EAA compliance

Service / EAA compliance

Your website compliant with the European Accessibility Act, in 3 weeks.

Since 28 June 2025 accessibility is a legal requirement for many websites. We bring yours up to the WCAG 2.1 AA standard — audit, fixes and accessibility statement — at a fixed price, with the date in the contract.

28.06.2025

The date the European Accessibility Act took effect in Italy. The first fines are only a matter of time.

Who it’s for

The duty applies to those who sell to consumers, online.

aE-commerce and digital services selling goods or services to consumers in the EU.
bBanks, insurers, transport, ticketing and online booking systems.
cNon-micro companies facing the first Italian fines, or already flagged for non-compliance.

What’s included

From audit to statement, all spelled out in the quote.

Full audit: automated test (Lighthouse) plus manual review — keyboard, screen reader, content.
Fixes to theme, contrast, form labels and heading structure.
Keyboard navigation and a visible focus state on every interactive element.
A published accessibility statement, the document the law requires.
A final verification audit against the WCAG 2.1 AA standard, once fixes are done.
Fixed price after the audit, delivery in 3 weeks with a contractual penalty.

How we work

Three weeks, from diagnosis to compliance.

Week 1

01

Audit

We start from the free automated test, then the manual review: keyboard, screen reader, contrast, content. By the end of the audit the price is fixed and the date is set.

Week 2

02

Fixes

We correct theme, contrast, form labels, heading hierarchy and keyboard navigation. Every barrier on the list, one by one.

Week 3

03

Statement and verification

We publish the required accessibility statement and re-run the audit to confirm WCAG 2.1 AA compliance.

Indicative timing for a business or brochure site. A large-catalogue e-commerce may take longer: we write it in the quote, with the same penalty.

Price

Frequently asked questions

Who is required to comply with the EAA? Does my company qualify?

The European Accessibility Act took effect in Italy on 28 June 2025 and covers many sites selling goods or services to consumers: e-commerce, banks, transport, digital services. Micro-enterprises providing services are exempt — fewer than 10 people and under € 2 million in annual turnover. If in doubt we check your case before signing: if you’re not required to comply, we tell you.

What fines apply in Italy?

The Italian decree sets fines of up to 5% of turnover for non-compliant services. In France the first lawsuits against large online retailers have already begun, and enforcement in Italy has just started. The sources are public: the Bird & Bird guide and the European Commission’s AccessibleEU centre (links at the bottom of the page).

What is an accessibility statement?

It’s a public document, required by the law, in which the site declares its level of compliance, any parts not yet accessible, and a contact for reporting problems. We write and publish it as part of the service: without a statement a site isn’t compliant, even if technically accessible.

Is an automated check enough to be compliant?

No, and it’s fair to say so plainly. An automated test like our free tool catches roughly a third of the WCAG criteria: what a machine can measure. The rest — keyboard navigation, screen-reader experience, content clarity — can only be checked by hand. That’s why the manual audit is the core of this service, not an add-on.

aEuropean Accessibility Act (EU Directive 2019/882), in effect in Italy since 28 June 2025.
bFines up to 5% of turnover for non-compliant services (Italian transposition).
cReference standard: WCAG 2.1 level AA.

An automated check covers part of the WCAG 2.1 AA criteria. Full compliance requires manual review, which is included in this service.
