The Accessibility Check for Your Website

10% of all internet users have some form of disability. This includes people with visual or hearing impairments, those who have difficulty using a mouse and keyboard, or those who must work under challenging conditions. According to Austria’s Accessibility Act (BaGF), access to information must be equally easy for everyone starting June 28, 2025.
By then, your website should be well on its way to achieving accessibility. 

The goal is to first conduct an analysis of the current state and then provide your website developers with a guideline or a list of requirements so they can begin removing the barriers.

Making a website accessible requires many measures that you wouldn’t even notice—and shouldn’t notice—without a screen reader (a browser that reads text aloud) or without a visual impairment (a Braille display). 

With intelligently designed accessibility, the page’s design is not restricted in any way, and the site can be navigated intuitively (usability). The text is easy to understand. Bonus benefit: Accessibility is also good for SEO.

How does the check work? What is analyzed here and how?

  • The website is analyzed against the WCAG 2.2 Level AA criteria.
  • Special attention is paid, through manual testing, to keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility.
  • All types of admin interfaces or backend areas are not analyzed. For example, the CMS backend of your website is not analyzed.
