📨 Is Your Business Email Protected?
Many businesses assume their email is secure because it's hosted on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. In reality, your domain still needs proper authentication to protect against spoofing, phishing, and poor email deliverability.
Here are three essentials every business should have:
✅ SPF – Authorizes trusted mail servers to send emails on behalf of your domain.
✅ DKIM – Digitally signs outgoing emails to verify they haven't been altered.
✅ DMARC – Tells receiving mail servers how to handle unauthenticated emails while providing valuable reporting.
These three records not only strengthen your email security but also improve the chances of your emails reaching the inbox instead of the spam folder.
A properly configured email system is one of the simplest ways to improve trust, security, and communication with your customers.

Whenever I feel stuck I end up tinkering with my website. This week's victim: my newly redesigned contact page featuring a framer university component I adapted for behuman and loved so much I needed it on my own site.
I've always used browser based email apps and hate accidentally clicking on an email to find its opened a system default mail app I never use and don't even have set up. I think this is such a genius improvement on an established (dare I say outdated?) UX pattern.
Which camp do you fall into? Copy the email address and paste it where you want or click to open the system default?
