In Europe, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) defines the accessibility requirements for both private and public sector. Since June 2025, most digital products and services in must be accessible. From a technical perspective, compliance is based on WCAG 2.1 Level AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).

Because manually updating large websites takes significant time and resources, early optimization is essential. Starting early helps you meet the requirements on time and avoid legal and liability risks.

Accessibility, traditional search engine optimization (SEO), and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) all pursue the same goal: content must be easy for machines to read, understand, and interpret, whether those machines are Google bots, AI models, or screen readers.

• Visibility in AI answers (GEO): Modern AI search engines favor clearly structured, semantically correct content. Accessibility-optimized pages are easier for AI systems to process and more likely to be surfaced as trusted sources in generated answers.

• Stronger rankings (SEO): Clean HTML, meaningful alt text, and logical heading hierarchies improve crawlability. Google also increasingly treats accessibility as a quality signal for user experience.

• Higher conversion rates: Accessible navigation and clear, readable content reduce cognitive load for all users. This lowers bounce rates, increases time on site, and removes friction from the conversion and checkout process.

Manual code fixes or the hands-on remediation of thousands of PDF documents can indeed consume significant time and resources. That’s exactly why Eye-Able was built to scale accessibility.

With AI-powered tools and smart automation, even highly complex enterprise infrastructures can be optimized efficiently. Eye-Able dramatically reduces implementation effort, allowing your team to stay focused on core business priorities while accessibility and long-term compliance are handled in the background.

Eye-Able delivers a holistic accessibility solution that goes far beyond simple, individual tools. We combine powerful audit software, AI-driven remediation, and hands-on assistance tool, all in one scalable platform.

• In-depth analysis: Eye-Able scans your websites, web apps, and digital documents to detect barriers in both code and content. You get precise, data-driven insights and clear, actionable recommendations to fix issues efficiently.

• True end-to-end coverage: We support your entire digital ecosystem, from websites and complex web apps to native apps tested manually. Eye-Able also analyzes PDFs according to the PDF/UA standard and checks video content for missing subtitles or audio descriptions.

• Built to scale: Our solutions grow with your organization, from mid-sized businesses to international enterprises managing hundreds of domains.

• Expert support & guidance: You’re not on your own. Our accessibility experts support you from the first analysis onward with tailored advice and technical assistance, helping you achieve and maintain long-term accessibility across all systems.

The often-cited transition period until 2030 usually does not apply. In practice, it’s tied to very strict conditions:

• The exemption only applies to systems that have remained completely unchanged since June 2025. As soon as you add new features, adjust the design, or apply CMS updates, this protection ends immediately, and your website must meet current accessibility requirements.

• Any service concluded today, such as a purchase in an online shop or a user registration, must already be accessible. A non-accessible checkout process therefore represents an immediate legal risk.

• From January 2026 onward, market surveillance authorities will systematically review the legally required accessibility documentation. Organizations that can’t provide this documentation risk significant fines, regardless of the 2030 deadline.

In short: waiting is rarely an option. Accessibility needs to be addressed now to stay compliant and reduce risk.

Yes, and that’s one of the biggest advantages of Eye-Able. Many organizations worry that accessibility will limit their design or branding. With Eye-Able, technical barriers can be optimized in the background, such as code structure, contrast, and usability, without changing your visual identity.

In addition, Eye-Able Assist allows users to personalize the interface to their individual needs, while your original design remains intact for the broader audience. This way, you improve accessibility without sacrificing brand consistency or design quality.

Accessibility isn’t a one-time project, it’s an ongoing process. Especially in larger organizations, new content and PDFs are added daily, often by many different editors. Eye-Able prevents accessibility from slowly eroding by continuously monitoring your website.

Automated monitoring tools regularly scan your digital content and flag new issues in real time. This way, accessibility standards are maintained even as your website evolves without adding extra workload for your teams.
