Accessibility for Everyone (WCAG)

Accessibility for everyone – key to expanding your brand's reach and security

 

Full website accessibility (WCAG) – an obligation and an opportunity for your business

A website not compliant with WCAG guidelines not only excludes some of your clients but can also generate legal problems. We design websites compliant with WCAG guidelines, meaning they are accessible to all users, extending your brand's reach and ensuring inclusivity.

Digital accessibility – an investment in the future and your brand's responsibility

In today's online world, digital accessibility is no longer an option but a necessity and a strategic business element. A website that is not compliant with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) not only creates barriers for people with disabilities but also poses a real threat to your company – lost customers, lower Google rankings, and the risk of legal problems. Full accessibility is a standard your business deserves, opening doors to a wider audience and building a positive brand image.

The truth about the costs of inaccessibility – is your website limiting you?

Do you know that a lack of digital accessibility can cost your business much more than the initial investment in WCAG? We are talking not only about lost traffic and conversions but also about potential legal penalties and a damaged reputation. Many entrepreneurs still perceive accessibility as an additional expense, ignoring the fact that it is an investment that pays off many times over, not only financially but also socially. Don't be fooled by the myth that accessibility is just a formality – it's a real business value and an ethical imperative.

Our experience shows that companies that proactively adapted their websites to WCAG reported a significant increase in user engagement, improved SEO, and strengthened market position.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) are international guidelines for web content accessibility. They provide the basis for creating websites accessible to everyone, regardless of disability or equipment used. In Poland, adherence to them is mandatory for public entities, but it is also becoming a standard for private companies.

The main benefits include: extended market reach (reaching people with disabilities), avoidance of legal problems and penalties, better Google ranking (SEO), strengthening of brand image (CSR), increased conversion, and elimination of digital barriers for all users.

Yes, for public entities, there are financial penalties and legal consequences resulting from the Digital Accessibility Act. Although for the private sector there are no such strict regulations in Poland yet, a lack of accessibility can lead to lawsuits and significant reputational damage, especially in countries with more developed accessibility laws.

The adaptation time depends on the complexity of the website, its current state, and the scope of required changes. The process begins with a detailed audit, followed by implementation of fixes in code, design, and content. This can take from several weeks to several months.

Yes. Many aspects of WCAG (e.g., proper heading structure, alternative text for images, color contrast, keyboard accessibility) are also beneficial for SEO. Google increasingly values accessibility and treats it as a ranking factor, which can lead to higher positions in search results.

In most cases, an existing website can be adapted. We perform an audit that identifies key barriers, and then implement the necessary modifications in the code and design. Only in very rare, extreme cases is it necessary to create a website from scratch.

Keyboard accessibility means that a user can fully navigate and use all functions of a website using only the keyboard, without needing a mouse. This is crucial for people with motor disabilities and screen reader users.

Absolutely not. Modern WCAG standards allow for creating websites that are both aesthetic, functional, and fully accessible. Inclusive design is good design that improves the user experience for everyone, not just for people with disabilities.

The goal of WCAG is to make web content as accessible as possible for the widest possible group of users, including people with various disabilities. While it is not always possible to eliminate absolutely all barriers for every unique need, we strive to achieve the highest possible level of accessibility (usually AA level), which is a widely accepted standard.
