Free tool

Scan your site for accessibility issues.

Enter your website address and the scanner automatically checks your pages against the main accessibility standards — WCAG 2.2 and EN 301 549 — then gives you a quick list of the issues it finds. It runs the same automated check I start a full audit with. Automated tools can't catch everything, though: things like screen-reader testing and color-contrast review still need a person. So use this as a first look, and book the audit when you want the full picture.

Why now

The European Accessibility Act has been enforceable since 28 June 2025. Member states have designated competent authorities and published penalty frameworks; the regulatory layer is no longer theoretical.

France — Arcom

Arcom monitors the accessibility of digital services in France — websites, apps, and intranets — and verifies conformance against the RGAA (France's national accessibility standard) through sworn agents. It can issue formal notices and impose financial penalties of up to €50,000. Arcom — digital accessibility →

Germany — BFSG

The Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz entered into force on 28 June 2025. Its penalty provision, § 37 BFSG, sets administrative fines of up to €100,000 for the most serious violations and up to €10,000 for the rest. § 37 BFSG →

Netherlands — Implementatiewet

The Netherlands transposed the EAA via the Implementatiewet toegankelijkheidsvoorschriften producten en diensten. A published accessibility statement is required for every in-scope digital service. Monitoring framework →
