Meet the new European Accessibility Act (EAA) for EU customers, comply with WCAG 2.1 AA and UK Equality Act expectations—all with Axessible’s automated remediation and expert services.
Why this matters now (UK + EU)

From June 2025, the EAA sets a new deadline for any UK company selling to EU consumers, especially e-commerce and digital services. Now is the time to ensure your website is compliant and future-ready.
