Is your website accessible? Find out with a free audit!

Imagine trying to navigate a website, but the buttons are too small, the text is difficult to read, or the navigation doesn’t work with a keyboard. These barriers can make the web feel like a place that’s not meant for you. Unfortunately, for millions of people, this is a daily reality. In this article, we are going to highlight the importance of accessibility for both people and businesses and explain how you can easily assess the current accessibility status of your website.

Accessibility is about people 

When thinking about accessibility, it's easy to get caught up in legal requirements, standards and rules. Yes, there are regulations that mandate certain accessibility measures. For example, the new European Accessibility Act, which forces both the public and private sectors to comply with accessibility requirements by June 28, 2025.

However, at 1xINTERNET we believe that accessibility goes beyond compliance. Accessibility is about creating inclusive digital experiences for real users with real needs. Inaccessible websites prevent people from accessing content, services and products that should be available to them. In contrast, a fully accessible website empowers people and provides an experience that welcomes all users equally.

Business benefits of accessibility

By making your website accessible, you don't only meet legal requirements. An accessible website benefits everyone. Clear navigation, well-structured content, and user-friendly design not only support individuals with disabilities but also improves the overall user experience, makes a positive impact on SEO, and increases your online visibility. 

When your website is accessible, you open the door to millions of potential customers who rely on accessible features to navigate the web. It’s an opportunity to serve a wider audience, build trust with users, and boost your brand reputation.

The value of human audits

Many businesses approach accessibility through automated tools, which are great for catching some common issues. But true accessibility goes beyond simple checklists or quick scans. That’s why at 1xINTERNET, our accessibility audits are conducted by real humans, not just machines. 

Our experts carefully review your website, evaluating how real users interact with it. We assess how accessible your design, content, and functionality truly are.
