Retailers in the UK could be missing out on online sales estimated at £17.1 billion a year, according to research.
Due to poor accessibility, 69% of people with disabilities end up clicking away from sites that they find difficult to use.
Which sucks for you, and for customers who want to buy what you’re selling - because it’s just not easy enough for them to do so.
So, before you gear up for the festive season, take a pause.
Is your marketing accessible for all of your potential customers?
As a copywriter, I was very comfortable writing the words on my website. Designing it, though? That's a whole other story. After spending two years frustrated with my self-build, spending hours trying to fix glitches, and cringing at the design, I knew it was time to call in a professional - and Rachel was the first person I thought of.
After seeing Rachel's very useful LinkedIn posts about website accessibility, I jumped at the chance for her to review my website. On the call, she ran through what was and wasn't accessible on my site and helped me to see some easy changes I could make. If you're interested in making your site more accessible, I highly recommend getting Rachel's valuable help.
Rachel was so professional and approachable throughout working together on the website for my small podiatry business. As a healthcare professional, tech isn't my strong suit, and Rachel not only knows her stuff, but can explain it in a way that even I can wrap my head around! She also brought in some personal flair whilst designing the site, and nothing was too much trouble.
