I had a fascinating chat with accessibility advisor Maxwell Ivey. You likely know him as The Blind Blogger, a serial entrepreneur making waves in online business for over 15 years. In this interview, Maxwell shares tangible tips for how small business owners can tap into the power of accessibility and inclusion to grow their customer base. Here's what you'll learn: Why designing for accessibility benefits ALL users, not just those with disabilities How to leverage a huge, dedicated market of disability consumers Simple ways to implement accessibility on digital platforms An overview of common adaptive technologies and how to optimize for them A free offer to review your website homepage and provide feedback! Maxwell brings a rare empathetic voice to the accessibility conversation. He focuses on progress over perfection, meeting you where you are with sincere support. I loved his perspective on moving the needle through communication over compliance. So if you're a small business owner looking to expand your reach in an authentic way - have a listen!   #AccessibleBusinessGrowth #InclusiveEntrepreneurship #DisabilityInclusion #AccessibilityAdvantage #SmallBusinessAccessibility #InclusiveBusinessPractices #AccessibleOnlineContent #DisabilityAwareness #BusinessInclusion #AccessibleMarketingStrategy
