Stop Losing Visitors in the First 10 Seconds
Digital Accessibility Is the Engagement Strategy You’re Missing
Great design and high-quality streaming aren't enough if your digital platforms are unintentionally locking people out.
71% of Users with Access Needs Leave Inaccessible Websites Immediately
Research shows that 71% of users with access needs will leave a website the moment they discover it isn’t accessible to them. That means the time and money you invest driving digital traffic can evaporate in seconds if basic barriers are present. Accessibility isn’t a technical detail, it determines whether visitors stay long enough to engage at all.

Belonging By Design™ - Leadership Training For Accessible Faith Communities
Most faith communities invest significant time and energy into their digital presence. You livestream services. You promote events on social media. You maintain a website. You send email campaigns. You encourage online giving.

80% of Caption Users Are Not Deaf or Hard of Hearing
Closed captions are often seen as a disability accommodation, but 80% of people who use them are not deaf or hard of hearing. They rely on captions to improve comprehension, retain information, or watch content in sound-sensitive environments. Captions aren’t just accessible, they increase engagement, clarity, and reach for everyone.
What This Class Actually Provides
This is not a checklist of legal requirements. It is a leadership operating system.
The training includes more than four hours of structured content designed for executive decision-makers. It addresses physical space, communication practices, digital presence, volunteer culture, and implementation sequencing.
The goal is not to overwhelm you. It is to give you a clear starting point and a defined progression.
Accessibility is most effective when it is integrated into leadership conversations about growth, retention, and sustainability, not delegated to an ad hoc committee with no authority.
You will walk through:
- How to identify physical barriers that affect participation.
- How to assess digital systems, including livestream and website accessibility.
- How to address communication gaps that exclude Deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, or low-vision members.
- How to build a volunteer accessibility team with clear responsibilities.
- How to create a 30-day action plan that is realistic and sustainable.
- How to align accessibility with your broader leadership strategy.
96% of Top Websites Fail Basic Accessibility Tests
Annual WebAIM audits show that over 96% of the top one million websites fail basic accessibility standards, often due to simple issues like missing alt-text, poor color contrast, or improper heading structure. Statistically, your website is likely part of that majority. The encouraging reality is that most of these barriers are identifiable and fixable once you know what to look for.
