New recurring revenue
Offering accessWidget contributed to a 3.3% increase in the agency’s monthly recurring revenue.
Accessibility became part of the standard offer
Rather than treating accessibility as an add-on, Big Red Jelly built it into its standard client contracts, with clients choosing to opt out.
No accessibility team required
accessWidget gave the agency a way to offer and manage accessibility without adding specialist development headcount.
“Web accessibility provides legal risk mitigation for us as well as for our clients. We actually have it built into our standard contract.”

accessWidget
accessWidget gave Big Red Jelly a straightforward way to integrate web accessibility into client websites without adding extensive manual development work.
Partner Program
accessiBe’s partner resources, training, client management tools, and support helped Big Red Jelly make accessibility part of its broader agency offering.
Meet the client
Big Red Jelly is a Utah-based branding, web design, and digital marketing agency specializing in online tools, automation, and digital strategy.
Founded in 2018, the agency has worked with more than 2,000 clients and built its offering around providing businesses with a more complete digital experience.
As Big Red Jelly’s client base grew, the agency saw web accessibility becoming an increasingly important part of the websites it delivered.
But adding accessibility created three challenges: helping clients understand the legal and business reasons it mattered, finding a way to turn it into sustainable recurring revenue, and delivering it without building an in-house accessibility practice.
Big Red Jelly needed a solution that could fit naturally into its existing agency model.
“Since offering web accessibility, we’ve seen a 3.3% increase in MRR, which accounts for about 1% of our total ARR.”

The solution
Big Red Jelly partnered with accessiBe and integrated accessWidget directly into its website packages.
accessiBe’s materials and training helped the agency explain accessibility, its business value, and the potential legal risks of inaccessible websites.
Big Red Jelly incorporated web accessibility into its standard contracts, so it became part of the conversation with every client rather than an occasional add-on.
Annual accessWidget subscriptions gave the agency an ongoing revenue stream beyond the initial website project.
Big Red Jelly could add accessibility without expanding its development team, while the Customer Portal made it easier to track and manage client sites.
Results
Big Red Jelly clients experienced an average 34% increase in organic traffic after accessibility became part of the agency’s offering.
For Big Red Jelly itself, accessWidget contributed to a 3.3% increase in monthly recurring revenue and now represents approximately 1% of the agency’s total ARR.
The partnership also allowed Big Red Jelly to make accessibility part of its standard website offering without adding accessibility specialists or significantly increasing development overhead.
