👉 Back to basics: What’s web accessibility, and why does it matter?   Web accessibility means designing your site so everyone, including people with disabilities, can use and enjoy it. This includes features like alt text for images, keyboard navigation, and screen reader compatibility.   We have standards like WCAG and laws like the ADA to ensure accessibility for all. Non-compliance isn't just about missing out on inclusivity—it can also lead to legal consequences and damage your brand’s reputation.   Let's make the internet a more inclusive place for everyone.

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) takes effect in June 2025 and requires private-sector products and services, including websites, to be accessible to persons with disabilities. Any company that does business in the EU – even if you're based elsewhere – must comply with it. One of the most important things to know is that accessibility overlay tools, in their current form, are not an acceptable way to achieve EAA compliance. If your organization needs to comply with the new law, here are the five things you need to do immediately to ensure you achieve compliance in time.

Website accessibility gives me the power to navigate websites with my screen reader, as a blind person I need this assistive technology to work for me so I can use websites just like a person with sight. The screen reader reads everything out loud to me but if the website is not programed properly my screen reader will not work so I have to ask for help from someone else. I love an accessible website and thank you accessiBe for fixing websites that are not accessible. Everyone, please make your website accessible.

Technical elements are described in layman’s terms, and, as a rule, all topics pertaining to the legalities of web accessibility are presented in as simplified a manner as possible. This blog has no legal bearing, and cannot be relied on in the case of litigation. 16% of the world’s population, including 28.7% of adult Americans, live with some form of disability.  At the same time, the vast majority of websites, web-based applications, and online environments in general are either partially or fully inaccessible to members of the various disability communities. Businesses and organizations, regardless of size and industry, are now able to leverage powerful AI-driven technologies to help remedy this situation, and adjust their websites so that they are inclusive to all potential customers, regardless of ability.  And, as it turns out, embarking on an accessibility journey brings with it a number of significant benefits and advantages, as well. In this blog, we will examine the benefits that come with making a true commitment to accessibility and inclusivity. We will show what businesses can stand to gain from implementing web accessibility tools and solutions within their websites and digital assets, and show the legal risk they will be mitigating by doing so.  To learn more visit www.accessibe.com/blog #Websiteaccessibility #Disability #websites #Accessibility #Marketing #developers
