Your digital business communication Accessible to everyone

Picture this: you notice that your new promotional video on your website is reaching your target audience. Mission accomplished! Or is it? Because what if (potential) clients cannot listen to the sound of your video due to certain circumstances? Without subtitles, they miss the message and you lose them… This is one of the many opportunities that you might miss, without even realising it. Because did you know that worldwide, one out of four people deal with a (temporary) disability? And thus may struggle to understand your message?

Barrier-free digital content

Whether it's your website, a newsletter or a company video … It definitely pays to make all your digital content accessible to everyone. By doing so, you reach more people and are legally compliant.

European Accessibility Act (EAA): are you ready?

From June 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) will come into force. This European directive requires companies to make their digital products and services accessible to everyone. Initially, the EAA will only apply to certain companies, but eventually, everyone offering online content will probably have to comply with it. Whether Europe will sanction those who violate the rules is not clear at this moment. But - better safe than sorry - by complying with the EAA, you already avoid risk and reach a lot more potential customers, prospects, employees, etc.
