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 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.

The challenge

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.

The problem to solve

Help clients understand accessibility

Reduce accessibility-related legal risk

Create a recurring revenue opportunity

Avoid adding specialist development resources

“Since offering web accessibility, we’ve seen a 3.3% increase in MRR, which accounts for about 1% of our total ARR.”

Zach Webber
COO, Big Red Jelly

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.
