How does the Audit work?
Meet EU Accessibility Regulations with Ease.
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) requires all digital services—including websites, apps, and online marketplaces—to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by June 2025. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties, loss of business, and legal action.
Compliance helps you avoid significant fines and legal repercussions associated with non-compliance.
Making your website accessible allows individuals with disabilities to engage with your content, expanding your customer base.
Accessible design leads to better usability for all users, resulting in a more satisfying online experience.
Accessible websites often perform better in search engine rankings, leading to more organic traffic and higher user engagement.
By meeting current accessibility standards, you’re better prepared for future legal requirements and industry best practices.
Demonstrating a commitment to accessibility enhances your brand’s image and fosters trust among customers and stakeholders.
Our tailored audits focus on evaluating your website against WCAG 2.1 AA standards, the globally recognized benchmark for web accessibility.
While WCAG 2.1 forms the foundation for accessibility, our audits are designed to align with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) by addressing EN 301 549 requirements for websites. This ensures compliance with both EU regulations and international standards.
Meet EU Accessibility Regulations with Ease.
We thoroughly evaluate your website against WCAG 2.1 AA criteria and the European Accessibility Act (EAA). By identifying non-compliant areas early, you’ll know exactly where to focus improvements to avoid EU penalties.
You’ll receive a tailored, easy-to-understand report detailing what needs to be fixed and why. Our guidance prioritizes urgent issues, ensuring you tackle the most critical compliance gaps first.
After pinpointing issues, we offer ongoing support to implement changes. Whether you update your site in-house or choose our assistance, we ensure it meets EU standards and remains fully accessible moving forward.
We prioritize comprehensive accessibility to ensure your website meets WCAG 2.1 standards and complies with the European Accessibility Act (EAA). Our audit focuses on six essential areas:
Pricing that fits your website scale.
Basic Websites
Small to mid-sized websites (up to 20 pages)
Comprehensive WCAG 2.1 Level AA audit
Accessibility report highlighting key issues
Mobile & desktop audit for responsiveness
Basic screen reader and keyboard navigation testing
A report on quick wins to implement
follow-up consultation to discuss findings
Larger Websites
Large websites or platforms (20+ pages)
Full WCAG 2.1 Level AA audit, with Level AAA checks where applicable.
Detailed action plan for accessibility fixes.
Assistive technology testing (screen readers, voice input, etc.)
Mobile and desktop accessibility audit
Final compliance check after improvements are made
WCAG 2.1 establishes three levels of conformance, helping you gauge your accessibility efforts:
Minimal Accessibility
Addresses the most critical accessibility barriers.
Suitable for basic compliance but insufficient for legal or EU standards.
Mid-range Accessibility
Ensures content is accessible to most users and devices.
The required level for European Accessibility Act (EAA)
Highest Accessibility
Meets the highest accessibility standards.
Achieving AAA compliance is difficult for all content and isn’t required by most regulations.
WCAG 2.1 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is a set of guidelines designed to make websites and digital content more accessible to people with disabilities. Compliance is important because it improves user experience for everyone and ensures you meet legal requirements, such as those outlined in the European Accessibility Act (EAA).
WCAG 2.1 standards apply to all businesses and organizations offering digital services or products that are regulated under the European Accessibility Act (EAA). By June 28, 2025, accessibility requirements will need to be met by:
Developers of websites and mobile applications;
E-commerce businesses;
Financial service providers;
Providers of passenger transport services for air, bus, rail, and water transport (including ticketing systems and self-service terminals);
Providers of electronic communications and audiovisual media services;
Suppliers of products and services under public procurement contracts.
Meeting these requirements ensures that people with disabilities, older adults, and individuals with temporary or permanent functional limitations can equally access digital solutions. Compliance not only mitigates legal risks but also improves user experience and expands the reach to a broader audience.

Non-compliance can lead to fines, lawsuits, and damage to your brand’s reputation. It also means you're excluding a significant portion of potential users who may have disabilities, affecting your business reach.
Our audit covers six key areas: perceivable content, operable interfaces, understandable information, robust code, mobile accessibility, and user feedback/testing. We analyze your site, identify accessibility barriers, and provide actionable recommendations to meet WCAG 2.1 and EAA requirements.
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is a globally recognized set of guidelines focused on making websites accessible, created by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). However, it cannot be directly referenced in European directives because WCAG is limited to websites and the EU does not recognize W3C as an official standards body.
EN 301 549, developed by European standardization bodies (CEN, CENELEC, ETSI), was created to meet the requirements of the European Accessibility Act (EAA). It covers websites, mobile apps, non-web content (e.g., PDFs), and hardware.
While EN 301 549 includes WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA success criteria for websites, it also defines additional criteria and uses different rules for conformance.
For most websites, achieving WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance generally satisfies EN 301 549 requirements under the EAA.
Not necessarily! Many accessibility improvements can be made through small, strategic changes. Our audit will highlight any necessary adjustments, which can often be made without a complete redesign.
