Accessibility Implementation

Digital Product Design

Motivation

Accessibility is more than a legal obligation. It is a smart and forward-thinking investment in your users and your brand. Starting in June 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) will require digital products and services across the EU, including websites, eCommerce platforms, mobile apps and customer portals, to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.

True accessibility goes beyond ticking boxes. It improves the experience for everyone, opens your services to a wider audience, builds trust, and reflects your commitment to responsible, inclusive innovation. The most successful organizations see accessibility not as a hurdle but as a core part of digital quality.

Acting early brings real world advantages such as better performance, greater market access, reduced legal and reputational risk, and lower long-term costs. More importantly, you show that you care about reaching all users and building digital products that are usable by everyone.

This offering implements the findings identified in an Accessibility (WCAG) Audit and results in the identified system, or systems becoming WCAG 2.1 compliant.

What we bring

With over 20 years of experience in building software applications for many of the world’s largest enterprises, PRODYNA is well-equipped to access your applications in regard to the WCAG 2.1 standards. Our expertise in this area includes:

  • Automated Testing: we use leading tools like Axe, Lighthouse, and WAVE to quickly identify technical issues and structural gaps based on WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines.
  • Manual Expert Reviews: we manually assess critical user interactions, focusing on keyboard accessibility, screen reader compatibility, and navigation logic to capture real-world usability barriers.
  • User-Centric Evaluations: we simulate user scenarios based on different types of impairments to understand how people with disabilities would experience your product in practice.

What you need

For effective implementation, we recommend:

  • A dedicated development team (internal or external)
  • A UX/design or product owner to help prioritize and coordinate
  • Access to your design system or frontend codebase
