Most business owners don't realise that 20-30% of website visitors struggle to use their sites due to accessibility barriers. This episode reveals how web accessibility isn't just about compliance—it's a strategic advantage that reaches more customers and improves your bottom line.

Warren Wilansky, Founder of Plank Digital Agency with 25+ years experience, shares how one client saw donations increase by 100-200% after implementing accessible design principles. The surprising part? Building accessibility into your website from the planning stage costs roughly the same as a standard website.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why 20-30% of internet users face accessibility challenges (including everyone over 50)
• Common accessibility barriers and simple fixes for business websites
• The Ethical Web Collective framework: accessibility, privacy, security, responsible development, and environmental impact
• Three immediate, low-cost improvements you can make today
• How to test your website using Google Lighthouse (free tool)
• Why image optimisation helps both accessibility and the environment
• The surprising environmental impact of websites and AI

Warren explains that accessibility works like building a ramp during house construction rather than retrofitting later—it's part of the process when done properly. He recommends starting with three simple changes: optimise images (reduce file sizes from 4MB to 100-500KB), ensure responsible coding standards, and implement accessibility principles that make websites faster for everyone.

These improvements benefit all users by creating faster, more efficient websites that rank better in search engines and provide better experiences.

Most business owners are either overwhelmed by AI hype or wasting time using it like everyone else. Nathalie Dorémieux, a tech strategist with over 20 years of software engineering experience, shares how to use AI as an accelerator rather than a replacement - and the results are remarkable.

In this episode, discover how one of Nathalie's clients reduced their training programme completion time from 4 months to just 4 days by building AI tools directly into their course. Learn the three essential elements AI needs to deliver genuine value: your unique knowledge, proper context, and specific prompts. Without these, you're just getting "refined rubbish" out.

Key Topics Covered:

• The three components AI needs to work effectively (most people miss at least one)
• How to build custom AI tools inside your programmes to accelerate client results
• Why "garbage in, garbage out" matters more than ever with AI
• The difference between using AI as an accelerator vs. falling for the hype
• Real examples: LinkedIn profile optimisation and membership launch emails done in minutes
• How to identify which business problems AI can actually solve (and which it can't)
• Turning podcast listeners into qualified leads using AI-powered conversations
• Why consistency and automation matter more than fancy AI tools
