For e-commerce selling into the EU
The EAA deadline already passed. Quietly get ahead of it.
The European Accessibility Act has applied to e-commerce since 28 June 2025[4]. Enforcement is no longer theoretical — French courts have ordered major retailers to make their sites accessible under daily penalty, and German fines reach €100,000. If you sell to EU consumers, the sensible move isn't panic; it's a baseline you can trust.

The practical order of operations
Audit a representative sample of your store — every finding proven, so your developer fixes real issues, not scanner noise.
Critical keyboard and labeling issues first. Most fixes are small; the log tells your developer exactly what and where.
An accessibility statement is expected practice under the EAA — we draft it as part of every audit; you review and publish.
Re-test after remediation (25%), then monthly monitoring builds a dated record of continuous improvement — useful, whoever asks.
