Accessibility and WAC Certification FAQs

Web accessibility ensures that all people, including those with disabilities, can navigate, interact with and understand the content of a website without barriers. Not only is it a fundamental right, but it also improves the user experience and reach of the site.

The main regulations include:

✔️ European Directive 2016/2102, which establishes requirements at European level.

✔️ European Accessibility Act 2025, which affects private and public companies.

✔️ ADA (USA), which requires accessibility on websites of companies and government entities.

The regulations mainly affect public bodies, educational institutions, financial institutions, technology companies, e-commerce platforms and transport and telecommunications companies.

If your website is not compliant, you may face lawsuits, financial penalties, and loss of customers. Plus, you'll be excluding a significant portion of the population. Implementing accessibility is not only a legal obligation, but also an opportunity to improve your business's reputation and reach.

The regulations mainly affect public bodies, educational institutions, financial institutions, technology companies, e-commerce platforms and transport and telecommunications companies.

The WAC certificate is not official, since in each country official accessibility certificates can only be issued by accredited certifying bodies.

However, accessibility laws do not require the possession of an official certificate, but rather establish that websites must comply with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards to ensure accessible navigation for all.

Obtaining our certification means that your website has been assessed and meets accessibility standards or has demonstrated its commitment to their implementation. It is a valuable tool to improve digital inclusion and reinforce user trust in your platform.

To obtain our accessibility seal, we perform a website audit, identify accessibility barriers and provide recommendations. After implementing the improvements, a certificate is awarded that confirms compliance with good accessibility practices.
