Accessibility in web design is crucial as it ensures that all people, regardless of their individual abilities or limitations, can make full use of the internet. An accessible website enables people with disabilities to access the same information and services as everyone else.
The BFSG is Now in Force: Accessibility is Mandatory!
Since June 28, 2025, all products and services in Germany must comply with accessibility standards under the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG). This includes websites, e-shops, and digital communication tools such as payment terminals, self-service checkouts, and more. Accessibility is no longer optional — it’s the law.
Make sure your business is accessible and legally compliant!
