Accessible Website Development
WCAG 2.1 AA websites and accessibility remediation of existing sites — for public bodies, municipalities and businesses. So your site works for visitors who are blind or have low vision, who use only a keyboard, or who are simply older.
Who needs it?
No longer just “nice to have”
For many organisations accessibility is now a legal requirement — and for everyone else it means more customers, and a structure that Google understands better too.
Public sector & municipalities
Under the EU Web Accessibility Directive, public sector websites must be accessible and publish an accessibility statement. I have a dedicated municipal website package for this.
Businesses under the EAA
Since 28 June 2025 the European Accessibility Act (EAA) also covers certain products and services — e-commerce among them. Services provided by microenterprises are exempt.
Everyone else
Even when it isn't mandatory, it pays off: a well-built accessible site is easier for everyone to use, on mobile too, and its structure is easier for Google to understand.
This is general information, not legal advice. If you're unsure whether the obligation applies to your organisation, check with a lawyer — I'll take care of the technical side.
What I do
From audit to statement
I don't bolt a plugin onto your site — I fix the code and the content, because that is what conformance actually takes.
Accessibility audit
Automated and manual testing against WCAG 2.1 AA, with keyboard and screen reader. You get a prioritised report with recommended fixes.
Remediation of an existing site
Fixing what the audit found, in the code: contrast, heading structure, form labels, focus handling, alternative text, keyboard-friendly menus.
New accessible website
When fixing the old site isn't worth it, I build a new one that follows WCAG 2.1 AA from the first line — no patching afterwards.
Website development →Accessibility statement
Based on the audit, I prepare the technical content of your statement: what conforms, what doesn't yet, and when it will be fixed.
Editor guide
New content breaks accessibility easily. Your editors get a short, practical guide and training: images, links, tables, documents.
Ongoing monitoring
With a maintenance plan I re-check the site regularly, so it stays accessible after launch day too.
Maintenance →In the audit
What I check
Keyboard use
Every menu, button and form works without a mouse, and you can always see where the focus is.
Screen readers
The page makes sense read aloud: headings, link text, image descriptions, form labels, error messages.
Contrast & colour
Text has enough contrast against its background, and information is never conveyed by colour alone.
Zoom & mobile
Readable at 200% zoom and on narrow screens, without horizontal scrolling.
Motion & time limits
Animations and sliders can be paused, and there's enough time to fill in a form.
Documents & media
Text alternatives for downloadable PDFs, videos and images — often the biggest gap in the public sector.
Pricing
Starting prices
The final price depends on the size of the site and the number of issues. After the free quick check you get a fixed price in writing.
Accessibility audit
From €130
Evaluation and a detailed report with recommended fixes, for a smaller site.
Remediation
From €520
Audit plus fixing the issues on your existing site, with a re-check and statement preparation.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an official accessibility certificate?
There is no official certificate a website simply “gets”. Conformance is demonstrated by an evaluation against WCAG 2.1 AA: the audit gives you a detailed report, and the accessibility statement is based on it. If someone promises a certificate, ask what exactly they mean.
Isn't an accessibility plugin or widget enough?
No. Accessibility overlays don't fix the underlying problems in the code — missing form labels, a broken heading structure or a menu you can't reach by keyboard — and screen reader users often find them more of a hindrance. Conformance comes from fixing the code and the content.
How long does an accessibility audit take?
For a smaller site of 5–15 pages, typically 3–5 working days. I sample each page type (home, content pages, forms, documents), test them with automated tools and by hand, and you get a report ordered by priority.
Who is required to have an accessible website?
In the EU, public sector bodies — including municipalities — under the Web Accessibility Directive (2016/2102), which also requires publishing an accessibility statement. Since 28 June 2025 the European Accessibility Act (EAA) also covers certain products and services of businesses, such as e-commerce. Services provided by microenterprises are exempt.
