Hello again, I hope you are doing well. <br /> <br /> When I first decided to start the Accessibility Advantage Podcast, I promised that I would be providing short 101 tutorials, sharing case studies of my clients, and hosting interviews with organization leaders who have embraced accessibility to their benefit. <br /> <br /> Today, I'm sharing my first 101 tutorial. <br /> <br /> It is about an aspect of accessibility that most people I talk to are still not familiar with. <br /> <br /> Today's Subject<br /> <br /> That is the fact that most adaptive technology users like myself do not have regular access to a mouse. <br /> <br /> Often, we are frustrated or even made angry by not being able to begin or complete an action online because an important button wasn't properly formatted. <br /> <br /> I hope that listening to this short lesson will encourage you to start designing your sites for keyboard access first. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Why Share These Tutorials?<br /> <br /> I have been educating people about accessibility since starting my first website brokering used amusement park & carnival equipment in 2007 when the lack of accessibility forced me to teach myself to code html in order to get my site online. <br /> <br /> Things are so much better now, but accessibility is still something left out by too many website designers or developers. <br /> <br /> I'm hoping that by sharing content like this you will see accessibility isn't so scary. <br /> <br /> And you will begin the process of improving accessibility on your own sites or advocating for the sites where you work to be made more inclusive. <br /> <br /> If you need help, I am here for you.

Hello again, I hope things are going well for you and your family. I mean this sincerely considering how many challenges we are all facing these days. <br /> <br /> I'm excited to finally be sharing my first interview on the new podcast that I announced over a year ago. <br /> <br /> Finally, after a broken laptop, a successful crowd funding campaign, and two major storms in the Houston area; here I am. <br /> <br /> And my first guest is a great business owner and gentleman Tyler King. <br /> <br /> He is the CEO of Less Annoying CRM<br /> <br /> What Is CRM?<br /> <br /> For those of you who do not know, CRM stands for customer or client relationship management. <br /> <br /> Their software, and other programs like it; help businesses keep track of the emails, phone calls, text messages, etc sent to clients during the course of doing business with someone. And they help remind you to follow up with those people. <br /> <br /> Theirs isn't the only CRM that is thought to be highly accessible for people with disabilities, but they are the one I found first and the one I like. <br /> <br /> What Will You Learn?<br /> <br /> In my interview with Tyler you will learn how they became interested in being more inclusive through the efforts of their employees, how they overcame their challenges by deciding to find solutions, and how they have benefitted from embracing inclusion of all people especially those with disabilities. <br /> <br /> We talked mostly about digital accessibility, but we also touched on inclusion in the work force and how they overcame the natural fear and overwhelm that is part of making a work place more inclusive of disabled people. <br /> <br /> I hope you check out the first episode of the podcast and decide to stick around by subscribing. <br /> <br /> Comments, ratings, and reviews are also very welcome. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> If you want to discuss making your products, services, or content more accessible, please send me an email.<br /> <br /> Thanks, Maxwell Maxwell Ivey full false 46:18
