This Is Not the Millennium Bug – It Is the New GDPR
The European Accessibility Act is not a false alarm.
It is a legal reality, and your website must be ready.
Do you remember the Millennium Bug? The fear that computers would crash, planes would fall from the sky, and everything would grind to a halt because systems could not handle the date change?
It was everywhere. People were stockpiling candles and canned food. Emergency plans were drawn up. And then… nothing happened.
For some businesses, the European Accessibility Act is being met with the same sense of scepticism.
They think it will pass quietly. That nothing will really change. That it will be a lot of noise and no real consequences.
That could not be further from the truth.
This is not the Millennium Bug.
This is GDPR.
Every EU member state will be enforcing this legislation in their own way. That means real fines, real legal action, and real consequences for companies that are not compliant.
The legislation affects every part of a business. Our focus is digital accessibility.
If your website is not accessible, or if your Accessibility Statement is not valid, your business is vulnerable.
The good news is, there is still time to act. Not to fix everything overnight — proper accessibility takes time — but to begin the process and put the right foundations in place.
That is exactly what we do.
Our approach begins with an accessibility audit by our team of disabled testers. We identify the issues, document the user experience, and create a plan to move forward. Most importantly, we create a compliant Accessibility Statement that gives your organisation legal protection while work is ongoing.
This is how you demonstrate intent.
This is how you avoid being caught out.
GDPR changed the way we handle data.
The European Accessibility Act will change the way we treat inclusion.
Let us help you lead the way with accessible web design and expert accessibility audits.
