Find out which accessibility standards and laws apply to your website, and what they ask of you. From WCAG guidelines to the European Accessibility Act, Scanluma helps you navigate compliance with confidence.
Website accessibility compliance means people with disabilities can use your website effectively. Beyond being the right thing to do, accessibility is now legally required in many jurisdictions, and non-compliance can lead to fines or lawsuits.
Scanluma helps you navigate accessibility regulations with automated monitoring, detailed reports and clear guidance on what to change.
Accessibility compliance isn’t just about avoiding penalties, it’s about reaching a wider audience and building a better web experience for everyone.
16% of the global population lives with a significant disability. Accessible websites are open to all of them.
Non-compliance can lead to fines in the EU and lawsuits in the US. Knowing where your site stands is the first step.
Many accessibility basics are also SEO basics. Clear structure, headings and alt text help search engines understand your pages.
Understanding which standards apply to your business is the first step toward compliance. Here are the major accessibility regulations and guidelines:
EU legislation requiring businesses to make products and services accessible. Enforceable since June 28, 2025 across all 27 EU member states.
US federal law prohibiting discrimination against people with disabilities. Many US courts apply Title III to the websites of businesses open to the public.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the international standard for web accessibility. Most regulations reference WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the minimum requirement.
Section 508 requires US federal agencies and contractors to make their electronic information accessible. If you work with US government entities, Section 508 compliance is mandatory.
Accessibility compliance doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Scanluma automates the checking, so you can focus on the changes.
