Digital inaccessibility impacts 1 in 4 users: DevAlly is making the Web accessible for all

The European Accessibility Act becomes active in June 2025, mandating compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA and EN 301 549 standards for websites and digital services.

It extends accessibility requirements to the private sector and applies to any business with at least ten staff and a turnover above €2 million. 

Accessibility requirements extend across the web, including computers and operating systems, ticketing, payment terminals, e-commerce websites, mobile apps, and more. 

Further, it applies to any business that trades in the EU. Companies headquartered outside the EU must comply with the Act if they sell goods or services within the EU.

The penalties for non-compliance will vary according to the specific country you are trading in but could include anything from fines to prison sentences. 

DevAlly’s platform enables businesses to audit and fix accessibility issues within minutes without requiring specialised expertise or outsourcing. It can schedule automated accessibility audits to track and identify issues, ensuring ongoing compliance and provides step-by-step guidance from accessibility experts to help navigate compliance requirements.
