Accessibility
Should your website be legally accessible?
No worries - with our help, this is a hassle-free duty for you!
Website accessibility means that the website is accessible to all of us on an equal basis. So accessibility is like accessibility in public offices! Website accessibility includes ease of use, comprehensibility and technical implementation. We can help you with all of these!

What is accessibility?
Ease of use
The website must be easy to use and clear, both in terms of colour and structure. The easiest way to achieve this is for us to work together: we take care of the technology and the framework, all you need to do is provide us with clear text and images for the site. In addition, we will provide you with a report and guidance on how to keep the site accessible.
Understandability
Fonts, contrast, responsiveness - among other things - all need to be taken into account for an accessible website, but with us you don't have to worry about them. All you have to do is produce clear material for your website or provide the main points of your services to our content producer, who will do the work for you.
Technical implementation
The website you access can be used not only with the mouse, but also with the keyboard or listened to with a reader. We also make your website work with different assistive devices, taking into account how navigation works in different environments. Jump links, keyboard traps, etc. - leave these to us!
Accessibility statement
The website must have an accessibility statement that follows the EU model. We will guide you to get it right and display it on the site - you are responsible for the accessibility of your site and we will help you to fulfil your obligation as easily as possible!
Accessible pages are expensive
Not necessarily! When we design your site's layout and technology from start to finish, we can focus on technical accessibility right from the start. This avoids time (and money!) consuming changes after the fact. We'll provide you with an accessibility report that will help you know how to maintain your site so that it meets accessibility standards in the future.
The Digital Services Act obliges you to
The Digital Services Act contains three requirements that a website must meet:
- The content must meet accessibility requirements.
- The accessibility of the content and its shortcomings should be presented accessibility leaflet.
- The service must include an electronic feedback channel.
The law applies to all public services, public institutions, but also to some companies, foundations, associations and other bodies. In addition, the law also applies to online shops and book services, subject to certain restrictions.
