    Interior Design Website ADA Compliance

    On today's episode of The Kate Show, I'm sharing how to know if your website is ADA compliant, which items to fix first, and which popular aesthetic elements are putting your website at the most risk. I don't like fear-mongering, so this is more of a heads-up episode. We'll look at a few real court cases in which interior designers got in trouble for their websites' lack of compliance, and what their plaintiffs had in common. I'll also share the primary ways your website should be compliant and how to know if it's not. 🌟🌟 If you are ready for your ADA-friendly, SEO and AIO-powered website, go to www.katethesocialite.com/sitebuild 📌 Timestamps 0:00 Introduction 2:37 Understanding Website ADA Compliance 4:49 Determining Compliance and Real Lawsuits 8:02 Commonalities Among Plaintiffs 10:07 Tools for Checking Website Compliance 15:01 Risky Website Esthetics and Solutions 19:27 Example Accessibility Statements and Platform Comparisons 23:32 Final Thoughts and Recommendations

    Dear Me from 2014, we need to talk.

    I started my business in 2014 as a naïve college graduate and have learned so much since creating my LLC. Since I can't time-travel back to 2014 to share what I've learned with that raw, inexperienced version of myself, I'm sharing it today. ...Not because I'm "so wise" (ha! hardly), but because you might see your own experience in mine and feel seen and heard in what I'm sharing. And if you are new to running a business in the home industry, you might just appreciate the heads up. Resources Get time-saving marketing done for you at www.socialitevault.com.

    The REAL Reason We Don't Have Enough Time

    Screen time, success, and significance - yes, they are related.

  6. Tastemaker vs. Order Taker: Which one are you?

    JAN 26

    Tastemaker vs. Order Taker: Which one are you?

    Order takers get bullied by clients. Their clients ask for discounts, are late to pay, and see the professional (YOU) as their assistant rather than as their trusted professional. To make matters worse, as the order taker, you are naturally more focused on the sale rather than the client outcome. If you aren't intentionally branding yourself as a tastemaker, you are an order taker. In today's episode of the Kate Show, I'm exploring how you can uproot the order taker vibes and turn your home industry brand into one that gives tastemaker vibes. 📌 Timestamps 0:00 Introduction: Differentiating Between Tastemakers and Order Takers 4:21 Characteristics of Tastemakers 5:03 Building a Client-Focused Brand 9:49 Intentions and Strategies for Magnetic Appeal 14:33 Consistency and Niche Down 18:17 Words of Caution for Aspiring Interior Design Tastemakers 20:12 Frequently Asked Questions Music License: LAULU6U9GZG6TISP_Garden of the Fae
