## Summary

**Accessibility Base Opens New Marketplace**

Accessibility Base is launching as an open marketplace for accessibility professionals, organizations, and accessible products and services. The creator says it offers direct contact, no browsing fees, and a flat-rate page subscription instead of the commissions and restrictions common on platforms like Upwork or Fiverr.

Accessibility Base is presented as a new marketplace for accessibility professionals and accessibility-focused organizations, with pages for service providers, hiring organizations, connectors, partners, and product or service owners. The creator argues that it is more open than traditional freelance platforms because anyone can browse profiles, contact professionals directly, and view detailed information without signing up or paying to search.

Profiles can include services, background, hourly rate, availability, time zone, languages, specialties, certifications, tools, industries, payment methods, and personal information that helps buyers connect with the person behind the work. The platform also highlights organizations that want to showcase accessibility work such as VPATs or ACRs, and it supports recruiting, project work, contract work, and partnership opportunities.

- Browse is free; only page creation costs money.
- There are no project fees or commissions.
- Professionals can be contacted directly through linked websites, LinkedIn, email, or other contact methods.
- Members get promotional exposure on LinkedIn and Bluesky.
- The current subscription price is mostly $29.99, with the creator warning that it may rise as the marketplace grows.

The video frames Accessibility Base as a response to the way accessibility professionals are often overlooked and underpromoted on larger platforms. The creator says the goal is to increase visibility, generate leads, and build a community-driven marketplace that returns value to members through promotion, transparency, and a broader accessibility ecosystem.
