The Problem

Your EU Customers Hit Accessibility Barriers Your Team Hasn't Tested

It shows up when EU orders grow, a customer complaint mentions accessibility, or your legal team asks whether the European Accessibility Act covers your store or app.

  1. Mouse-only options

    Size and color selectors fail without a mouse.

    Mouse-only options

    Product options rebuilt as real controls for keyboards and screen readers.

  2. Silent errors

    Checkout errors show in red, and nobody hears them.

    Silent errors

    Error messages are announced and tied to the field that caused them.

  3. Missing information

    Your terms say nothing about how the service is accessible.

    Missing information

    We draft the accessibility information page the Act asks you to publish.

  4. Checklist overload

    Ten generic EAA checklists, none matched to your store.

    Checklist overload

    One gap list mapped to EN 301 549 and ranked by user impact.

A customer in France tries to buy from your store with a screen reader and gets stuck on a size selector that only works with a mouse. Your checkout error messages appear in red text that nothing announces. Since June 28, 2025, that journey falls under EU accessibility rules, and your terms say nothing about accessibility. Your team found ten different EAA checklists online, none written for your store. Meanwhile, your EU revenue keeps growing.

We start by confirming you're covered: what you sell, who buys it, and whether you qualify as a microenterprise. Then we test your consumer journey, from product pages to checkout and account, against EN 301 549, which maps to WCAG 2.1 AA for web content. Failures get fixed in your theme or app code and retested, and we write the accessibility information the Act expects you to publish. You get conformance work, not a legal opinion.

  • Scope checked first

    Covered service, microenterprise exemption, and B2B questions answered before any testing starts.

  • Tested against EN 301 549

    Your buying journey checked against the web clauses, which map to WCAG 2.1 AA.

  • Accessibility information written

    The page describing how your service meets the requirements, ready to link from your terms.

Our European Accessibility Act Compliance Process

From Scope Check to Published Accessibility Information in Five Steps

You agree on the scope, pick the journey we test, approve each code change on a preview, and read the accessibility information before it's published.

  1. We look at what you sell, who buys it, where, and your company size. You learn whether the Act likely covers your service and get a fixed price. If you sell only to businesses or qualify as a microenterprise, we'll tell you before we quote.

Projects We've Built

Stores, a travel booking platform, and an investment site our team built. They weren't EAA projects, but product pages, checkouts, and bookings like these are what the Act covers.

What's Included

What You Get Beyond an EAA Accessibility Checklist

A scope review, a hands-on test of your consumer journey, code fixes with retests, your accessibility information page, and a watch list for the WCAG 2.2 update.

  • Scope and exemption review

    A plain answer on whether your service is covered, including the microenterprise and B2B questions.

  • Consumer journey gap test

    Product, cart, checkout, account, and help pages tested by keyboard and screen reader on desktop and mobile.

  • Results mapped to EN 301 549

    Each finding tied to its EN 301 549 clause and WCAG 2.1 criterion, ranked by user impact.

  • Code fixes and retest

    Failures fixed in your theme or app on a preview, then retested before release.

  • Accessibility information page

    The description of how your service meets the requirements, written from real test results.

  • WCAG 2.2 watch list

    The 2.2 criteria your site would need once the newer EN 301 549 version becomes the legal reference.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from teams we have built websites, stores, and apps for.

We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture

Why EU-Facing Companies Trust Us With Their Accessibility Work

Your EU customers judge your store by whether they can buy from it. These habits keep the work focused on what the Act covers and what your customers actually use.

  • Scope before spend

    Some companies are exempt as microenterprises, and B2B-only services sit outside the consumer rules. We check that before you pay for any testing.

  • Tested the way customers shop

    We buy something on your store by keyboard and screen reader, on desktop and phone. Automated scans back that up but don't replace it.

  • Fixes in code, not overlays

    We change the theme and app code behind your product options and checkout. Overlays can conflict with the screen readers your customers already use.

  • Developers, not lawyers

    Enforcement and penalties are set by each EU country. We do conformance work and say so plainly, so you know when to bring in counsel.

  • Watching the 2.2 update

    EN 301 549 V4.1.1 moved to WCAG 2.2 in September 2026, but it isn't the legal reference yet. We flag 2.2 gaps now, so the switch won't surprise you.

  • Every storefront language checked

    If you run German or French storefronts, we check that each version declares its language, so screen readers pronounce your content correctly.

