding eligible queries—without requiring changes to audience targeting.
