In this episode, Lois is joined by three voices bringing web accessibility into sharp focus: Karren Visser, a visually impaired photographer who navigates the digital world daily. Justin Hyde, a front-end developer with a passion for building inclusive user experiences. And Craig Strachan, an IT architect who understands the structural backbone of accessible systems. Together, they unpack what it really means to create websites that work for everyone.

This conversation explores a broad range of topics related to web accessibility, from barriers that impact everything from simple browsing to making important buying decisions. We go behind the scenes to explore how thoughtful coding, modern frameworks, and evolving AI tools can help identify and fix accessibility gaps before they become obstacles.

Most importantly, the conversation is placed within the context of the business case for making websites accessible to all, demonstrating the bottom line affect that inclusion can have for an organisation.
