Digital Accessibility

Overview
As of June 28, 2025, digital accessibility becomes a legal requirement. It not only improves access for all users, but also enhances user experience, strengthens SEO performance, and promotes inclusive brand perception.

Digital accessibility is no longer a "nice-to-have" - it's becoming a legal obligation. Starting June 28, 2025, the Accessibility Act, as part of the European Accessibility Act (EAA), comes into force and requires companies to make their digital services accessible. But what does this mean in practice? And why does it pay off not just legally, but also economically, to remove digital barriers now?

Why accessibility is essential for your business

Legal obligation: penalties apply from June 2025
The Accessibility Act stipulates that digital products and services must be accessible to everyone - including people with visual, auditory, or motor impairments. Companies that fail to meet these requirements risk legal consequences and fines.

Better user experience for everyone
Accessible websites and apps don't just benefit people with disabilities. Clearer structure, understandable content, and intuitive navigation improve the overall user experience.

SEO benefits and wider reach
Search engines like Google favor accessible websites in their rankings. Clear text, alt text for images, and a well-structured layout make your content easier to understand - not just for people, but for search engines too.

Competitive advantage through inclusion
Around 15% of the global population lives with a disability. Removing digital barriers opens up an often-overlooked audience while strengthening your brand image.
