Web accessibility audit: the European Accessibility Act is now mandatory.
Does your site comply? Analyze it for free and see instantly where you stand.
01 · What's out there
The EAA has been mandatory since June 2025. And most of the sites I review don't comply.
The European Accessibility Act (EU Directive 2019/882) requires e-commerce, banking, telecoms, transport and other digital services to meet WCAG 2.1 level AA. Micro-enterprises providing services (fewer than 10 employees and up to €2M turnover) are exempt.
Fines depend on severity, sector and repeat offences, and in serious cases they are high. And it doesn't take an inspection: a single user complaint is enough.
Beyond the law: an accessible site reaches more people and is easier for everyone to use. And it shares its technical foundations with SEO: well-structured HTML, alt text and clear headings.
Auditing costs much less than a fine. And far less than rewriting the site later.

- Full keyboard navigation and visible focus

05 · Frequently asked questions
What people ask me before taking it seriously.
What exactly is the EAA?
Directive (EU) 2019/882, mandatory since 28 June 2025. In Spain it is transposed by Law 11/2023. It requires digital services to meet WCAG 2.1 level AA.
Does my site have to comply?
If you sell products or services online (e-commerce, banking, transport, telecoms, paid training, bookings...), most likely yes. Important exception: micro-enterprises providing services (fewer than 10 employees and up to €2M annual turnover) are exempt. Public sector sites have been required to comply since 2018. If in doubt, check with your legal adviser; I'll handle the technical side.
What are the penalties?
They depend on severity, sector and repeat offences: the law refers to the general accessibility penalty regime, and in serious cases fines are high. Check your specific case with your adviser. The reputational damage usually hurts more than the fine.
What is WCAG 2.1 AA?
The W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Level AA is the one required by law and includes 50 criteria organized into 4 principles: perceivable, operable, understandable and robust. It's not a matter of opinion: it's documented and auditable.
Can I fix the issues myself?
Yes. The report explains what and how. If you prefer I do it, quote separately: semantic HTML, ARIA, contrast, forms, keyboard. It's technical work that fits with what I've been doing for years.
Do you do audits for agencies?
Yes, white-label. I deliver the report to you and never talk to your client. If you then want me to fix things, I do that behind the scenes too.
Does your site comply with the EAA?
The accessibility audit tells you what doesn't comply, what priority each item has and how to fix it. If you'd rather start with no commitment, the free analysis is one click away.
