Successible is an accessibility assistant for small business owners.

Think spellcheck — but for accessibility.

It helps you catch things like:
• low color contrast
• missing or unclear alt text
• incorrect heading levels
• and more!

It works where you already create:
emails, websites, and course platforms

Successible is:
• built for creators, not developers
• practical, not technical
• supportive, not shaming

It doesn’t write code.
It doesn’t panic you about compliance.

It teaches you, in real time, how to make your content more accessible.

I’m Erin. I help small businesses build accessibility into how they show up.

I’m also DeafBlind.
So accessibility isn’t a theory to me, it's daily life.

My entire life... accessibility treated as extra, complicated, or optional.
Which usually means people get left out.

My work is about making accessibility practical, human, and usable — especially for small business owners who care but don’t know where to start.

What you’ll find here:
• education without overwhelm
• real-world examples
• practical tools
• zero shame

Accessibility isn’t about perfection.
It’s about participation. Erin Perkins stands against a light background in a pink blazer with bold text that says "Meet Erin Perkins, Founder of Mabely Q." I'm Erin. I help small businesses build accessibility into how they show up. by @mabely_q

Here’s what will happens at Design Accessibility: Where the Gaps Are

First, we look at where accessibility tools already exist in what you use every day — Canva, Adobe, your website platform, Successible, and more. You’ll see what’s built-in, what’s missing, and what you can start using right away.

Then, we do live mini-audits:
- Up to 10 one-page reviews (website, style guide, or a specific design)
- You submit ahead of time
- I walk through each one live so everyone can learn from it

Even if your submission isn’t chosen, you’ll still get value from seeing real examples and you can ask questions during open Q&A as time allows.

This isn’t a full accessibility overhaul. It’s a clear, practical look at what you’re already doing and how to make it more accessible.

This landed in my inbox.

I opened it on my phone… and immediately closed it.

Why? Because within the first *three seconds* I spotted four glaring accessibility issues. On a MOBILE EMAIL. From a BUSINESS. In 2026.

No, I don’t go hunting for accessibility mistakes for fun.
They just… jump out at me. 🙃

Here’s the thing...
If an email isn’t accessible, it’s not just “a bit annoying.” It’s unreadable, confusing, or completely unusable for a lot of disabled folks. That means people you *want* to reach are bouncing before they even get to your message.

If you’ve ever worried, “What am I missing in my emails?” you’re not alone and it’s 100% fixable.

Can you spot the 4 issues I noticed right away?

I audited 9 websites. One page each.

8 out of 9 had an accessibility issue.

7 out of 9 had contrast failures nobody knew about. 7 out of 9 had images missing alt text.

One page. Not the whole site.

This isn't about anyone doing a bad job. It's about how easy it is for these gaps to hide in plain sight — even in work you already called finished.

Oct 1st, I'm running a live workshop where we do exactly this with your work. One page. Real audit. No guessing.

Pretty isn’t the same as accessible — and that gap is where disabled people get left out. ♿️

On Oct 1 at 11am ET, I’m hosting “Design Accessibility: Where the Gaps Are” — a live, hands-on audit session. Bring your website, style guide, or a client project and we’ll walk through the exact spots where accessibility is slipping through (and how to fix it with the tools you already use).

Spots are limited so everyone gets real time in the hot seat, and your $100 ticket rolls forward into your next step with me. ✨

💜✨I NEED YOUR VOTE! 💜✨

I’m excited to share that I’m part of a proposed SXSW 2027 PanelPicker session, “Who Gets Seen? Building Accessible Media, Event, Experience.”

Alongside Zaakirah Muhammad - @illuminousone and Erin Perkins - @mabely_q, we’re bringing together our experiences in media, storytelling, accessibility, disability advocacy, and inclusive design to have a much-needed conversation about who gets seen, heard, represented, and included when we create media and experiences.

For me, this conversation is personal. As a filmmaker, stylist, visual storyteller, and epilepsy advocate, I understand how much representation matters—not only in front of the camera, but in the creative decisions being made behind the scenes.

Now, we need your help getting this conversation to the SXSW stage in Austin!

Community voting is open through August 23. It only takes a few minutes to create a free SXSW account and vote for our panel. Every vote counts!

Please vote, share, and help us take this conversation to SXSW 2027. 💜🙌🏽

How many masterclasses and “ultimate frameworks” are sitting in your downloads right now, unopened?

That’s not a *you* problem.

That’s a you’ve-outgrown-what-the-internet-has-to-offer-you problem.

You’re past the stage where another slide deck of theory moves the needle.

You don’t need more information — you need an expert looking at your actual offer, your messaging, and your funnel, and telling you the specific thing to change.

That’s why I’m so excited to share that I’m speaking at Stand Out & Sell Out — the most advanced, most interactive virtual conference I’ve seen. My friend Taylor is hosting this and she’s breaking the passive content summit model on purpose: every session is live.

✔ Live audits of real offers, messaging, and profiles
✔ The small tweaks that make people buy faster, so you scale
✔ Masterminding and real connections with founders at your level
🎤 I’m speaking on [insert your topic here], live.

Some of my BEST business ideas haven’t come from polished webinars or fancy funnels…

They’ve come from real, messy, honest convos with my biz friends about what’s working, what’s flopping, and when we secretly want to burn it all down and start over.

For me, that usually happens in Slack threads — because as a deaf business owner, I need tools that actually *transcribe* our conversations. (Dear apps that hide transcription behind a paywall: accessibility isn’t an “extra.”)

Now you get to be a fly on the wall in convos like that.

I’m part of Becca Tracy’s “Fly On The Wall” private podcast series — real behind-the-scenes chats between biz friends about how we’re using AI, not using it, experimenting, questioning it, and figuring out where (or if) it fits in our businesses.

Sign up here:
https://theuncagedlife.com/flyonthewall

You’ll get 48 hours of free access to each convo, and extended access is just $21 (all donated to @theadventureproject).
