In June 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) will come into force.
This presents the perfect opportunity to review how your website works for all users — and at Mild, we’re here to help. Together, we can create an even better experience and make sure more people can engage with what you offer, regardless of their abilities.
What does the European Accessibility Act mean?
The EAA requires digital services and products to be accessible to people with disabilities.
For websites, this means your content must meet the guidelines of WCAG 2.1, Level AA.
The directive applies to both new and existing websites — particularly if you’re planning major updates in the near future.
In short: accessibility will no longer be nice to have — it will be a legal requirement.
How can you prepare?
- Conduct an accessibility audit
Start by understanding your current position. What already works well — and where is there room for improvement? We’ll help you identify any barriers and uncover new opportunities. - Focus on what matters most
Think clear contrasts, alt text for images, and a structure that makes navigation easy for all — including keyboard and screen reader users.
- Plan for accessibility from the start
If you’re making changes or launching a new website, include accessibility in your roadmap early on. This saves time and resources down the line.
- Document your accessibility efforts
It’s good practice to have documentation showing how your website meets the requirements. We’re happy to help you prepare what you need.
Smart, stylish - and accessible
It’s easy to focus on the risks of non-compliance. But accessibility is about more than avoiding penalties — it’s about creating great experiences and reaching more people.
Accessibility doesn’t have to be difficult, expensive, or boring. It’s about making smart choices in design, structure, and code. In fact, good accessibility and great design work perfectly together.
