Did you know that 15% of the world’s population experiences some form of disability? Accessible digital experiences benefit not only this group but everyone. From better SEO rankings to increased usability, when your services are accessible, they open doors to new audiences, build stronger customer loyalty, and improve overall performance.
At Leap Forward, we believe accessibility is not just a box to tick—it's an essential part of creating inclusive (online and offline) user experiences. As digital touchpoints become more prominent, ensuring that your website or app is accessible to all users, regardless of ability, is crucial.
The European Accessibility Act
Accessibility isn’t just a priority for us, it’s becoming a wider obligation for businesses across Europe. While it’s long been a requirement for public institutions, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) now introduces standardised rules for certain products and services in the private sector. From websites and apps to e-commerce and self-service terminals, these regulations ensure accessibility for everyone. By 2025, each EU member state must adopt the directive into national law, making compliance mandatory for businesses in these sectors.
