Accessibility from 2025: what the BFSG means for your website
With the German Accessibility Strengthening Act, digital accessibility becomes mandatory for many businesses. We explain who is affected and what to do.
What the BFSG is about
The act implements EU requirements and obliges many providers to make digital products and services usable for people with disabilities.
Online shops and digital services are particularly affected.
What accessible actually means
Sufficient contrast, keyboard operability, meaningful alt texts, clear structure and compatibility with screen readers.
How Circle implements it
We build websites accessibility-first and check contrast, structure and operability as a fixed part of every project.
