“Our focus has always been on delivering best-in-class solutions for our clients, and our partnership with eSSENTIAL Accessibility is another example of this commitment,” said BJ Cook, President of 85SIXTY. “eA’s solution equips us to work accessibility earlier into our design process, delivering to our clients a more cohesive customer experience, enhancing their SEO, and ensuring their digital content reaches the largest possible audience.”

One billion people worldwide live with a disability, which is approximately 15 percent of the global population. If a digital experience is not created to accommodate the needs of every individual, they may experience a barrier that prevents them from browsing and buying products, fundamental capabilities of an e-commerce site. Prioritizing digital accessibility removes these barriers, not only maximizing consumer market share, but supporting a brand’s commitment to inclusivity.

“We’re proud to partner with 85SIXTY, aligning with an agency that shares our belief that every user deserves an accessible online experience,” said Spiro Papathanasakis, Co-Founder & CSO at eSSENTIAL Accessibility. “Our work together will help 85SIXTY transform the digital solutions they create for their clients, better supporting the customers they serve, and making digital experiences more enjoyable for all.”

eA partners with consultancies, leading platform providers, and agencies that are committed to creating more inclusive digital experiences. The program equips partners with eA’s accessibility platform, as well as access to technical and compliance expertise. It also enables partners to up-skill their internal teams, with training to help them shift accessibility considerations earlier in their design and development processes.
