JUNE20 Why Digital Accessibility Matters

Why Digital Accessibility Matters

On June 28, 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) comes into force. This EU directive requires companies and public institutions to make their digital products and services accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. June20 helps you get ready for this regulation while also elevating your overall digital experience.

What exactly is the EAA?

The EAA aims to eliminate barriers for people with disabilities. It obliges organizations to design websites, mobile apps, e-commerce platforms, customer portals and digital documents according to accessibility standards.

In practice, this means that all users – including those who are visually impaired or navigate with keyboards or voice software – must have equal access to the same content and functionalities.

 

Not a technical luxury, but a legal requirement

Failing to comply with the EAA may result in penalties. But beyond that, accessible websites are simply better for everyone. They offer a smoother, more inclusive user experience, while improving SEO, load speed and conversion performance.

What does June20 do?

At June20, accessibility is a built-in part of every design and development process. We help you comply with legal requirements while building digital platforms that are durable, inclusive and user-friendly.

Here’s what we offer

  1. Audit and analysis
    We start with a WCAG audit (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), the international standard that determines whether your website or application meets the EAA. Our quick scan identifies key issues such as:

    – Poor color contrast
    – Unclear navigation structure
    – Missing alt texts
    – Typography issues

  2. Design and development workflows
    We integrate accessibility using tools like:

    Figma (Stark plugin) for contrast checks and visual impairment simulations
    Storybook to visually test components for readability and navigation
    Lighthouse and Axe-core to automatically detect accessibility issues

  3. Optimisation and implementation
    Once the audit is complete, we start improving your platform. This includes updating forms, adding alt texts, refining reading order or adjusting your brand style.
    We support both new digital platforms and existing websites that need to be upgraded for compliance.

  4. Training and support
    We provide clear documentation and optional training for your internal teams, ensuring accessibility remains embedded even after go-live.
