Christine Laikind

Hey, My name is Christine Laikind. It’s personal for me – why? I was born deaf. I am an entrepreneur. I’m on a mission to talk about web accessibility. To the Web Design community. To small businesses. To nonprofit organizations. To e-commerce businesses. You may or may not have heard about web accessibility. Or Inclusive design. But anyone that has a website, web accessibility is becoming more important than ever. Why? Because, the Web and Internet as a whole is an increasingly important resource in many aspects of our life which includes: education, employment, government, e-commerce, health care, recreation, and so much more. An accessible web will help people with “different abilities” (my term), the aging population (think baby boomers and upcoming generation X) and even those who are “temporarily disabled” use the website – the way it is intended. Let’s talk and discuss on how we can make our digital world so much better for everyone.
