Accessibility

A digitally accessible website can be used by anyone, including people with disabilities. Digital accessibility allows you to reach more people and makes your website more findable in search engines (SEO). In addition, accessibility is a legal requirement for many organisations.

Benefits of digital accessibility

Because an accessible website does not exclude people, everyone can use your website to its full potential. So also, for example, someone who is blind or has a physical disability and cannot operate a mouse. They won’t have to ask other people for help and will be less inclined to switch to a competitor. This also shows your social commitment.

By making your website accessible, search engines can also index it better. In doing so, you are also automatically doing search engine optimisation (SEO).

Currently, it is a legal requirement for (semi) governments to offer accessible websites and mobile apps. From 2025, such a legal obligation also applies to some private organisations, such as online shops, banks and transport companies.
