Bytes.co has 350+ clients and 22 employees. We’ve consistently grown the business every year with the exception of last year’s Q2 Covid-19 setbacks.
Accessible Web is our web accessibility startup that spun out of Bytes.co in 2019. Accessible Web offers tools and services to help businesses and organizations upgrade their websites to meet the “Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)”.
