By June 2025, e-commerce businesses have to comply with the European Accessibility Act, making their website and digital platforms accessible to all users. This poster explains the accessibility rules for digital products under the EAA. To meet these rules, digital products must follow the 13 WCAG 2.1 guidelines, which have 4 key principles:
- Perceivable - The users must be able to perceive the information being presented, it can't be invisible to all of their senses
- Operable - User interface components and navigation must be operable
- Understandable - Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable
- Robust - Error prevention (legal, financial, data, etc.)
The poster also highlights the two conformance levels: Level A (minimum requirement) and Level AA (higher level of accessibility) to support different groups and situations.
