You Don’t Need to Burn It All Down—You Just Need a Plan

Refining Your Systems for Accessibility (Without Starting From Scratch)

---

I can’t tell you how many times someone hears me speak, gets fired up about accessibility—and then spirals into this:

“Oh no. I have to burn everything down and start over.”

Let’s pause right there.

Because the truth is: If you’ve created any kind of repeatable action in your business—you already have a system.

Even something like this:

1. Create a graphic in Canva

2. Download it

3. Upload to Instagram or your scheduler

4. Write a caption

5. Schedule a post time

That’s a system.

It might not feel fancy.
It might not be in Notion or mapped out on a whiteboard. But it’s a repeatable process. And that means—it's workable.

You don’t need to blow it up. You just need to refine it.

What I Actually Review

You already know the technical difference between systems and processes, here’s how I break it down:

If you’ve got a repeatable way of doing things, you’ve built a system.
And inside that system? Are the processes that keep it running.

When I work with clients, I’m not scrapping what works. I’m looking at the processes inside your system—the steps you repeat without even thinking—and showing you how to integrate accessibility right there.

When you understand the reason behind adding something like alt text, it stops feeling like a chore—and starts feeling like a natural part of how you show up.

Because once the why is clear, you’re not just following a new step. You’re building a habit that reflects your values.

Let me show you what that actually looks like…

Here’s a Real-Life Example

Let’s go back to that social media posting system:

1. Create a graphic in Canva

2. Download

3. Upload to Instagram or scheduling tool

4. Write a caption

5. Schedule it

Between steps 4 & 5, I’d help you add:

An Accessibility Layer:

• Upload the image to She Knows Alt Text

• Ask it to generate alt text

• Refine it (cut fluff, highlight what matters)

• Include the alt text in your Instagram caption as an image description

Why this matters:
This allows blind or low vision users to fully experience your content—even if they’re not seeing the graphic visually. When you describe your visuals, you’re creating access.

“Did you know? Over 90% of blind people have some usable vision.
(According to the American Printing House for the Blind and other research, total blindness is rare—many people navigate the world with partial or low vision.)”

Accessibility Isn’t About Adding More Work—It’s About Expanding What You Already Do

What if you didn’t need to start over?

What if you could take what’s already working—and make it more inclusive, more effective, and more human?

That’s the work I do.

I help you look at your business systems—from social media to onboarding to email—and refine them through an accessibility lens. Not to slow you down. But to help you reach more people, with more clarity and care.

You don’t need to burn it all down.

You just need a plan that actually works for real people.
