The European Accessibility Act: An Opportunity, Not a Burden
In 2016, the EU passed the Web Accessibility Directive (WAD), requiring public sector websites and mobile apps to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. The directive was a step in the right direction but only a partial one. Private companies remained largely outside the ruling, creating a fragmented digital landscape throughout Europe where accessibility was more of a nice-to-have than a binding standard.
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) changes that. It extends accessibility obligations to all private-sector services and products throughout the EU.
For any business that sells into, or operates within the EU, failing to comply can result in fines, lawsuits, and market restrictions. But the EAA isn't just about compliance. It's a rare opportunity.
This eBook explores how to:
- Meet the EAA's requirements.
- Avoid common pitfalls.
- Build accessible experiences without comprising speed, performance, or design.
