Why act now

EU Accessibility Requirements Are Now Mandatory

European Accessibility Act

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) requires public sector websites to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. National enforcement has begun, and municipalities are among the first organizations audited.

Legal Obligation

EU Directive 2016/2102 already required public sector website accessibility. The EAA expands this further. Non-compliant municipalities face formal complaints and legal action.

Public Trust

Citizens expect to access government services online. An inaccessible website excludes people with disabilities from essential services and erodes public trust.

What we check

Six categories of checks, built for municipal websites

Accessibility

WCAG 2.1 AA violations. Missing alt text, contrast failures, keyboard navigation, form labels. The things that trigger lawsuits.

Broken links

Dead pages, broken downloads, missing images. Internal and external. Every link on every page, checked.

SEO

Missing meta tags, duplicate titles, heading hierarchy problems. The basics that affect whether people find you.

Security

Mixed content, expired certificates, insecure forms. Problems that erode visitor trust and trigger browser warnings.

Performance

Slow pages, oversized images, render-blocking resources. Speed affects rankings and whether visitors stick around.

Content quality

Spelling errors, typos, outdated contact information. Small things that undermine your credibility.
