Websites & online presence
Accessibility
Usable by everyone, and in many cases mandatory from 2025
What this is about
Since June 2025, the German Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (accessibility act) has applied to many online services. Obligation aside, anything that is easy to use sells better. We check and fix whatever stands in the way.

Frequent questions
This is what we are often asked.
Does the law apply to us?
For many consumer-facing services, yes; micro-enterprises are partly exempt. We clarify this case by case.
Does an accessible site look dull?
No. Good design and accessibility do not rule each other out; they just force clear decisions.
What does retrofitting cost?
Less than many think, if the basic structure is sound. The audit report shows the effort beforehand.
