Getting Ready for the European Accessibility Act: A Guide to Inclusive Digital Experiences


Getting ready for the European Accessibility Act: A guide to inclusive digital experiences


The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is coming into force on 28 June 2025, and it’s set to change how businesses think about digital accessibility in the EU. The regulation aims to make digital services, from websites to mobile apps, more accessible to everyone, particularly people with disabilities.

If your business operates in the EU or serves EU citizens, now’s the time to start preparing.

Why it matters
The EAA will introduce a consistent set of rules for accessibility across the EU, replacing the patchwork of national laws that currently exist. It’s part of a wider effort to promote equality and remove barriers for the 135 million people with disabilities living in Europe.

But this isn’t just about compliance. It’s also a chance to improve user experience and build more inclusive digital products.

Who needs to act
The EAA applies to a wide range of businesses, from e-commerce platforms to financial services. If your product or service falls into any of the following categories, it’s worth reviewing your accessibility efforts now:

Even if you're based outside the EU, you’ll still need to comply if your services reach EU customers.

What accessibility really brings
This isn’t just a box to tick. Making your digital products more accessible improves things for all users. Here’s how:

Getting ready
To improve accessibility across your digital platforms, here are some practical steps to take:

Don’t wait
Non-compliance isn’t just a legal risk. It can damage your reputation and cause you to lose users who expect more from digital experiences today.

A chance to do better
The EAA is a push towards a more inclusive web—but it’s also an opportunity. By investing in accessibility now, you’ll not only meet the upcoming regulations, you’ll improve the overall quality and reach of your digital products.

The deadline is approaching, but there’s still time. Start now, and use accessibility as a tool to build a stronger, more user-friendly experience for everyone.
