What is the European Accessibility Act (EAA)?

The EAA is a significant piece of EU legislation aimed at improving accessibility across digital products and services for persons with disabilities. It encourages compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to ensure websites are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for everyone.

Content Formatting Tools: Adjust text size, color, and contrast effortlessly with our content editing tools, making it easier for visually impaired users to navigate your site.
Marketer Tools: Use our "optimize" tool in the page editor to receive accessibility recommendations and ensure all images have alt text for compatibility with assistive technologies.
Developer Tools: Stay flexible with our developer tools to implement keyboard navigation and interactive enhancements, and connect channels for improved customer service interactions.
