Why Accessibility Matters For All Businesses
The European Accessibility Act is not optional. Starting 28 June 2025, companies across Europe must align their products and services with strict accessibility standards. This includes aspects such as television broadcasts, eBooks, assistive technologies, and more. Compliance ensures your business meets the legal requirements and creates an inclusive experience for users.
According to the European Commission, these changes impact all sectors, from education and healthcare to business services and public resources. For more information, explore our dedicated guide: What is plain language?
Principles Of Plain Language
Plain language ensures your communication is user-friendly, clear, and engaging. The key elements include:
- Concise sentences
Avoid jargon and long paragraphs in order to improve understanding. - Logical structure
Information flows naturally, helping users navigate with ease. - Alternative formats
Include audio-visual media services and accessible PDFs for inclusivity. - Visual clarity
Use images and formatting to enhance readability.
These techniques eliminate barriers and create an engaging experience for all users, including those with disabilities or limited literacy. Our services align with the European Accessibility Act and leading accessibility frameworks.
