Is your website breaking the law?
Two new EU laws now apply to Irish websites: the European Accessibility Act (in force since June 2025) and the EU AI Act transparency rules (from 2 August 2026). We check your site against both, in plain English - and tell you exactly what to fix.
We check your website against both new EU laws
Two areas of legal risk, one plain-English report. Same human-verified approach, whether it's accessibility or AI transparency.
Accessibility - WCAG 2.2 AA
Every paid audit checks your site against the EAA: colour contrast, keyboard navigation, screen-reader compatibility, form labels, alt text and more. You get a prioritised report, a Developer Fix Guide, and a draft accessibility statement. Included in every paid audit.
See how it worksAI Transparency - AI Act
If your site uses an AI chatbot or AI-generated content, the AI Act's transparency rules apply from 2 August 2026. We check whether you're disclosing AI correctly and give you the policy and staff-literacy templates you need. Included in Standard & Large audits.
Explore the AI Act checkWhat happens if you don't comply?
The European Accessibility Act is not a guideline - it is law, and it carries criminal penalties in Ireland.
Summary conviction
A fine of up to €5,000 and/or up to 6 months imprisonment on summary conviction in the District Court.
Conviction on indictment
A fine of up to €60,000 and/or up to 18 months imprisonment on conviction on indictment in the Circuit Court.
Personal director liability
Directors and managers can be held personally criminally liable if the offence is committed with their consent, connivance, or neglect.
Direct consumer action
Consumers and disability organisations can bring complaints directly. Six regulatory authorities have enforcement powers under Irish law.
Important: An accessibility statement alone, or an automated overlay widget, does not protect you from enforcement action or liability.
Three steps to your report
We do the hard work. You get a clear report with actionable fixes your developer can implement straight away.
We scan your site
Our AI-powered tool crawls your website, running hundreds of WCAG 2.2 AA checks alongside specialist accessibility tools. We cover contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, form labels, image alt text, and more.
You get a clear report
Within 5 business days you receive a prioritised PDF report in plain English, with no jargon. Each issue is rated Critical, Major, or Minor, with a plain-language description and exact fix instructions for your developer.
Your site becomes compliant
Hand the Developer Fix Guide to your web team and they can implement the changes immediately. We're available to answer questions, and we offer a follow-up re-scan to confirm compliance once fixes are live.
What's likely wrong with your site right now
96% of websites have detectable accessibility failures. These are the issues we find most often on Irish SME websites.
Poor colour contrast
Text that doesn't meet minimum contrast ratios is invisible to many users with low vision or colour blindness.
Missing image alt text
Images without descriptive alternative text are invisible to screen reader users, which is a critical WCAG failure.
Keyboard navigation breaks
Menus, forms, and interactive elements that can't be used without a mouse lock out many disabled users.
Unlabelled form fields
Contact forms and booking systems with inputs that have no accessible label are unusable with assistive technology.
Small tap targets on mobile
Buttons and links that are too small to tap accurately are a common fail for users with motor impairments.
Missing accessibility statement
The EAA requires a published, up-to-date accessibility statement on your site. Most Irish SMEs don't have one.
Built for Irish businesses of every size
The EAA applies to businesses providing digital services in Ireland. If you have a website or app, you need to comply.
Hotels & Tourism
Booking forms, room descriptions, and location info must be accessible to all guests.
Solicitors & Accountants
Professional services firms face heightened scrutiny, so compliance protects your professional reputation.
Healthcare & Clinics
Patient-facing websites and appointment booking systems must work for everyone.
E-commerce & Retail
Product pages, checkout flows, and account management all carry EAA obligations.
Restaurants & Food
Online menus, reservation forms, and ordering systems need to meet accessibility standards.
Credit Unions & Finance
Financial services are specifically named in the EAA as a high-priority sector for enforcement.

Yes. The EAA applies to all businesses providing products or services to consumers in the EU, including Irish SMEs. There is no size exemption. Enforcement priority may initially focus on larger organisations, but the legal obligation applies from day one. Non-compliance is a criminal offence in Ireland, with fines of up to €60,000 on indictment and personal liability for directors - the cost of compliance is a fraction of the cost of ignoring it.
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the international standard for web accessibility. Version 2.2 at AA level is the standard referenced in the EAA. It covers four principles: your site must be Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust. In practice this means things like: all images have alt text, the site works with a keyboard alone, text has sufficient contrast, forms have proper labels, and so on.
Your free homepage check is typically delivered within one business day. Full site audits (up to 15 pages) are delivered within 5 business days. Extended audits (up to 30 pages) within 7 business days. We'll always confirm a turnaround date when you order.
Our core service is finding and documenting the issues in enough detail that any competent web developer can implement the fixes. Every paid audit includes a Developer Fix Guide alongside the main report: a step-by-step remediation document your developer can work from directly. If you need help finding a developer to implement the fixes, we can point you in the right direction.
Every paid audit includes a professionally drafted Accessibility Statement which you publish on your website. This demonstrates your commitment to compliance and documents your audit process, as required by the EAA. We also offer a follow-up re-scan after your developer implements the fixes, to confirm your site now meets the standard.
