What does a WCAG audit cost for a Wolfsburg business?

A WCAG 2.2 AA audit for an SME website up to 30 pages is offered at a fixed price from €2,480 net. For a fast entry, the BFSG quick check for €490 uncovers the most critical barriers on your home page and one business-critical process. Subsequent technical remediation of existing websites starts from €2,480 (up to 15 pages), and an SME complete package of audit and remediation from €4,900. We calculate larger shops and complex web applications individually by page type and name the fixed price after a brief review.

Does the BFSG also apply to supplier companies and B2B portals in Wolfsburg?

The BFSG primarily applies to digital offerings directed at consumers. Pure B2B portals without consumer contact do not fall directly under it. Whether career portals are covered is legally disputed, because one view treats applicants as consumers. Even if only part of your digital offering reaches consumers, we recommend prioritizing that part for review. We clarify your specific situation in the initial consultation.

How long does a WCAG audit take for a Wolfsburg business?

The duration depends on the number of pages, the number of page types and the complexity of the processes; we agree the schedule with you once the audit scope is defined. Career portals, online shops with checkout and dynamic web applications usually take longer than a corporate website with mostly static pages. In urgent cases, we prioritize the critical barriers in a first sprint before tackling remaining items in follow-up iterations.

Can you test complex web applications and configurators?

Yes. We test not only static pages but also web applications with dynamic content, product configurators, multi-step form processes and AJAX-driven content areas. Operating without a mouse and checking screen reader output are essential for these use cases since rule checks alone reach their limits here. This depth is particularly relevant for the Wolfsburg business context.

Do we need to redevelop our website to become accessible?

As a rule, no. We work directly in the code of your existing system, whether Shopware, WordPress, TYPO3, Drupal, Contao or a custom development. A relaunch is only advisable when the technical foundation structurally prevents WCAG conformance. Many barriers can be resolved through targeted HTML, CSS and JavaScript adjustments without disrupting operations.

How far is the agency from Wolfsburg, and do you come on-site?

Our office in Söhlde near Hildesheim is approximately 65 kilometers from Wolfsburg. We come to you personally for kickoff meetings, training sessions and audit presentations. Technical audits and remediation are conducted remotely for efficiency. You can reach us by phone at +49 5123 9579000, and we arrange on-site appointments by agreement.

Wolfsburg is far more than the headquarters of a single automobile manufacturer. The city ranks among the economically strongest municipalities in Lower Saxony and hosts, alongside its core manufacturing sector, a dense landscape of automotive suppliers, IT service providers, engineering firms and retailers. Many of these businesses operate digital offerings that must now meet the accessibility requirements of the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG). Even in a technically sophisticated region like Wolfsburg, corporate websites and portals often still have catch-up work ahead when it comes to digital accessibility. We help Wolfsburg businesses close this gap with systematic WCAG audits, targeted technical remediation and practical training for your teams. The entry point is transparently priced – a WCAG 2.2 audit starts at €2,480 fixed price, and all services and prices are openly documented.

BFSG binding since June 28, 2025 – fines up to €100,000

The German Accessibility Strengthening Act has applied to digital consumer offerings since June 28, 2025. Market surveillance authorities can penalize violations with fines up to €100,000 (BFSG Section 37). We assess our own website against WCAG 2.2 AA ourselves; status and known limitations are set out in our accessibility statement.

The BFSG and Its Significance for Wolfsburg Businesses

The German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) transposes EU Directive 2019/882 into German law and has been binding since June 28, 2025. It covers businesses that offer goods or services to consumers digitally: online shops, booking portals and platforms for electronic services. The technical benchmark for the requirements is the European standard EN 301 549: the currently applicable version, V3.2.1, builds on WCAG 2.1, and version V4.1.1, published in September 2026, builds on WCAG 2.2. We therefore recommend implementation to WCAG 2.2 AA, which largely carries over the WCAG 2.1 AA criteria and adds new requirements. Micro-enterprises that provide services are exempt: fewer than 10 employees and an annual turnover or balance sheet total of no more than 2 million euros (BFSG Section 2 No. 17, Section 3(3)).

For Wolfsburg businesses specifically, the BFSG means: online shops aimed at consumers, booking portals of service providers and other digital offerings through which consumers conclude contracts must be accessible. Violations can be penalized by market surveillance authorities with fines up to €100,000 (BFSG Section 37). Beyond that, there is a solid business case: approximately 7.8 million severely disabled people live in Germany (Federal Statistical Office, as of end of 2025). Accessible websites open up this target group while simultaneously improving the user experience for everyone.

What We Deliver for Wolfsburg Businesses

WCAG Audit and Assessment

Systematic testing of your website or portal against WCAG 2.2 AA. Measurements with axe-core are complemented by the assessment of every criterion and checks of keyboard operation and screen reader output. Result: a prioritized action report at a fixed price from €2,480.

Technical Remediation

Fixing identified barriers directly in the HTML, CSS and JavaScript of your existing system. ARIA attributes, semantic structuring, contrast adjustments, focus management and skip links, as a rule without relaunch and without disrupting operations.

