About Digital Accessibility
Why Digital Accessibility Matters
Approximately 15-20% of the population has some form of disability or belongs to the senior demographic. By ensuring digital accessibility, you can extend your product's reach to a broader audience. Additionally, websites optimized for accessibility tend to perform better in search engine rankings (SEO), increasing their visibility.
Other key benefits include:
- Improved Usability: Accessibility enhancements often lead to a more streamlined and intuitive user experience for all visitors.
- Positive Brand Perception: Demonstrating a commitment to inclusivity enhances your brand’s reputation, fostering trust and loyalty.
- Higher Engagement: Accessible websites promote greater interaction by making content easier to navigate and understand for diverse user groups.
Understanding the EAA and WCAG
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is a directive that aims to improve accessibility across the EU, ensuring that products and services, including websites, are accessible to people with disabilities. It complements the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which provide specific recommendations to make web content perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.
Examples of Digital Accessibility
- Perceivable: Adding alt text to images helps visually impaired users understand the content through screen readers.
- Operable: Keyboard navigation ensures that people who cannot use a mouse can still browse the site.
- Understandable: Simple error messages guide users to correct mistakes without confusion.
- Robust: Websites are built to work with various devices and assistive technologies, ensuring accessibility for all.
The European Accessibility Act (EAA)
European Accessibility Act Countdown
The European Accessibility Act (EAA), adopted in 2019, is a directive aimed at harmonizing accessibility standards across the EU. Member states are currently finalizing the process of implementing it, and businesses must ensure compliance by June 28, 2025. The act sets out clear requirements for making digital products and services accessible, removing barriers for people with disabilities.
158 days and 12 hours until EAA takes effect
With the compliance deadline fast approaching in 2025, businesses should act now to align with the EAA to avoid fines that can reach up to €100,000 for each violation. Taking proactive steps to meet accessibility standards not only helps avoid legal issues but also ensures inclusivity for all users, enhancing customer trust and expanding your market reach.
Our 3-Step Plan To Achieve EAA/BFSG Compliance
Compliance Assessment
We start with a thorough assessment of your current accessibility status using the AccessiBridge Overview Report, Remediation Blueprint, and Expert Audit. The Overview Report, designed for stakeholders, provides a clear and easy-to-read summary, identifying up to 50% of accessibility issues by severity. For more detailed insights, the Remediation Blueprint offers a technical breakdown of the issues, providing developers and content managers with precise instructions on what needs fixing. TheExpert Audit ensures up to 100% detection of all accessibility issues, thoroughly categorizing them and setting the foundation for full compliance. While these assessments are crucial, full compliance is only achieved after the necessary remediations are completed, which follows in the next step.
Achieve Compliance
This step focuses on implementing the solutions identified in the assessment phase. As a software company, we specialize in the full implementation of remediation projects. Through our Remediation Implementation & Support service, we handle the technical aspects to ensure your website meets the highest accessibility standards, including EAA, BFSG, and WCAG. Whether you need full project management, hands-on implementation, training, or a consultation with our experts, we ensure that all identified accessibility issues are resolved, leading to full compliance.
Remain Compliant
To maintain ongoing compliance, we deploy the AccessiBridge Continuity solution. This includes continuous site monitoring, automated functionality tests, and real-time updates via our user-friendly dashboard. This solution ensures your website remains compliant with EAA, BFSG, and WCAG standards, adapting to any new regulations or site changes over time.
Our 3-Step Audit Process
AccessiBridge Overview Report
Our initial scan covers all sites under one domain, categorizing up to 50% of digital accessibility issues by severity. This high-level, easy-to-read report is designed to help stakeholders quickly understand key areas for improvement and take action. For example, it might highlight that "5 images on the home page do not meet the necessary contrast criteria."
AccessiBridge Remediation Blueprint
Building on the Overview Report, this detailed and technical report provides in-depth insights for developers and content managers. It identifies specific areas that need fixing, such as pinpointing where code needs to be amended to meet compliance requirements. With expert consultation included, this report helps ensure your team can confidently tackle remediation tasks.
AccessiBridge Expert Audit
This final step involves a comprehensive review led by our accessibility experts. The Expert Audit ensures that all issues identified in the previous stages are thoroughly assessed, and that your site is on track to meet the highest accessibility standards, including WCAG, EAA, and BFSG. However, compliance is not fully achieved with the audit alone—remediation must be completed to resolve the issues. We are happy to support you with our Remediation Implementation & Support plan to ensure your website meets full compliance and gives you peace of mind.
