Upcoming EU Web Accessibility Legislation: What You Need to Know
The European Union is introducing new web accessibility legislation aimed at making digital spaces more inclusive for everyone, including individuals with disabilities. These regulations require websites and apps to meet WCAG AA standards, ensuring equal access to information and services. But what does this mean for you?
Who Needs to Comply?
If you operate a public sector organization, compliance is mandatory. However, private businesses offering goods or services online, particularly in industries like retail, banking, and transportation, are increasingly included. Essentially, if your website serves customers in the EU, it's crucial to check if the legislation applies to you.
What Happens If I Don't Comply?
Non-compliance can result in fines, legal challenges, and damage to your brand's reputation. Beyond penalties, ignoring accessibility risks alienating a significant audience. Prioritizing accessibility not only ensures compliance but also showcases inclusivity, enhancing your credibility and reach.
How Hard Is It to Become WCAG AA Accessible?
Achieving accessibility can feel overwhelming, but it's entirely manageable with the right approach. The process involves addressing barriers like poor color contrast, missing alt text, or inaccessible navigation. It doesn't require a full redesign—small, meaningful changes can make a big impact.
How Can I Check What I Need to Do?
Start with an accessibility audit to identify gaps and understand what needs improvement. Once you know the areas to address, tailored training and expert consultancy can equip your team to make changes. For larger or more complex projects, having an interim accessibility expert ensures effective implementation.
At Accesseo, we simplify the process. Our services include audits, training, consultancy, and interim support to help you meet accessibility requirements confidently. Accessibility is more than compliance—it's about creating a web everyone can use. Let's make it happen together.
What is an accessibility audit?
An accessibility audit is a comprehensive review of your website or digital platform to ensure it meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which are part of European legislation aimed at making the web accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. Ensuring compliance not only helps you avoid legal risks but also enhances user experience, boosts SEO, and broadens your audience reach. With an audit, we'll help you identify barriers and provide solutions to create an inclusive digital experience.
