Description

The European Accessibility Act requires that digital products and services are compliant to accessibility standards. Previously, there were divergent standards across the EU member states; this legislation creates one standard that all member states should follow. Gian Wild discusses what the EAA covers - and doesn't cover - and how you can make sure your web sites, applications and mobile content is compliant as soon as possible
