Accessibility

Why is Accessibility so Important and What Digital Hurdles Are There?

Accessibility is crucial not only for reasons of inclusion, but also from an economic perspective. Studies show that accessible websites lead to higher customer satisfaction, better search engine optimization, and greater market potential.

For people with visual impairments who find it difficult or impossible to read texts with low contrast.

For deaf, deafened, and hard of hearing people who cannot understand videos without subtitles or sign language.

For non-native speakers and people with dyslexia who find complicated texts with complicated sentences difficult to understand.

For people with poor concentration or cognitive impairments who are stressed by complex and highly animated websites.

For people with physical or motor impairments due to lack of coordination, involuntary movements or paralysis, as well as missing limbs.

How an Accessibility Health Check Ensures Security

The accessibility check identifies potential barriers on websites, in stores or applications and provides a detailed report with clear recommendations for action. On request, the check can include all relevant WCAG 2.1/2.2 or BITV test steps. The combination of automated and assistive tests as well as detailed manual examinations of the source code and DOM ensures a thorough analysis. The accessibility check is available in three different expansion stages: a brief overview, a complete check, or customized.

Accessibility Reinforcement Act (BFSG)

In an increasingly digitalized world, accessible services are not just an option, but an absolute necessity. Although e-commerce websites and apps previously had no binding accessibility requirements, this is now changing fundamentally. The Barrier-Free Accessibility Reinforcement Act (BFSG) requires almost all websites and apps that map business processes and are used by consumers to be barrier-free starting on June 28, 2025.

WARM-UP
