SHERPA Global, a leading UX consultancy and web development firm, announced today a partnership with accessiBe, the market leader in web accessibility solutions. SHERPA Global will join the accessiBe Partner Program, which is designed to provide web and digital agencies with the tools needed to make their clients’ websites accessible for people with various disabilities.
As a result of the partnership, SHERPA Global's clients will have access to accessiBe’s AI-powered solution, accessWidget, the first step in making sure a website is ADA and WCAG 2.1 compliant. Web accessibility boosts brand reputation, opens the consumer base to the disability community totaling more than one billion people globally, and minimizes the risk of being exposed to legal action.
“Accessibility is a foundational concern of user experience, or UX. We are thrilled to enable our clients with the ability to make their websites immediately available to everyone, while also achieving compliance and mitigating their legal risks.” - David Felfoldi, Chief Experience Officer for SHERPA Global.
“We are committed to partnering with professionals, from web agencies to freelance developers and marketers, to equip them with the tools they need to open their websites to the disability community,” said Shir Ekerling, co-founder and CEO of accessiBe. “We are thrilled to partner with SHERPA Global to help ensure that their clients can achieve and maintain web accessibility.”
To underline SHERPA Global's commitment to an accessible web, they will now offer and include the AccessWidget in all future web projects and current support agreements.