Good fit

  • US stores selling into the EU

    Your Shopify or WooCommerce store ships to Germany, France, and the Netherlands, and EU orders are now a real share of revenue.

  • Consumer apps and subscriptions

    You sell a consumer app or subscription to people in the EU, and you aren't sure whether the Act covers your service.

  • Travel and ticketing sites

    Your site sells bus, rail, ferry, or flight tickets to EU travelers, and nobody has tested the booking flow with a screen reader.

  • E-book and banking services

    You sell e-books or consumer banking services in the EU, and your reading app or online banking needs an accessibility check.

  • Agencies with EU-facing clients

    Your agency builds stores for clients selling into Europe, and they need European Accessibility Act requirements met before the next release.

Not a fit

  • B2B-only service

    You sell only to businesses, not to consumers. The Act's service rules cover consumer services, so WCAG Audit Services is a cheaper starting point.

  • Microenterprise services

    You have fewer than 10 staff and annual turnover under EUR 2 million, so the service rules likely exempt you. A basic WCAG audit still helps your customers.

  • Need a legal opinion

    You need a lawyer to confirm your obligations in each EU country. We do conformance work, not legal advice, so start with EU counsel.

  • US-focused Shopify store

    Your store sells mainly in the US and needs theme fixes. Shopify ADA Compliance covers the same buying path for US accessibility risk.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on cost, timelines, what the Act is, who it covers, dates, B2B, WCAG, website requirements, and languages.

  • European Accessibility Act compliance work from DeveloperLook starts at $1,100. That covers a scope review and an EN 301 549 gap test of up to 8 templates. The $2,850 plan adds code fixes, a published information page, and a full retest. The $5,600 plan covers up to 30 templates, 10 app screens, and a WCAG 2.2 readiness review.

  • The scope check takes 1 to 2 days and the gap test 1 to 2 weeks. Fixes and a retest add 2 to 5 weeks for most stores, so 3 to 10 weeks covers most projects. Custom product builders, third-party checkouts, and mobile apps take the longest, and we flag them in the free scope check.

  • The European Accessibility Act is EU Directive 2019/882, which sets accessibility requirements for certain products and services sold to consumers. It covers ecommerce, consumer banking, e-books, electronic communications, audiovisual media access, and parts of passenger transport. Products like computers, phones, and ticket machines are covered too. Each EU country turned it into national law, applying from June 28, 2025.

  • European Accessibility Act (EAA) compliance means your covered product or service meets the accessibility requirements in the Act's Annex I. For websites and apps, the usual proof is conforming to EN 301 549. The EAA compliance requirements also ask service providers to publish information on how the service meets those requirements, usually in their terms or an equivalent document.

  • The European Accessibility Act applies from June 28, 2025, to covered services provided to EU consumers. Service contracts agreed before that date can continue unchanged until they expire, but no later than June 28, 2030. EU countries may also let existing self-service terminals stay in use for up to 20 years after they went into service.

  • The European Accessibility Act applies to companies that sell covered products or provide covered services to consumers in the EU, wherever the company is based. That includes a US store shipping to EU customers. Microenterprises that provide services, with fewer than 10 staff and turnover or balance sheet under EUR 2 million, are exempt from the service rules.

  • No, not to services sold only to businesses: the Act's service rules cover services provided to consumers. If consumers can also buy from you, the consumer-facing service is in scope, even when most of your revenue is B2B. Some products, such as self-service terminals, are covered regardless of who buys them.

  • The Act itself doesn't name WCAG, but its harmonised standard, EN 301 549 V3.2.1, maps web content to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. So the European Accessibility Act WCAG target today is 2.1 AA. Version 4.1.1 of EN 301 549, published in September 2026, moves to WCAG 2.2, but it isn't the legal reference until it's cited in the EU's Official Journal.

  • The European Accessibility Act website requirements say your site must be perceivable, operable, and understandable for people with disabilities, and work with assistive technology. In practice, the EAA accessibility requirements mean keyboard access, text alternatives, enough contrast, clear error messages, and screen reader support across the buying journey. You also publish information on how your service meets them.

  • The Act sets no EU-wide language for the accessibility information service providers publish. Each EU country's own law can add language rules, and product instructions must be in a language that country chooses. In practice, publish your accessibility information in the languages your storefront already uses, and check national rules with counsel where you sell most.
