Contrast and colour
Every text value measured against its actual background, in light and dark themes. Information is never carried by colour alone.
PREMIUM SOLUTION
An accessible website — before anyone asks for one
Germany's BFSG has applied since June 2025. We audit your site against WCAG 2.1 AA, fix what blocks people, and leave you a statement that holds up under scrutiny.
- A report with locations, not a score
- Tested with screen reader and keyboard, not automation alone
- No overlay — fixes go into the code
- Automated test guards against regressions
Why now
What the German Accessibility Strengthening Act means for you
In force since 28 June 2025: anyone offering digital services to consumers — a shop, a booking flow, a customer account — is covered.
Micro-enterprises (under 10 employees, at most €2m turnover) are exempt for services. Whether that applies to you is settled in the first conversation.
Enforcement sits with the Länder market surveillance authority (MLBF). Fines reach €100,000, though a deadline to remedy is the more common outcome.
Law aside: roughly one in ten people in Germany lives with an impairment that affects how they operate your site.
Key Benefits
Discover the highlights of this solution and why teams rely on it to deliver results.
An audit that names locations
Not a traffic-light rating but a list: which element, on which page, against which criterion — and what to do about it.
Fixes in the source
Contrast, keyboard operation, focus handling, form errors and markup are changed where they originate. No script laid over the top.
A statement that holds
An accessibility statement naming the standard applied, the known limitations and a feedback channel — rather than claiming blanket conformance.
Scope
What gets audited and fixed
The benchmark is WCAG 2.1 level AA — the standard EN 301 549, and through it the BFSG, refers to.
Keyboard operation
Everything reachable without a mouse, focus visible throughout, no focus traps. A skip link past the navigation.
Structure and semantics
Heading hierarchy without gaps, landmarks, lists and tables marked up as what they are — the ground every screen reader stands on.
Forms
Labels properly associated, errors as text rather than a red outline alone, error messages announced to assistive software.
Dialogs and dynamic content
Modals hold focus and close with Escape. Content that changes without a page load is announced.
Motion and media
Animations follow the system setting. Videos captioned, images given alternative text, decorative content marked explicitly as decorative.
Overlay or real implementation
Overlay tool
Installed in an hour
One script in the header, one icon in the corner. The underlying page is untouched.
Not proof of conformance
Neither a BFSG review nor a BITV test accepts an overlay in place of the source. What gets examined is the DOM.
Collides with assistive tech
ARIA attributes injected at runtime override what screen reader users have configured in their own software.
Ongoing cost
A monthly subscription, plus another third party in your processing records and your consent banner.
Implementation in code
Paid once, lasts
Corrected markup stays corrected. No subscription keeping the accessibility alive.
Stands up to review
What gets examined is exactly what was changed: contrast values, focus order, labels, structure.
Works with assistive tech
Screen readers, magnification and voice input get the structure they were built for — with no layer in between.
Side effect: a better site for everyone
Clean markup, clear contrast and working keyboard operation also show up in usability and in search.
How it runs
From audit to statement
- 01
Taking stock
Automated testing of every page type in both themes, plus manual passes with keyboard and screen reader. Automation alone finds only part of it.
2-4 days
- 02
Report and priorities
Every finding with its location, the criterion it fails and its severity. Ordered by what actually blocks people — not by what is quickest to change.
within a week
- 03
Implementation
Fixes in the source, in your codebase or as a specification for your team. Every change is re-tested.
scope dependent
- 04
Statement and safeguard
An accessibility statement with the standard, known limitations and a reporting route. Optionally an automated test that flags a regression immediately.

Common questions
What clients want to know first
It covers providers of certain digital services to consumers — online shops, booking systems, customer accounts. Purely informational sites and pure B2B are outside it, as are micro-enterprises for services. We settle the classification in the first conversation, before any work is billed.
Where does your website stand?
The first step is taking stock — with it you know whether there is anything to act on at all.
