WCAG 2025 – The Countdown is On!

Ensure Compliance with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and Local Regulations

By the end of June 2025 even more online sites will need to meet accessibility requirements. The European Accessibility Act (EAA) has been extended to apply to e-commerce sites - corresponding laws become effective this Summer. Which means our customers in our domain expertise 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?
  • Are you looking for assistance in incorporating accessibility guidelines into your CI/CD for upcoming/future implementations?

We are 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

  1. We understand your target audience and your offering by defining typical user flows.
    • With our extensive e-commerce experience, we do not start from scratch, but refine user flows according to the needs with you according to your products and processes.
    • The user flows are the basis for all tests.

  2. We perform a technical, tool-based test for a first impression.
    • This includes basic checks such as checking alternative texts for images, videos, links or buttons, available ARIA roles or contrasts.
    • Evaluation of navigation paths.

  3. We perform a functional test of the typical user flows by using only keyboard navigation.
    • Verifying focus and control of all elements, links, skip links, form fields and list elements.
    • Finding navigation traps.
    • Verifying readability and logical flow.
    • Checking the size of text and clickable elements.
    • Looking for error messages, such as when entering data into form fields.

  4. We verify features such as text-to-speech using a screen reader.
    • Checking the structure of your website.
    • Semantical check of the coherence of the texts of links, buttons or images in combination with the alternative texts.
    • Verification that all information provided is useful to complete the user flow.

  5. We provide defect reports as well as a summary report at the end of the audit.
    • This comes along with concrete advice on how to fix issues.

Make Your Application Truly Accessible!

We Combine Tool-Based Analysis with Functional Testing
