Make your website
work for everyone.

The European Accessibility Act has been in force since June 2025.
If you sell to consumers online, your website needs to meet a clear accessibility standard.
We get you there and keep you there.

Why accessibility matters now

Why
accessibility
matters now.

Accessibility is no longer a nice-to-have. It is the law, it widens your audience,
and it makes your site better for everyone. We make meeting it straightforward.

What the law actually asks of you.

The European Accessibility Act came into force on 28 June 2025. It requires websites, apps and other digital services offered in the EU to be usable by everyone, including people with disabilities.

The technical benchmark is a European standard called EN 301 549. Today that standard follows WCAG 2.1 Level AA. It is being updated to bring in the newer WCAG 2.2, so we build your site to 2.2 now. That meets the rules today and keeps you ahead of the change. In Ireland the same standard sits behind EN 301 549.

Who is in scope

Does this
apply to you?

Most businesses selling products or services to consumers online are in scope. Some smaller businesses are exempt, but meeting the standard still pays off, in reach, in search, and in reputation.

THE SHORT VERSION

In scope: most businesses offering products or services to consumers in the EU through their website.

Exempt: microenterprises providing services, meaning fewer than 10 staff and under €2 million turnover. Note you need to be under both to be exempt.

Not sure where you stand? That is the first thing we will tell you on the call, before anything else. If it does not apply to you, we will say so.

In plain terms

What web
accessibility
means.

It means building your site so everyone can use it, whatever their ability. People with visual, hearing, physical, cognitive or neurological differences should be able to read your content, move around your site, and get in touch as easily as anyone else.

  • Clear navigation and a logical structure

  • Alt text and descriptions for images and media

  • Strong colour contrast and readable type

  • Keyboard and screen reader compatibility

  • Regular audits as the standards evolve

The stakes

The cost of getting
it wrong, and the
reward for getting
it right.

If you ignore it

  • Legal risk. Reported fines in Ireland reach up to €60,000, and directors who persistently fail to comply can face up to six months in prison.

  • Lost trust. An out-of-date or hard-to-use site quietly turns people away.

  • Lost reach. You shut out older customers and anyone using assistive technology.

  • Weaker search. Inaccessible sites often rank worse on Google.

If you get it right

  • A wider audience. You reach millions more people, including older customers and those with disabilities.

  • Better performance. Accessible sites are often faster and rank better.

  • A stronger brand. You show you take inclusion seriously.

  • Peace of mind. You meet the standard and stop worrying about it.

Accessibility,
made simple,
in four steps.

Whether you need a full audit or a redesign, we take it from where you are
to where the law needs you to be, and we keep you there.

01

Audit.

We check your current site against WCAG 2.2 AA and find every barrier holding it back.

02

Redesign.

We design the fixes so the site is easier to use for everyone, not just compliant on paper.

03

Development.

We make the technical changes and test them across devices and assistive technology.

04

Ongoing
support.

Accessibility is not a once-off. We monitor and update your site as the standards move.
