Accessible website development.
What makes a website accessible
Accessible means: your website works for everyone — including with a keyboard, with a screen reader or with limited vision. I implement the requirements of WCAG 2.1 Level AA (the technical basis the EAA builds on) in code: clean, semantic HTML, sufficient contrast, visible focus, labeled form fields and full operability without a mouse.

Reliable hosting
Hosting comes from the same hand — servers in Germany, GDPR-compliant, maintenance and security included. That keeps your accessible site technically clean and up to date after launch, too.
Speed & visibility
Accessibility and good findability go hand in hand: clean, semantic HTML helps screen readers AND Google. I set both up together — fast load times, clear structure, measurable with Lighthouse, axe and Search Console.
Long-term care
Accessibility is not a one-off tick box — new content has to stay accessible too. After launch I keep your site accessible and up to date, as your fixed point of contact.
Who the accessibility obligation applies to
In the EU, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) has applied since 28 June 2025; Germany implements it as the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG). It mainly affects websites and apps with e-commerce, online booking or contract conclusion in consumer business.
Micro-enterprises (fewer than 10 employees and under €2 million turnover) are partly exempt for services — but accessibility pays off anyway: wider reach, better usability, better SEO. In the EU, non-compliance can also trigger cease-and-desist letters and fines. Outside the EU there are separate regimes — the ADA and Section 508 in the US, the AODA in Ontario, the Disability Discrimination Act in Australia, the Equality Act in the UK; I don't advise on those, I build the technical accessibility itself. Whether you are affected specifically, I'll assess honestly in a first call (this does not replace legal advice).
What does an accessible website cost?
| Service | Investment | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility audit | €1,200–2,900 | WCAG 2.1 AA review (automated + manual + screen reader test) with a concrete action report — creditable against the implementation. |
| Retrofit of an existing site | €3,500–9,000 | Contrast, focus, semantics, alt text, keyboard operability + accessibility statement — depending on scope and condition. |
| New accessible website | from €5,500 | Built to WCAG 2.1 AA from the ground up — including custom design, code and accessibility statement. |
