Six building blocks for accessible websites

Each of these building blocks is the default — you don't need to activate anything.

  • Contrast & Font Sizes

    All text meets at least WCAG-AA contrast (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text). Font scales without layout break.

  • Keyboard Navigation

    Every function is reachable via Tab/Shift-Tab/Enter. Visible focus indicators, skip-to-content link, no keyboard traps.

  • Semantics & ARIA

    Correct HTML5 structure (header/nav/main/footer), aria-labels for icon buttons, aria-current for active navigation.

  • Screen Reader Compatible

    Tested with NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver. Images with alt texts (AI-generated + manually editable). Tables with headers.

  • Reduce-Motion Respect

    Animations respect `prefers-reduced-motion`. Auto-carousels have pause buttons. No blinking content over 3 Hz.

  • Monthly Audit

    From Professional plan, DIAS GmbH conducts a monthly full audit — results as PDF, issues by severity, fixes via mekyn update.

EAA Compliance Checklist 2026

  1. 1. Meet WCAG 2.2 AA

    Implement all 50 success criteria of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Level AA — contrast, keyboard navigation, screen-reader support.

  2. 2. Provide an Accessibility Statement

    A mandatory disclosure under the EAA that publicly states your conformance level. mekyn generates it automatically.

  3. 3. Build a Feedback Mechanism

    Users must be able to report barriers — mandatory under EAA Article 14. mekyn integrates this automatically in the footer.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the European Accessibility Act (EAA)?

    The European Accessibility Act (EAA) requires private sector products and services to meet accessibility standards by 2025-2028. It covers e-commerce, banking and digital services. mekyn websites are built to meet these requirements by default.

  • What does WCAG 2.1 AA mean?

    Web Content Accessibility Guidelines by the W3C. "AA" is the middle of three conformance levels and the legal minimum standard for public entities and increasingly for private sector under EAA. mekyn meets all 50 AA criteria.

  • How can I verify conformance?

    Every mekyn website is automatically tested against axe-core and Lighthouse before going live. From Professional plan you receive a monthly PDF audit from our partner DIAS GmbH with all findings.

  • What is the Accessibility Statement?

    A required disclosure under EAA and ADA, documenting your conformance status. mekyn generates it automatically based on your current audit status and serves it at `/accessibility-statement`.

  • Can users report barriers?

    Yes. Every mekyn website automatically includes a feedback mechanism: an "Report a barrier" link in the footer opens a form that goes directly to the site owner — required under EAA.

  • What does the audit service cost?

    Included in Professional plan (monthly). Business plan adds quarterly report for documentation. Starter plan includes automated Lighthouse reports; human audit available as add-on ($199/quarter).
