Digital accessibility for everyone.
An accessible website is one that a blind person with a screen reader, someone using only a keyboard and an older person with weaker eyesight can all use. Since June 2025 it’s also a legal requirement for many businesses. I check websites against WCAG, fix the issues and build new projects that are accessible from day one.
scope
What’s included.
Accessibility audit
A review of your website against WCAG 2.2 level AA criteria: automated, manual and screen reader testing. You get a prioritised list of issues and how to fix them.
Fixing issues
I implement fixes in the code, theme and content: contrast, headings, forms, image descriptions, keyboard support.
Accessible new projects
Every website I build is designed and tested for accessibility. It’s the starting point, not a paid extra.
Assistive technology testing
I test your website with screen readers (e.g. NVDA, VoiceOver), keyboard only and with enlarged text.
Accessibility statement
I help you prepare an accessibility statement or the information on meeting accessibility requirements that the law calls for.
Accessible content, every day
I show you how to add text, images and documents so your website stays accessible after every update.

faq
Questions about this service.
Don’t see your question? Drop me a line — I’ll give you a straight answer.
What is the European Accessibility Act?
It’s an EU directive that, since 28 June 2025, requires accessibility from online stores, banking services, transport services and e-books, among others. Each member state implements it in national law — in Poland through a dedicated act on accessibility requirements for certain products and services.
Do the rules apply to my business?
It depends on what you do and the size of your business. Microenterprises — fewer than 10 employees and up to €2 million annual turnover or balance sheet total — are exempt from the obligations for services. I can help you establish whether the rules cover your website.
Isn’t an accessibility plugin or overlay enough?
No. Overlays don’t fix issues in the code and often get in the way of people using screen readers. Accessibility has to be built into the website itself.
What level of compliance is required?
In practice, the benchmark is WCAG level AA — the level referenced by the European standard EN 301 549. I work to the latest version, WCAG 2.2.
