Digital Accessibility Experts

The EAA’s June 2025 deadline wasn’t the end of the accessibility work organisations need to do. It wasn’t even the beginning of that end. But it was maybe the end of the beginning for many companies.

If you’re a company who hasn’t reached the compliance level, what can you do to avoid panicking and encourage the official Monitoring Organisations from each EU Member State (or disability organisations using the same legislation to bring lawsuits, like is happening already in France) to look at other companies to fine before they focus their fines on you?

If you’re a company who’ve reached the necessary level of compliance, what should you do now to ensure you remain compliant, and actually win more business because of the accessibility you’ve achieved?

In this webinar we guided companies through the steps they need to put in place to minimise their risks and maximise their opportunities from the EAA.

Accessibility audits are great at making sure your experience meets standards and guidelines, but often people forget the real reason for accessibility – the user.

There are multiple benefits of user testing with people with disabilities: it can unlock insights you may otherwise never have found, and ensure you are building solutions that work for all users, not just against guidelines.

And user-research with people with disabilities will give you confidence that what you create serves a need. So how do you get people with disabilities into your user-research and user-testing without it costing the earth?

Jonathan Hassell was the Exec that led this change at the BBC, and Yac Woozeer did so much user-testing with people with disabilities in UK government that he can now guide organisations through how they might respond to products in our Live Audits. In this webinar, they discuss:
The benefits that can come from testing your product/service idea, product or service with real people with disabilities, rather than just getting people with disabilities who are tech experts to review them
How co-creating with people with disabilities can eliminate costly assumptions, ​drive innovation, and deliver meaningful experiences​
How to involve people with disabilities in your user-research and user-testing​, with examples of how to do this for people who are blind or have a learning difficulty
Examples of how to make the most from the expertise you gain from doing this work, by capturing insights in internal Guidelines or expert evaluation methodologies

In today’s digital landscape, accessibility isn’t a luxury – it’s a critical business imperative and an investment. An investment in broader market reach, reduced legal risk, and genuinely inclusive digital experiences.

Our “Accessibility Nightmares” webinar pulls back the curtain on the types of real-world accessibility disasters that have cost companies millions, damaged reputations, and left users frustrated and excluded.

Here our consultants Rob Wemyss and Jonathan Hassell tell the stories of how we’ve helped some organisations facing these challenges turn them into triumphs, including:SaaS disasters – the impact of accessibility fails on both buyer and vendor
PR failures – when poor accessibility hits the press, brand damage follows fast
Lawsuit landmines – how to make lawsuits work for you
EAA complacency – is your disaster just a month away?
Rob shares our transformation playbook – an approach to turning round disasters which mirrors Gordon Ramsey’s classic kitchen makeovers:Brutal honesty assessment
Rapid remediation strategies
Cultural transformation
Are you ready to turn your digital accessibility nightmare into a success story?
