If your website or socials are hard to read, you’re losing customers. 

In this episode, accessible web & brand designer Rachel Mess shows small-business owners exactly how to make their websites and content more inclusive so more people can actually buy from you.

We cover, in plain English:

• What “accessible web & brand design” means for small businesses
• The 3 biggest blockers hurting your conversions: colour contrast, too-small text, and missing alt text
• How screen readers work (and why “click here” links and label-less forms fail your users)
• Easy, fast wins you can DIY on Wix / Squarespace / WordPress
• Fonts, layout, and social posts that more people can read (and act on)

Why listen: Inclusive design isn’t just “nice to have” it’s good business and good basic humanness. Make your site easier to navigate, your content easier to read, and your offers easier to buy.
