Digital accessibility: Are you ready for 2025?

From June 28, 2025, many companies will have to make their digital offerings accessible - this is stipulated by the German Accessibility Improvement Act (BFSG). Websites and digital applications must comply with the WCAG guidelines in order to provide unrestricted access for all people.

With our accessibility checks, you can identify where there is a need for optimization at an early stage and ensure that your company is accessible and future-proof. Start now and be one step ahead!

We check your website for accessibility according to WCAG, BITV and BFSG

We analyze your website, app or software for digital accessibility - in accordance with the WCAG guidelines, the requirements of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and the BITV 2.0.

BITV 2.0 implements the EU Directive for digital accessibility in Germany and obliges public bodies in particular to make their services accessible. However, accessibility is also becoming increasingly relevant for companies.

With our accessibility audits, you can find out how accessible your digital product is and where there is a need for optimization. We check the design, structure and user guidance and provide you with a detailed report with specific recommendations for action to meet the legal requirements - and create an inclusive user experience.

Why is digital accessibility important?

Digital accessibility is more than a duty - it gives everyone access to digital content and ensures a better user experience for all.

From June 28, 2025, companies will have to make their digital offerings accessible - a legal requirement that will give millions of people unrestricted access to digital content. But accessibility brings more than just legal certainty: it improves the user experience, increases SEO and conversion rates and strengthens the brand image through active inclusion.

Accessible websites and apps make it easier for people with visual, hearing, cognitive or motor disabilities in particular to use the internet. However, users with temporary limitations, such as an injured hand or blinding sunlight on the display, also benefit from clear structures, good readability and alternative navigation paths.

The Accessibility Reinforcement Act (BFSG) affects all companies that offer digital products or services to the general public - including public bodies, online stores, e-commerce platforms and companies with digital communication channels. Act now and implement digital accessibility at an early stage!

Relevance of accessibility for companies

SEO

Sustainability

Economic efficiency

Accessibility increases the profitability of a company, e.g. by including a larger target group.

Success with our customers

Accessible website for the DJH

Since the beginning of 2024, we have been supporting the German Youth Hostels (DJH) in the barrier-free and creative development of their websites. The aim is to create an inclusive user experience - both in terms of design and editorial implementation. Our services include an accessibility audit, the rebrushing of pages, the development of an accessible design library in accordance with WCAG 2.2, EN 301 549 and BFSG as well as training for editors.

We supported the implementation in close cooperation with the DJH development team. Despite complex requirements and a tight timeframe, it has already been possible to create the central foundations for an accessible website. The redesign is currently in preparation.

Your questions - Our answers

What are the “low hanging fruits” of accessibility?

These are easy-to-implement measures that quickly bring improvements, e.g. adjusting colors, adding alt texts or optimizing keyboard navigation.

What are the consequences of non-compliance? 

From June 28, 2025, many companies will have to make their digital products accessible. Companies that do not meet the requirements of the BFSG risk warnings or lawsuits. Penalties can amount to up to €100,000 and, in the worst case, the service could be shut down. Authorities and consumer protection organizations can report violations and impose sanctions.

Can I get certified with you?

No, we do not offer or endorse certifications. A certification is only a snapshot in time and can change again with every change or new feature on the website. Furthermore, there is no legal obligation for certification. 

More important than a certificate is the continuous removal of barriers.

How can I integrate accessibility sustainably?

Accessibility should be incorporated into the development process at an early stage with the help of e.g. training of developers, designers and editors, regular testing with assistive technologies, automated and manual checks during development.
