3 Phases of accessibility implementation

To ensure full compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA and the EAA 2025, accessibility must be treated as a structured, step-by-step process. Our 3-phase approach helps teams build a sustainable and legally compliant digital experience:

Discovery
Assess the current state of the website’s accessibility.

Tactical
Align the website with WCAG 2.1 AA standards.

Strategic
Ensure long-term compliance with EAA 2025.

Discovery phase

Assess the current state of the website’s accessibility, identify compliance gaps, and prioritize critical issues for immediate resolution.

Accessibility audit

A rapid accessibility check of key website pages to identify major compliance issues.

Issue report

A structured list of detected issues categorized by impact and urgency (Critical, Serious, Moderate).

Fixes roadmap

A prioritized action plan outlining what needs to be fixed, by whom, and in what order.

Strategic call

A live session with our experts to review the findings and plan your accessibility roadmap toward EAA 2025 compliance.

Result: a clear understanding of the website’s current state and a roadmap for accessibility improvements.

Accessibility audit

More about the audit

Tactical phase

Remove identified accessibility barriers, conduct comprehensive testing across all pages, and align the website with WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Use an accessibility checklist during this phase to verify all compliance requirements are met.

Fixing critical issues:

Removes key barriers and ensures the site meets at least a basic level of accessibility.

Allows testers to focus on real issues rather than recurring problems.

Reduces costs for further testing and speeds up the accessibility implementation process.

Improves UX early on, positively impacting team efficiency and user satisfaction.

Testing all website pages
Fixing identified issues
Conducting a final audit considering all fixes

Result: the website undergoes an accessibility audit and meets WCAG 2.1 AA and EAA 2025 requirements.

Strategic phase

Establish a sustainable accessibility process within the company to prevent future violations and ensure long-term compliance with EAA 2025.

Integrating accessibility tests into the development pipeline (CI/CD)

Ensuring automated accessibility checks are part of each deployment cycle.

Using a shift-left approach

Testing accessibility at the earliest stages of development to prevent costly fixes later.

Training the team

Educating developers, designers, content managers, and QA on accessibility best practices.

Implementing continuous scanning systems

Automated monitoring to detect and address accessibility issues proactively.

Regular accessibility audits

Conducting accessibility reviews and tests after every major update.

Maintaining accessibility across all digital channels

Applying accessibility principles consistently across websites, mobile apps, and digital assets.

Result: Accessibility becomes part of the company’s strategy rather than a one-time task, ensuring ongoing compliance with EAA 2025 even after future updates.
