EAA conformance: audit, remediate, maintain.

I help EU mid-market sites pursue and maintain European Accessibility Act (EAA) conformance. Three products, scope-based pricing, a fixed quote in writing before you sign. Everything else — overlays, VPATs, monitoring SaaS, AI a11y audits, document tooling — I refer to people who run those products well.

Recommendations come from what I've built, not what I've read.

Free tool

Scan your site for accessibility issues.

Enter a URL. The scanner runs the same axe-core engine the audit uses, surfaces violations against WCAG 2.2 and EN 301 549, and gives you the same kind of finding shape the deliverable carries — minus the manual screen-reader passes, contrast review, and SC enumeration table. Use it as a first read; book the audit when you want the full picture.

Why now

The European Accessibility Act has been enforceable since 28 June 2025. Member states have designated competent authorities and published penalty frameworks; the regulatory layer is no longer theoretical.

France — Arcom

Arcom is the designated monitoring authority for the EAA in France and maintains a public register of operator decisions. The DGCCRF acts as the market-surveillance authority and can impose administrative sanctions on non-compliant operators.

Germany — BFSG

The Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz entered into force on 28 June 2025. Federal guidance sets out scope and penalty bands; under § 37 BFSG administrative fines reach €100,000 for serious or repeated violations.

Netherlands — Implementatiewet

The Netherlands transposed the EAA via the Implementatiewet toegankelijkheidsvoorschriften producten en diensten. A published accessibility statement is required for every in-scope digital service.
