Meet the client
Access Heroes is a web agency focused on building accessible websites for small and medium-sized businesses.
Founded in 2020, the six-person agency has worked with more than 12,000 clients, combining accessibility education with website design and development.
Access Heroes wanted to make web accessibility a central part of its offering, but its SMB clients faced several barriers.
Many business owners didn’t understand the importance of accessibility. Traditional manual remediation could be prohibitively expensive. And when clients faced ADA demand letters or other accessibility concerns, the agency needed specialist support beyond the website itself.
Access Heroes needed a way to make accessibility easier to understand, affordable to implement, and practical to support at scale.
“Offering these services has distinguished us in a competitive market, making us an agency that attracts new clients who prioritize inclusion and compliance.”
