Digital Accessibility: from legal compliance to competitive advantage

A complete assessment to ensure your digital platforms meet legal standards (EAA, ADA, WCAG 2.2), while improving usability, performance and reputation.

Why Now?

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) comes into force in June 2025, requiring companies in key sectors to ensure their digital channels are accessible to all users — including people with disabilities.

At the same time, in the U.S., the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the WCAG 2.2 guidelines are already being used as legal benchmarks in lawsuits, procurement and compliance audits.

This applies to companies that:

Employ more than 10 people

Operate websites, apps or digital services

Generate annual
revenue above €2M
