accessible websites
Accessible websites - both an obligation and an opportunity
Since June 28, 2025, digital accessibility has been a legal requirement for many companies. Whether BFSG, BITV 2.0 or WCAG 2.2: we make your digital presence accessible and ensure greater reach, better usability and legal security with accessibility audits and barrier-free implementation. This allows you to reach 13 million people with disabilities and improve the user experience for everyone.
Digital participation is good for business
13 million people in Germany live with a disability - and often use the internet more intensively than average. Accessible websites reach this target group and at the same time improve the user experience for everyone: older people, users with temporary restrictions, people in noisy environments or with a slow internet connection.
Since the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG), digital accessibility has also become a legal obligation for many companies. The public sector was already obliged by the BITV 2.0.
We help you to meet both requirements - and to exploit the full potential of barrier-free design.
Legal security
BFSG, BITV 2.0, WCAG 2.2 - we ensure conformity and document it verifiably.
Better performance
Accessible websites are often faster, better structured and rank better in search engines.
BFSG and BITV 2.0 - What you need to know
Different requirements apply depending on the sector. We help you to maintain an overview.

Five steps to an accessible website
When you commission us as a web design agency to create your website, we go through a structured process together. We attach great importance to detailed consultation and close cooperation with our customers in order to understand their needs and goals and to be able to implement them optimally.
1 Consulting and analysis
We check your current website with manual and automated tests in accordance with WCAG 2.2 and BITV 2.0 standards. We identify all relevant barriers - from contrast problems and missing alt texts to complex navigation structures. You receive a detailed audit report with a clear overview of the status quo of your digital accessibility and specific recommendations for action.
Duration: 1-2 weeks
2 Concept and design
Based on the accessibility analysis, we create a prioritized action plan with concrete implementation steps. Critical barriers that violate the BFSG or BITV are given top priority. We take into account both the cost and impact of each measure and coordinate the plan closely with your technical and time resources.
Duration: 1 week
3 Development and implementation
We implement the identified measures iteratively - in close coordination with your team or as a full service. We eliminate critical barriers first so that your website becomes BFSG-compliant as quickly as possible. We pay attention to technical excellence: semantic HTML, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility are implemented professionally.
Duration: 2-8 weeks depending on scope
4Testing and quality assurance
After implementation, we carry out comprehensive tests: manual testing with screen readers, keyboard navigation tests, contrast tests and automated scans. We validate conformity with WCAG 2.2 Level AA and document all results. At the same time, we train your editorial team in accessible content maintenance.
Duration: 1 week
5Launch and ongoing support
You receive full documentation of the conformity achieved and, if required, support with the legally required accessibility declaration in accordance with BITV 2.0. After the launch, we offer maintenance contracts with regular audits to ensure that new content or features do not introduce any new barriers.
Duration: Launch + optional ongoing support
Accessibility is not a one-off project
Digital accessibility does not end with the launch. New content, features or design adjustments can introduce new barriers - often unintentionally. We offer maintenance contracts with regular audits, rapid response to new requirements and ongoing advice. This keeps your website permanently compliant - and you avoid fines or warnings.
