Accessibility is now an essential part of both digital quality and compliance. For many organizations, it is no longer a recommendation, but a clear requirement. The Accessibility Directive and the European Accessibility Act (EAA) require websites and digital services to be usable by everyone – regardless of disability, technology or how the user navigates.
WCAG is the standard used as the basis for measuring and ensuring accessibility. The EAA further broadens the perspective and clarifies that accessibility must also work when services are further developed, updated and changed over time. This means that accessibility cannot be handled as a one-off project, but needs to be part of both development and management.
We help you work in a structured way with WCAG and EAA, from review and action to documentation and follow-up. The goal is to create a website that both meets the requirements and works better for users.
An accessible website should work just as well for someone navigating with a mouse as for someone using a keyboard or screen reader. It’s about clear flows, understandable structure, correct code and content that can be accessed without barriers.
Accessibility work often leads to improvements that are also appreciated by all users. Clearer navigation, better contrasts, more logical headings and simpler forms create a more professional and reliable whole. Accessibility thus becomes not just a legal requirement, but a quality enhancement of the entire digital experience.
We work with both new and existing websites and use WCAG 2.1 (AA) as a starting point, taking into account current and future requirements linked to EAA. The work begins with an accessibility analysis where we review the website’s structure, design, content and technical implementation.
This can be anything from heading levels, contrasts and forms to how menus work, how buttons are structured and how the site behaves when navigated by keyboard. Documents, media and content published on an ongoing basis also need to be managed in a way that does not create new barriers.
The measures are adapted to the technology, design and future management of the site. The focus is always on creating a solution that works in practice and is maintainable over time.
WCAG describes how accessibility should be built technically and editorially. The EAA describes to a greater extent which digital services are covered, which requirements apply and how compliance is to be ensured in the long term.
In practice, EAA means that organizations need to control more than just the website itself. Accessibility needs to be part of how content is published, how new features are developed, and how to ensure that changes do not create new deficiencies. This makes accessibility a question of technology, process and responsibility.
Once the work has been completed, you will receive a clear account of what has been identified and addressed, as well as recommendations for further accessibility work. This gives you a better overview of the status of your website and makes it easier to monitor accessibility in future developments.
The documentation also serves as an important basis for internal follow-up, audit or supervision.
Accessibility is affected over time, especially on websites where content is regularly updated or new features are added. That’s why we offer an annual accessibility audit to monitor changes and ensure that the site remains compliant.
The review covers new pages, updated features and any changes in rules or practices. This allows you to take a long-term view and be confident that your website will remain at the right level even after further development.
We help you create and manage digital services that comply with the requirements of the Accessibility Directive and the European Accessibility Act. You get a clear process, concrete actions and a way of working that works even as your website changes and grows.
