Oct 22 Digital Accessibility: What, Why + How with Caitlin from Caitie Means Business

Today, I’m joined by web designer Caitlin of Caitie Means Business, who specializes in creating websites that not only look great but are also digitally accessible. We dive into the world of digital accessibility, discussing what it even is, and why it’s crucial for businesses to ensure their websites and content are easy to use for as many people as possible.

Caitlin works with service-based businesses to design websites and booking systems that are not only beautiful but inclusive and easy to use for all. With a background in education, Caitlin’s passion for accessibility has shaped her approach to web design, ensuring her clients’ businesses are welcoming and functional for a diverse audience.

Whether you’re new to digital accessibility or looking to improve your site, Caitlin’s insights will help you make your business more welcoming and user-friendly to a wider audience. Plus, Caitlin shares why pursuing accessibility is not only ethical but also smart business.
