Digital accessibility

Digital accessibility: make your website and apps inclusive and future-proof. Accessible websites and apps provide a better user experience for everyone. Take the step towards inclusivity and expand your reach with our auditing expertise!

What is digital accessibility?

Digital accessibility means that websites, apps and digital documents are usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. It means that people with visual, hearing, motor or cognitive impairments can perceive, understand, operate and navigate digital content without obstacles.

The benefits of digitally accessible environments:

  • Greater accessibility and therefore more users
  • Legal compliance, thus risk mitigation
  • Improved user experience (UX)
  • Higher ranking in search engines (SEO benefits)
  • Social responsibility

Accessibility standards and regulations

Digital accessibility is not only important for a better user experience, but also legally mandatory. Our audits are based on the main guidelines:

WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines)

The WCAG guidelines are the international standard for digital accessibility, created by the W3C. They define how websites and apps should be accessible to people with disabilities. The guidelines are divided into three levels: A (basic), AA (standard) and AAA (advanced). Many laws, such as the European Accessibility Act (EEA), require compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA.

EEA (European Accessibility Act)

From 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) requires companies to make their digital products and services accessible. This includes online shops, banks, e-books, mobile apps and ticketing platforms. Organisations that fail to comply risk fines and legal sanctions. We audit websites and applications based on the WCAG-EM (Evaluation Method) and help companies comply with EEA legislation. Our audits identify bottlenecks and offer concrete solutions to improve accessibility.

What is an audit, and how do we do it?

Our digital accessibility audits are conducted on the basis of applicable laws and regulations. We go through all relevant domains and subdomains of your digital environment to get a complete overview of accessibility. The aim of the audit is to identify bottlenecks that do not comply with legal standards and guidelines. After the audit, you will receive a detailed report with our findings and concrete recommendations to improve digital accessibility so that your website or app is user-friendly for everyone. After adjustments, it is possible to have a retest carried out by us to objectively establish that the accessibility of the digital environment in question meets the requirements.

 

‘One-stop shop’ through joining forces

auticon Netherlands has formed a strategic partnership with Digitaal Toegankelijk, a leading consultancy specialising in digital accessibility. Together, we combine in-depth WCAG expertise with an inclusive approach to help organisations make their digital platforms accessible to all. Besides auditing and consulting, we also offer training courses and workshops to increase accessibility knowledge within organisations. In short, a complete package of services.

The cooperation between auticon Netherlands and Digitaal Toegankelijk is rooted in a shared social mission: to promote inclusion and accessibility in the (digital) world. Whereas auticon focuses on neuro-inclusion, especially by deploying neurodivergent IT professionals, Digitaal Toegankelijk aims to make digital environments accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. Thus, the joining of forces forms a unique collaboration that offers inclusive solutions with substantial social impact.

 

Quality guaranteed

Our audits are carried out by neurodivergent specialists with an exceptional eye for detail and analytical ability. This allows us not only to accurately identify accessibility problems, but also to provide immediately implementable, practical solutions. We work closely with your team to implement improvements effectively and continue to support with re-checks and ongoing monitoring.

Thanks to our partnership with Digitally Accessible, we help organisations comply even better with the European Accessibility Act (EEA) and WCAG-EM. In this way, we minimise legal risks and contribute to an inclusive digital society.
