WCAG 2025 – The New Requirements Are Now in Effect
Ensure Compliance with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and Local Regulations
As of the end of June 2025, an additional range of websites must comply with accessibility requirements. The European Accessibility Act (EAA) has been extended to apply to e-commerce sites and the applicable laws went into effect this summer. That means our customers need to be WCAG2.2 compliant.
- Are you unsure about the accessibility of your online presence?
- Looking for a partner to conduct an accessibility audit?
- Would you like assistance in incorporating accessibility guidelines into your CI/CD for future implementations?
We're here to help!
We offer an accessibility audit of your product or service offering using WCAG2.2 conformance level criteria and design principles such as perceivability, operability, understandability, and robustness. For that, we combine a technical analysis of your website with a functional test using only keyboard navigation and a screen reader.
How Do We Do It?
Our Accessibility Testing Approach
User Flow & Strategy
We leverage our e-commerce expertise to refine critical user flows based on your specific products. These defined paths serve as the foundational roadmap for all subsequent accessibility tests.
Foundational Technical Audit
We evaluate the website’s underlying structure by checking image alternative texts, ARIA roles, and color contrast. This ensures the digital foundation meets global accessibility standards.
Keyboard Operability Testing
We verify that the interface is fully functional without a mouse. This includes testing tab order, focus indicators, and form fields to eliminate navigation traps and ensure a logical flow.
Screen Reader Validation
Our team performs manual checks to ensure screen readers interpret the site correctly. We verify that headings, buttons, and links provide meaningful context for users with visual impairments.
Remediation and Integration
We translate findings into actionable tasks by filing detailed issues in your preferred tracking tool. Each ticket includes concrete code suggestions to help your team implement fixes efficiently.
Final Audit Reporting
We provide a comprehensive summary of your website’s accessibility status. This report offers a clear compliance benchmark and an executive overview for your stakeholders.
Make Your Application Truly Accessible!
Tool-Based Analysis and Functional Testing
Only a combination of tool-based analysis and functional testing ensures true, comprehensive accessibility.
Our testing includes verifying that your offering is compatible with assistive technologies, making your web presence accessible to people no matter their disability.
Ultimately, this not only promotes inclusivity but also helps expand your customer base and increase revenue.
