Hey, I'm Steph Blake 👋

I'm that crazy woman who is obsessed with working less than 20 hours per week & making a full-time income 🤪

...AND I WANT TO HELP MAKE THAT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TOO!

It's really easy to fall into the trap of overworking & not getting the results you want.

I worked the 80+ hour weeks for years to reach the elusive "6-figures per year" goal.

But when I found out I was pregnant with my first son in 2018, I realized that I needed to figure out a way to leave my 9-5 job and go full-time in my business.

So I created a SIMPLE solution that my ADHD brain could understand & implement...quickly!

For the past 5+ years, I have taught this method to thousands of people, retired my husband in early 2022 from his 9-5 job & consistently work <15 hours/week while making 6+ figures.

When I found Steph, I had already spent 8 months searching for how to grow from an unprofessional blogger to a professional, recognizable business in my industry.

No one seemed to offer that 'secret sauce'—the guidance you need when you're trying to grow, but don't have enough time to do it all yourself or the money to hire help.

When I saw a bundle that she hosted, I immediately thought, 'This is the woman I need to learn from.'

And I was right!

Steph provided exactly what I had been searching for all year but couldn’t find anywhere else.

She’s been the missing piece I needed to take my business to the next level!"

How do you thank someone who stopped you from giving up on your business and helped you discover your true purpose?

For years, I was held back by a missing link that I couldn’t identify—until I worked with Steph Blake.

She helped me find it in a Mastermind where we shared our businesses, fears, and mindsets in a safe, supportive space.

Despite never having met Steph before, the experience was transformative. I’ve worked with countless coaches and invested significant time and money without seeing results, but none understood my mission and passion like Steph.

She grasped my "why" almost better than I did.

What makes Steph unique is how much she truly cares. She listens deeply and finds the simplest, most effective strategies to help you start or scale your business.

Thanks to Steph, I now believe I can build the business I’ve always envisioned. The outcome exceeded my expectations.

Enhancing Your Website’s Accessibility: Insights from Samantha Mabe

December 08, 20243 min read

"Accessibility is about making your online presence available to the most people by accommodating their needs." - Samantha Mabe

In today's digital landscape, the notion of accessibility is paramount, not only as a matter of inclusivity but also as a strategic advantage for businesses.

In a recent episode of The Simple Business Show™, I had the pleasure of speaking with Samantha Mabe, a strategic website designer specializing in creating accessible websites for health and wellness professionals.

Our conversation shed light on actionable steps you can take to ensure your website serves a wider audience and ranks better in search engines.

From Architecture to Accessible Web Design

Samantha’s journey began in architecture, where she honed her design skills. However, her passion found a home in website design, specifically for health and wellness professionals.

Her business, Lemon and the Sea Designs, focuses on building websites that are not only beautiful but also strategically geared towards accessibility, thereby improving user experience and business reach.

Why Accessibility Matters

Accessibility ensures that your website is usable by everyone, including those with disabilities. This encompasses various needs, such as those who are visually impaired, rely on screen readers, or prefer watching videos with closed captions.

Designing with accessibility in mind extends your services to a larger audience, inherently benefiting your business.

Design Tips for an Accessible Website

  1. Color Contrast: A key aspect of accessibility is ensuring high color contrast between text and backgrounds. Tools like WebAIM’s color contrast checker can help validate if your site meets recommended standards.

  2. Descriptive Alt Text: Essential for both accessibility and SEO, alt text provides descriptions for images, allowing screen readers to convey visual content effectively.

  3. Font Simplicity: Opt for straightforward, legible fonts like sans-serif for body text. Avoid ornate fonts for crucial content to maintain readability.

  4. Logical Heading Structure: Use proper heading tags (H1, H2, H3) to organize content clearly. This structure aids screen readers and enhances SEO by making your site easier to navigate.

  5. Clear Button Labels: Replace vague terms like “Learn More” with descriptive labels that outline the outcome, such as “Discover Our Web Design Services.”

Utilize Technology to Enhance Accessibility

Samantha recommends using tools such as Google PageSpeed Insights to assess your website’s accessibility and performance.

Additionally, incorporate dynamic tools that allow users to adjust settings such as font size and color contrast directly on your site.
