After joining the Partner Agency Program, the first thing we recommend all new Partner Agencies do is learn a little more about the various tools and information available to you through the program.
If you’re a new Partner Agency, follow this 7-step Onboarding Roadmap to learn what you need to do in order to offer accessibility services to your clients.
- Get familiar with the layout of the Partner Agency Dashboard.
- Check out the tutorial “User Organization in the V4 Platform & Ally Toolbox” for a guided walkthrough.
- Set up your affiliate account information so you can earn commissions on any referrals you make.
- For more information, take a look at our tutorial “How to Generate an Affiliate Referral Link.”
- Take a look at the A11y Toolbox, which will be the main tool you’ll need to know how to use in order to generate accessibility reports (and in turn, know what issues to fix) for your clients.
- Our guide “A11y Toolbox General Overview” will help you get started.
- Learn how to set up clients, projects, and audits in the A11y Toolbox.
- View our step-by-step guide “Setting Up Your First Client, Project, and WCAG Audit” for more information.
- Learn how to run an automated audit with the A11y Toolbox.
- The tutorial “Running an Automated Audit” will show you everything you need to know.
- Set up a landing page with a lead form on your website for the new accessibility-related services that you’ll offer.
- If you have an email automation service, link any accessibility service lead forms on your website to a list in your email service.
- If you don’t have an email automation service, we recommend ActiveCampaign (we’re not affiliates, just fans of a really good product).
If you follow these steps and reference the guides that we’ve linked as you go, you’ll be able to provide your clients with the accessibility services they need.
