Accessible Websites per WCAG 2.2

Good design excludes no one.

HUMAN STRUCTURES: Several people walk down two symmetrical concrete ramps toward a bright hall, sunlight falling in angled bands through the windows above.

Digital accessibility has been legally relevant since 28 June 2025 for certain products and services and, regardless of regulation, it is an important quality marker for good digital products.

A website that is understandable, operable and technically clean works for significantly more people – and usually better for everyone. MOREMEDIA® combines automated and manual testing against the relevant WCAG criteria, prioritizes findings clearly and fixes barriers directly in design and code. We deliberately avoid blanket overlay solutions and often improve SEO and performance at the same time.

Access

Access is not a feature. It is part of good design.

What does accessibility mean on the web?

Accessibility affects contrast, structure, operation, language, keyboard navigation, screen-reader compatibility and many small technical decisions. Done properly, it helps people understand and use information and functions regardless of disability, device or input method. That is where our audits and implementation work begin.

Who is affected – and since when?

The European Accessibility Act and its national implementation apply since 28 June 2025 to defined products and services, not automatically to every corporate website. The exact scope depends on the offering, company and market. We help you understand the technical implications and required changes; that practical assessment does not replace legal advice.

What an accessibility audit gives you.

An accessibility audit shows where real barriers exist, from contrast and alternative text to keyboard operation and screen-reader behavior. Instead of a generic tool score, you receive a prioritized list of concrete issues and actions. That makes effort understandable, separates critical problems from smaller improvements and creates a realistic path to implementation.

Accessibility also improves digital quality.

Clear structures, readable contrasts, understandable interactions and clean code help more than compliance. They often improve usability, mobile experience, SEO and maintainability for everyone. Thinking about accessibility early avoids expensive retrofits and creates a website that is easier to use in more situations, for more people and on more devices.

Test. Prioritize. Fix cleanly.

We combine audits, clear prioritization, and technical implementation – with manual testing wherever automated tools fall short:

  • Accessibility audit & BFSG check: Systematic testing according to WCAG 2.2 and EN 301 549 with a prioritized list of defects.
  • Consulting & impact analysis: Clear classification of your legal obligations and the sensible next steps.
  • Accessible implementation: Fixing the defects directly in the code — clean, lasting, and without overlay tricks.
  • Accessibility statement: A reliable statement and documentation of the conformity level achieved.
  • Monitoring & re-audit: Ongoing checks so your website stays accessible even after changes.

Accessibility that becomes practically achievable.

Accessibility can't be reliably layered onto an existing website with a widget. We test the actual causes and fix them in structure, interaction, content, and code. We combine automated testing with manual checks using real assistive technologies like screen readers, keyboards, and voice control, so the result reflects a reliable overall picture, not just a green tool light. Every finding is documented in plain language and prioritized by effort and impact, so it's clear what to tackle first. Audit, consulting, and implementation come from a single source, so this doesn't turn into an ongoing construction site between multiple providers, but a clean, lasting fix directly in the source code — one that also benefits your search visibility and load times along the way. These are the reasons to make your website accessible together with MOREMEDIA®:

  • Clear audit scope defined: We first clarify which standards and legal requirements are relevant to your specific offering. No blanket legal guarantee, just a traceable technical testing framework.
  • Tested automatically and manually: Tools only catch part of the barriers. We add manual checks of keyboard, focus, structure, and typical usage paths to automated tests.
  • Priorities instead of a bug list: Findings are ranked by impact and effort. Your team gets an actionable order instead of an unannotated audit report.
  • Design and development connected: Many barriers emerge in the interplay between the two. We look at contrast, content, components, and code together instead of treating symptoms alone.
  • Existing websites realistically improved: Not every fix requires a relaunch. We distinguish quick wins, structural changes, and the limits of the current system.
  • Quality anchored for the long term: Guidelines, components, and editorial guidance help prevent new barriers. On request, we add repeat audits after changes.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to frequently asked questions about accessibility

How much does an accessibility audit cost?
That depends on the size and complexity of your website. We audit a representative selection of typical pages and processes. After a short initial consultation, you receive a transparent proposal with a clearly defined scope – usually far cheaper than fixing things later under time pressure.
Are we legally required to be accessible?
With the European Accessibility Act and its national implementation (the accessibility legislation), an obligation has applied to many companies since June 2025 – especially in e-commerce and digital services. We clarify whether you are specifically affected in an initial consultation.
Isn't an overlay tool or accessibility plugin enough?
No. Automated overlays rarely fix real barriers reliably and are under legal criticism. We resolve barriers directly in the code — that is sustainable, genuinely usable by screen readers, and legally sound.
What is the difference between WCAG, EN 301 549, and the BFSG?
The WCAG are the international technical standard, EN 301 549 is the European norm built on it, and the BFSG or Accessibility Act is the legal obligation. We audit and implement according to WCAG 2.2 (level AA) – so you meet the legal requirements.
How long does an accessibility audit take?
An audit is usually completed in one to three weeks, depending on the size of the website. We plan the subsequent implementation along the prioritized list of issues – critical points first.
Do we have to rebuild the entire website for this?
In most cases, no. Many barriers can be fixed directly in your existing website. Only when the technical foundation fundamentally stands in the way is a relaunch the smarter investment — and we'll tell you honestly.
What is an accessibility statement?
An accessibility statement publicly documents how accessible your website is, which standards are met, and how users can report problems. For many providers it's mandatory – we create it correctly and reliably.
Does MOREMEDIA® also provide ongoing accessibility support?
Yes. Every change can introduce new barriers. On request, we regularly re-audit your website, train your editorial team, and keep the achieved standard permanently stable.

Straight talk

Let's clarify your website's accessibility status.

Still have questions? You'll find answers in our FAQ. In the free, no-obligation initial consultation, we discuss your website, its functions, and possible applicability, and explain how a sensible audit is structured. Afterward, you'll get a clear assessment of testing scope, prioritization, and technical implementation. That way, we start with a clear next step instead of vague promises.
