Is your website ready for the new European Accessibility Act?

Starting June 28, 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) will come into force, requiring many businesses to ensure their websites and online stores are accessible to all users, including people with disabilities.

This law aims to break down digital barriers and guarantee equal access for everyone—because accessibility is not just a legal requirement, it’s a matter of inclusion and responsibility.

Who does this law affect?

The EAA applies to:

• E-commerce websites and marketplaces

• Financial service providers

• Booking platforms for transport and accommodation

• Publishers and digital reading services
  

In short: it’s not optional. Non-compliance could result in fines, legal actions, or losing potential customers.

Why you should act now

Making your website compliant with the WCAG 2.1 guidelines (level AA) takes time. It involves auditing, design updates, and sometimes deeper technical work.

But it’s worth it. Besides staying compliant, you’ll improve your site’s SEO, enhance user experience, and open your business to millions of users currently excluded due to poor accessibility.
