Is your website legally compliant?

Since 28 June 2025, the European Accessibility Act has been enforceable, and UK businesses serving EU customers must meet WCAG 2.2 AA — with penalties reaching into the millions in some jurisdictions. The UK Equality Act 2010 already required reasonable adjustments online. Most local sites quietly fail both.

What the law actually says (honestly)

The EAA applies to most digital products and services sold to EU consumers, but exempts micro-enterprises (fewer than 10 staff AND under €2m turnover) from the bulk of its requirements. The UK Equality Act has no such exemption — every UK service business is expected to make reasonable digital adjustments. We tell you exactly where you sit before quoting any work.

Beyond the law: 1 in 4 customers

Around 24% of UK adults are disabled. An inaccessible site loses bookings, sales and trust from a quarter of your potential market — and from anyone using a phone in bright sun, with one hand, or on a slow connection. Accessibility is good UX with legal benefits attached.

What WCAG 2.2 AA covers in practice

Colour contrast, keyboard navigation, alt text on meaningful images, form labels, focus indicators, no auto-playing media, captions on video, logical heading order, ARIA used correctly. Most sites fail on five or six of these — fixes are usually straightforward once identified.
