The new guide is here! Prepare your business for the European Accessibility Act (EAA)

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) becomes a national law in all 27 EU Member States on June 28, 2025. If your organization does business in the EU, you will be impacted—regardless of your location.

Failure to meet the deadline can result in severe penalties. However, achieving compliance is about more than just avoiding fines. It’s about expanding your market share, enhancing your brand reputation, and building better and more inclusive experiences for all.

That’s why we created Prepare your business for the European Accessibility Act (EAA), our new 3-phase guide to EAA compliance.

You can use this guide to educate, equip, and enable your teams by June 28, 2025, and beyond.

In this guide, we walk you through a three-phase approach to building and scaling a comprehensive accessibility program. As our customers in and outside the EU know, there are no shortcuts to compliance. However, the EAA represents such an incredible opportunity to get accessibility ‘right’ and implement it as a sustainable organizational practice, that the work is well worth the effort. Our guidance is practical, the steps are realistic, and the goals are achievable.

Phase 1 begins with assessing your digital properties in their current state, finding where they stand regarding accessibility, and building a robust strategy to get them compliant. In Phase 2, you’ll learn how to make accessibility a consistent and ingrained element, using end-to-end testing and adopting a “shift-left” approach” to accessibility across your organization. And in Phase 3, you’ll begin to move beyond compliance to foster a workplace where accessibility and inclusivity are incorporated from the start.

The arrival of the EAA is a world-changing event. Now is the time for your organization to meet the opportunity head-on.

“As we enter the next era of global digital accessibility being ushered in by the EAA, we have the opportunity to create a truly inclusive world for everyone—including people with disabilities.” —Preety Kumar, CEO and Founder, Deque

This guide is here to help you meet the EAA deadline and achieve short-term compliance while laying the foundation for a lifelong commitment to inclusivity that will benefit your organization, your customers, and the world.
