§ 03 · The honest part

Automated scans cover roughly 30–50% of WCAG criteria. We put that in writing.

Anyone who promises that a plugin makes your site compliant is selling certainty, not software. AccessProof checks everything a machine can check, tells you what it can't, and recommends a manual review for the rest. What you hand your client is evidence of effort — documented, dated, and mapped to the standard regulators cite. Not a legal guarantee.

What the scan catches

  • Images without alt text
  • Text contrast below 4.5:1
  • Form fields without labels
  • Broken ARIA attributes and references
  • Missing landmarks and document language
  • Empty links and buttons

What needs human judgment

  • Whether the alt text is actually meaningful
  • Keyboard-only task flows, end to end
  • Logical focus and reading order
  • Quality of captions and transcripts
  • Error messages people can act on

The report states its own coverage on page one. That's exactly why clients — and the lawyers reading over their shoulders — take it seriously.

§ 04 · The regulatory clock

Enforcement isn't coming. It started.

The European Accessibility Act applies to services sold into the EU since 28 June 2025. Member states enforce it separately — and the first wave is already visible.

  1. · EU-wide

    EAA obligations apply

    Directive (EU) 2019/882 becomes enforceable for in-scope services in every member state. The technical benchmark regulators reference is EN 301 549, which maps to WCAG.

  2. Germany · since 2025

    Abmahnung letters, €500–3,000

    Law firms send formal cease-and-desist letters over inaccessible sites. Recipients typically face €500–3,000 in legal fees and a deadline to fix the issues.

  3. France · 2025–2026

    First lawsuits filed

    The first lawsuits over inaccessible services are working their way through French courts.

  4. Netherlands · from mid-2026

    ACM begins active enforcement

    The Dutch Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) starts actively enforcing accessibility obligations from mid-2026.

You don't need to panic. You need a dated document showing your client took this seriously — before a letter arrives, not after.

Enforcement practice varies by member state. This is context, not legal advice. Primary sources: Directive (EU) 2019/882 (EUR-Lex) · WCAG 2.2 (W3C). Country examples reflect public reporting as of June 2026. Full table: EAA fines by country.

§ 06 · FAQ

Fair questions, straight answers.

Is this legal advice?

No. AccessProof produces technical audit evidence: what was scanned, when, against which standard, and what was found. Whether your client meets their legal obligations is a question for a lawyer — our report is the document you bring to that conversation.

Does the automated scan catch everything?

No — and be suspicious of any tool that claims it does. Automated checks cover roughly 30–50% of WCAG success criteria. The report states this openly and recommends a manual review for the remainder. You're buying evidence of effort, not a compliance guarantee.

Which languages is the report available in?

English, German, and Polish. The white-label PDF carries your agency's branding, in your client's language.

Who is AccessProof for?

Web agencies and freelancers who serve EU clients and need credible audit evidence this week — without a procurement cycle. In-house teams use it too.

What's the refund policy?

If a report fails to generate or you bought it for the wrong site, email us within 14 days and we'll refund the €29 in full. No forms.

What data do you collect?

None worth mentioning: no analytics, no browsing data, no page content leaving your machine. Scans run locally; the only network call is the license check when you activate a purchase. Details in the privacy policy.

Run your first scan before your next client call.

The free scanner is free forever. The €29 report is there when a client needs paper.
