Create an accessible website

Advantages of accessible websites

Those who focus on accessibility improve their own websites. Not just for a few, but for everyone—including their own companies. Accessibility is increasingly becoming a decisive competitive advantage on the web.

Legal protection

With the Accessibility Enhancement Act (BFSG) coming into force on June 28, 2025, accessibility will be a legal requirement for many providers. Working closely with your legal department, we will make your website accessible to protect you from warnings and heavy fines. This will also apply in the future: even companies that are not currently affected by the BFSG could soon be – a timely amendment to the law cannot be ruled out.

Increased visibility

In Germany alone, around 13 million people live with a recognized disability. But many more people benefit from accessible services: older users, people with temporary limitations (e.g., after an accident), as well as users with little technical experience or language barriers. Making content accessible to everyone increases your reach and opens up new target groups.

Improved user experience

A barrier-free website is more user-friendly, reduces frustration, increases the length of time visitors stay on the site, and also improves its ranking on search engines such as Google or Bing. This is because accessibility does not just mean screen reader compatibility; it also requires clear navigation, logical page structures, good readability, sufficient contrast, understandable language, and optimization for mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets.
