Make your website accessible and WCAG-compliant by June 2025

Make your website accessible to everyone

Starting June 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) will come into effect. This regulation requires businesses and organizations within the European Union to make their digital products and services accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. This is not only a legal obligation but also an opportunity to reach a broader audience and enhance the user experience. An accessible website promotes inclusivity, strengthens your brand, and can boost your conversion rates.

What does the European
Accessibility Act entail?

The EAA sets requirements for websites, apps, and other digital platforms of businesses operating within the EU. This applies to:

  • Online stores offering products or services.
  • Financial institutions such as banks and insurance companies.
  • Government agencies and public services.
  • Online providers of e-books, e-learning, and streaming services.

The guidelines of the EAA are based on the international Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). The purpose of these guidelines is to ensure that:

  • People with disabilities can easily use your digital platform.
  • You comply with legal requirements and avoid reputational damage or fines.
  • Your website is future-proof.

Why Accessibility Is Essential
for Your Website

Accessibility goes beyond legal compliance. It makes your platform more user-friendly for everyone, enhances the user experience, and can improve search engine visibility. Implementing WCAG standards requires attention to both visual and technical aspects, including:

  • Readability: Ensure sufficient contrast and clear fonts.
  • Navigation: Make your website fully navigable via keyboard and compatible with screen readers.
  • Alternative content: Add descriptions to images and subtitles to videos.
  • Technical optimizations: Use proper HTML structures and ARIA labels to make interactions accessible.

Accessibility as a Competitive Advantage

An accessible website offers multiple benefits:

  • Broader reach: You can engage a wider audience, including people with disabilities.
  • Enhanced brand identity: An inclusive approach builds trust with users.
  • Improved SEO: Accessibility optimizations contribute to higher search engine rankings.

By proactively complying with the EAA, you demonstrate that your organization values inclusivity and innovation.
