Can anyone use your website?
Enter your address and wait about 25 seconds. We'll open your page in a real browser and check it against 105 accessibility rules —on both mobile and desktop.
The website is tested against WCAG 2.2, to which the Act on Strengthening Web Accessibility refers.
We'll tell you which of these are really urgent.
A list of findings isn't much help if it's unclear which issues to address first. We prioritize the items based on effort and impact, and we're honest about what can be resolved in an afternoon and what can't.

Questions About the Accessibility Check
The questions businesses ask us most often about this.
What is the Accessibility Enhancement Act?
The BFSG transposes a European directive into German law. It requires that certain products and services be accessible to people with disabilities—including online. It has been in effect since June 28, 2025. For websites, this means, above all: readable contrast, keyboard accessibility, labeled forms, and images that can be described by screen readers.
Does the law apply to us as well?
That depends on two questions. First: Do you offer consumers a service through your website—such as an online store, a booking, an appointment scheduling, or the conclusion of a contract? A simple “business card” website generally does not fall under this category. Second: How large is the company? Microenterprises with fewer than ten employees and a maximum of two million euros in revenue or total assets are exempt when providing services, but not when selling products. At the end of the check, you’ll answer three questions and receive an initial assessment. This is not legal advice.
What exactly does this check measure?
We open your website in a real browser—once on a mobile device and once on a desktop—and run it through 105 validation rules. We check compliance with WCAG 2.2, the standard referenced by the law via the EN 301 549 standard. We categorize the results according to the four principles of the standard: perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.
Does a good result mean we're done?
No, and we’d rather make that clear. An automated check reliably detects what can be measured: contrast values, missing labels, and broken markup. It cannot determine whether alternative text truly describes the image, whether the order makes sense when navigating by tab, or whether your text is understandable. That requires a person to go through the page using a keyboard and a screen reader.
What is the most common deficiency?
Text that’s too pale. Gray text on a light background may look elegant in a draft, but for many people it’s simply unreadable—in sunlight, when wearing reading glasses, or if they have poor eyesight. In most cases, it’s enough to darken the gray by two or three shades. This costs almost nothing and hardly changes the design at all.
Doesn't an accessible website look boring?
No. The vast majority of accessibility adjustments aren’t even visible on the page: text that’s only heard by screen readers, a slightly darker shade of gray, a jump label that only appears when you tab through the page. Accessible doesn’t mean plain—it means carefully designed.
We have a website built with a website builder. Can we even make any changes?
Most of the time, yes. Contrast, alternative text, form labels, and heading levels can be configured in almost any system. Some of the issues stem from the content management system itself—we weigh those less heavily in our findings and let you know which ones you can control.
What happens to the verified address and the result?
Nothing. We don't save the address or the result, and the answers from the questionnaire remain in your browser. Only when you request an assessment do you send us the measurements along with your contact information—we see them then, but not otherwise.
