This doesn’t affect us
Not sure if EAA 2025 applies to your business? We break down the most common misconceptions - and show why early action can protect your brand and unlock real value.
But our code is perfect
Our site scores 100 in Lighthouse
Lighthouse doesn’t test screen reader experience, semantics, or real user journeys.
We use a template/CMS - it’s already accessible
Even if your CMS (like WordPress or Shopify) supports accessibility, your content, design, and customizations may violate WCAG.
We implemented WCAG a few years ago
WCAG 2.1 and EAA 2025 require ongoing maintenance. Content, design, and tech constantly evolve.
It limits design options
Good design can be both aesthetic and accessible. Inclusive design = modern UX.
We only have a mobile app, not a website
The law applies to both websites and mobile apps.
We don’t use video or complex features
Even a simple text site can fail WCAG (e.g., poor contrast, bad structure, or lack of focus visibility).
The law doesn’t apply to us
This doesn’t concern us - we’re a small company
Businesses with fewer than 10 employees and under €2M in annual revenue may be exempt - but working with large or public clients will require EAA compliance.
We don’t operate in the EU
Even if you’re not based in the EU, the law applies to anyone offering goods or services to EU users.
We don’t have users with disabilities
You likely just don’t know it. An estimated 1 in 5 users has limitations - from temporary injuries to aging or low vision.
We’ve received no complaints
That doesn’t mean there are no issues. Most users just leave inaccessible sites without saying a word.
We don’t have the resources
Our contractors handle this
But have you checked their reports? Under the EAA, your company, not the vendor, is liable.
It’s not a priority
An audit takes just one week - fines and loss of trust can last much longer
We don’t have time for this
Fixing issues early saves time and resources later. An accessibility audit is a fast first step.
It’s too expensive
Not true - an initial audit can cost under €1,000, while fines can reach €100,000. Accessibility also boosts conversions and retention.
It’s too complicated
We offer a step-by-step plan: from express audit to strategic implementation. Everything is transparent.
