Everything You Need to Know: EAA 2025 & WordPress
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is an EU directive that mandates common accessibility requirements for key products and services. In the digital world, this means websites and apps must be usable by everyone, including people with vision, hearing, or motor impairments.
Why WordPress users should care: Most WordPress themes and plugins are not “accessible by default.” If you provide services, sell products, or offer digital tools in the EU, the EAA requires your site to meet specific standards.
Who exactly is affected by the EAA?
Companies with fewer than 10 staff and under €2M revenue usually fall outside EAA service obligations.
Is technical implementation difficult for us?
OneTap makes it easy by automating many technical WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements for your site.
What happens if my website stays inaccessible?
By June 2025, you risk legal fines and losing many customers who rely on accessible navigation.
What happens without technical optimization?
Without a accessibility tool like OneTap, adjustments often require rewriting code on many or even most pages, which can be time-consuming and costly.
Key Accessibility Requirements
for Websites under the EAA
Perceivable content for all users
Content must be readable and usable by people with visual or auditory impairments, including text alternatives and adaptable layouts.
Sufficient color contrast
Text and interface elements must have enough contrast to remain readable for users with low vision or color blindness.
Clear structure and semantics
Headings, landmarks and HTML structure must be logical so assistive technologies can interpret content correctly.
Screen reader compatibility
Websites must work reliably with screen readers and assistive tools through proper labels and ARIA usage.
Keyboard accessibility
All functions must be operable using a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse or touch gestures.
Understandable navigation and language
Navigation, menus and texts must be clear, predictable and written in understandable language.
Accessible forms and inputs
Forms must include labels, instructions and clear error messages that can be perceived by all users.
Time-independent interaction
Users must have enough time to read and interact with content, without forced time limits where possible.
Accessible documents and media
PDFs, videos and other embedded content must be accessible or provided with accessible alternatives.
Accessibility statement and feedback option
An accessibility statement and a way to report barriers must be available and easy to find.
