Maxwell Ivey, The Blind Blogger, is an entrepreneur and accessibility advocate who has transformed personal adversity into purpose-driven work. Losing his vision to retinitis pigmentosa, Maxwell began his entrepreneurial journey brokering amusement park rides online, teaching himself code and navigating platforms that were not built with accessibility in mind. His lived experiences laid the groundwork for a deep understanding of the real-world barriers that people with disabilities face in digital spaces.

Over time, Maxwell evolved into a respected accessibility consultant, helping businesses identify and address gaps in their digital design and user experience. He emphasizes that accessibility isn’t just a compliance issue—it’s a growth opportunity. Companies that invest in inclusive design often gain improved SEO, better customer engagement, and a broader audience reach. Maxwell also explores how emerging technologies like AI can support accessibility efforts, while warning that these tools must include representation from the disability community to be truly effective and trustworthy.

If you're a business owner or content creator, Maxwell is offering a free accessibility review of your website's homepage. This is an excellent opportunity to gain expert insights from someone who not only understands accessibility theory but lives it every day. Reach out to Maxwell and take a step toward making your digital presence more inclusive, welcoming, and impactful for all users.
