Meet our host, Elisa Lewis
Elisa is a Senior Inbound Marketing Manager at 3Play Media. She creates and produces educational content on all things video and web accessibility, and is thrilled to be hosting the Allied podcast.
In her free time, you may find Elisa begging to pet strangers’ dogs on the Boston Common, crafting, or puzzling over her latest DIY project.
Why Accessibility Matters
The amount of content being produced and published online is growing exponentially. The sad reality is that much of the internet isn’t accessible to people with disabilities. When organizations prioritize accessibility, more people are able to actively participate in society.
71%
of people with disabilities leave a website immediately if it’s not accessible.
800 million
people live with some form of hearing, vision, or motor disability.
$1 Trillion
in annual disposable income from people with disabilities is missed when we don’t make content accessible.
We are also streaming on Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Apple Podcasts.
