    The Business Case for Web Accessibility

    If you’re in marketing, you’ve probably heard people talk about how your website needs to comply with ADA standards. Web accessibility isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a practice that everyone in the marketing world should follow—for their websites, social media, and all marketing. To be blunt, making your content more accessible can be an investment. Many businesses have put it off, thinking that it doesn’t really “apply” to them. That’s not the case. Providing an excellent experience for all of your customers is incredibly important. And yet, I understand that you have to go to your boss and get the budget to transform your website and invest in new processes. In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the business case for web accessibility, including: What web accessibility isWhy web accessibility matters to your businessThe cost of getting accessibleMaking it a priorityMENTIONED RESOURCES: FREE RESOURCE: Create Accessible Content Follow me on Instagram: @captaincoder

    6 Pages Your Website Needs

    For a business like yours, your website is your storefront, pitch, and even the gateway to building trust with potential clients. I’ve been building websites for decades, but distilling an entire business into just a few pages is hard. You want your potential customers to be able to learn enough about your business that they know who they might be working with, make it easy for them to reach out and start a relationship, and get steady new traffic from Google. How can you possibly organize all of that information? In this guide, we’ll dive into the six essential website pages you need to craft a compelling online presence. We'll explore how each page contributes to attracting, educating, and converting leads, ultimately turning website visitors into loyal customers.

    Why a Custom WordPress Website Pays Off

    Imagine a website that perfectly integrates with your marketing strategy and drives more leads. Does that feel impossible? It can be hard, especially when today’s trend seems to be cookie-cutter themes and everyone’s websites look the same. But what your website looks like matters. According to Stanford University, 75% of people judge a company's credibility based on its website's design. Do you want to risk your reputation and sales because you took a shortcut with a popular template? I didn’t think so. Ditch the theme everyone else is using. A custom WordPress website is an investment that delivers significant ROI through improved SEO, web accessibility, flexibility, security, and a unique brand experience. In this post, we’ll cover: The ROI of a custom WordPress website How its advanced security protects your brand and customers And the power of a unique online presence FREE RESOURCE: Create accessible content easily Follow me on Instagram: @captaincoder

    AI-Powered Marketing: Human Touch Included

    AI has made it easy to add some personalization to our marketing, be more efficient (which is great when you’re a one-person team), and create content far more quickly than we might have been used to. But how do we use AI and still keep that human touch? I’m not sure there will ever be a day that our use of AI doesn’t need oversight. After all, it’s only as good as the people training it. That can lead to biases, misunderstandings, and false information (or as Chat GPT calls them, “hallucinations.”) Let’s break down how you can use AI to make your life easier but use it responsibly.

    Improve Web Accessibility: 5 Steps To Follow When Creating Content

    Can everyone use your website and the content you create, or are you excluding up to 27% of your audience? When you focus on creating content that all people can access, regardless of their abilities, you’re working to improve your web accessibility. On the flip side, when you don’t follow some basic best practices, you’re not just excluding potential customers; you’re putting your business at legal risk. Just a chilling fact for you - there were thousands of lawsuits filed against website owners last year for accessibility issues. How can you improve your web accessibility and ensure your content is user-friendly every time (and get that lawsuit target off your back)? The sad reality is that it’s a pretty simple process to make vast improvements to your website accessibility, and yet it gets neglected far too often. Let’s break down five steps you should take when creating content for your website.

    5 Ways to Boost Customer Retention and Drive Repeat Business

    Have you heard this lately: “We need more leads.”  In marketing, we often focus on getting new leads and customers into your business, but what about the leads you already have? It’s time to think about boosting your customer retention and bringing them back over and over again. Keeping happy customers is the best way to grow a business. Repeat customers spend an average of 67% more than new customers and it’s five times more expensive to get new customers than it is to retain the ones we have. So why aren’t we taking care of our customers and selling them more? Let’s break down five strategies you can implement in your business to cultivate customer loyalty.
