Digital accessibility

Meeting accessibility requirements can be complex

In the wake of the EU directive on accessibility, businesses across Europe face a pressing challenge: ensuring that their digital products and services are fully compliant with the upcoming regulations. Navigating the EU directive and translating it into concrete actions can prove complex.

Compliance isn't merely a regulatory hurdle – it’s an opportunity to create exceptional digital experiences that cater to a broader audience and result in measurable business outcomes. At Futurice, we understand that accessibility goes beyond compliance, enhancing both user experiences and business innovation.

Accessibility audits

To assess the compliance level of your digital products and services against global standards like Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), our accessibility experts conduct thorough reviews to identify areas that need improvement. These audit results can be synthesized to accessibility statements.

Remediate issues

After the audit, the list of findings can be extensive. We understand development teams might already have a full backlog, so we support creating a structured plan to address them efficiently and extend your team with experts to balance the workload.
