This week’s guest Charlie Morris is on a mission to help startups, indie makers, and even BigCos make their websites and products more accessible for everyone.
Since joining the #BuildInPublic community on X late last year, he’s launched several indie-oriented products, an agency focused on accessibility and heaps more.
All on top of his regular 9-5 and also co-founding a mushroom farm with his partner last year 🍄
Here’s what we uncover in this show:
Charlie’s motivation to grow awareness around accessibility and to do all this in public.
The details of what it means to have ‘good’ accessibility, how to test it and why it’s a constant improvement journey.
What major sites or products we can look at as great examples to learn from.
How the mushroom farm inspired Charlie to start his indie maker journey.
And a lot more. Here are Charlie’s products that you should definitely check out:
