Accessibility is mandatory – and an opportunity

Since 28 June 2025, the European Accessibility Act has applied across the EU. It mainly affects online shops and digital services – but the idea behind it applies to every website.

What matters

Accessibility doesn’t mean a site has to look boring. Most of the time it’s about details:

• sufficient contrast between text and background
• a page that can be used entirely with a keyboard
• alternative text for images that carry meaning
• forms with clear labels and error messages

Better for everyone

Building accessibly means building better for everyone: people wearing glasses, reading in bright sunlight, or holding a pram with one hand. And search engines understand well-structured pages better, too.

We test every website against WCAG 2.2 – automatically and by hand.