Accessibility Statement

Creation of the legally required accessibility declaration per Annex 3 of the BFSG, including documentation of conformance status, known limitations and a feedback mechanism. As a fixed price of €390, included in the audit package.

On-Site Training

Practical workshops at your premises in Wolfsburg: creating accessible content, writing alt texts, designing accessible forms, captioning videos. For editors, designers and developers, working on your own systems.

Ongoing Monitoring

Regular accessibility checks, including after content updates and deployments. Regular check routines, quarterly spot checks and compliance reporting from €49 per month.

Legal Documentation

Traceable documentation of the measures implemented as evidence of your compliance efforts toward market surveillance authorities. Technical statements on the implementation status against WCAG 2.2 AA when needed; they do not replace legal advice.

Wolfsburg as Automotive and Supplier Hub: special requirements

The Wolfsburg economic region is shaped by its strong automotive industry and its ecosystem: suppliers with complex product and spare-parts catalogs, engineering firms with technical documentation portals and IT service providers with SaaS platforms all serve a demanding market. On top of this comes a growing service landscape in retail, hospitality and healthcare. Many of these businesses operate digital offerings where accessibility goes far beyond simple contrast checks.

Multi-step configuration forms, dynamically loaded catalog content, complex filter functions and browser-based applications place high demands on WCAG conformance. Rule checks alone capture only a fraction of the actual barriers in such environments. We audit these web applications without a mouse, for their screen reader output and with zoom magnification. In our development projects, we have built up hands-on experience with a wide variety of technology stacks also used by Wolfsburg businesses.

Common Barriers in Wolfsburg Business Websites

Business websites of the kind common in the Wolfsburg area show recurring accessibility issues. Particularly common are technically demanding interaction surfaces that are not usable for keyboard or screen-reader users. Beyond these come the classic barriers: missing alt texts on product images and technical illustrations, insufficient color contrast in corporate design systems, inaccessible modal dialogs and videos without captions. None of these barriers arose deliberately – they are the result of a development process in which accessibility was previously not an explicit requirement.

Complex Configurators and Portals

Product configurators, supplier portals and multi-step order forms frequently generate ARIA errors, missing live-region announcements and broken focus sequences. These barriers disproportionately affect keyboard users and screen-reader users.

Corporate Design Contrast

Light gray tones on white backgrounds, subtle brand colors and small text in info boxes fall below the WCAG contrast target of 4.5:1. Corporate CD systems were often designed without accessibility requirements.

Keyboard Accessibility

Mega-menus, dropdown filters and carousels operable only with a mouse. Modal dialogs without focus trapping. Interactive maps and visualizations without keyboard alternatives. These barriers affect all who cannot or do not want to use a mouse.

Technical Documentation as PDF

Technical data sheets, manuals and certificates are often provided as untagged PDFs or scans, making them unreadable for screen readers. We advise on PDF accessibility and implementation of PDF/UA.

Retrofit existing forms for accessibility – without a relaunch

Many barriers in career and order forms can be fixed directly in the existing source code. We add missing labels, raise contrasts above the 4.5:1 threshold and make error messages announceable to screen readers – your system stays, just more accessible. Remediation starts from €2,480 for simple websites up to 15 pages.

Career Portals and the BFSG

Whether career portals fall under the BFSG is legally disputed: some legal commentators regard applicants as consumers and application portals therefore as electronic commerce services, while others see no link to a consumer contract. Regardless of that, an inaccessible application form structurally excludes qualified candidates with disabilities. Anyone taking part in public tenders may also encounter accessibility criteria in the specifications (Section 121(2) GWB) – more on this under accessibility for public procurement.

Accessibility as a Competitive Advantage for Wolfsburg Businesses

Wolfsburg businesses compete with national and international providers. An accessible web presence is more than legal compliance: it is a quality signal that demonstrates corporate responsibility while improving usability for all users. Approximately 7.8 million severely disabled people in Germany (Federal Statistical Office, as of end of 2025) are customers too. Businesses that make their digital offerings accessible reach people who would otherwise be stopped by barriers.

Accessibility can also pay off in day-to-day use: semantic HTML and correct document structure make it easier for search engines to capture your content, correct form labels can reduce abandonment, and good keyboard navigation also benefits experienced users. Our offering ranges from BFSG classification through the WCAG 2.2 audit and technical remediation to training and ongoing monitoring.

Regional Proximity for Wolfsburg Businesses

Our office in Söhlde near Hildesheim is approximately 65 kilometers from Wolfsburg. This proximity enables personal on-site appointments for kickoff meetings, audit presentations and training at your premises, complemented by the efficiency of remote collaboration for technical audits and remediation. For Wolfsburg businesses looking for an accessibility partner with personal availability and regional understanding, we offer the combination of deep WCAG expertise and manageable travel distances.

Whether a Shopware shop, WordPress website, TYPO3 CMS, custom development or complex web application: we audit your offering in your existing system and fix barriers where they arise. For the Wolfsburg region, technically demanding portals, career and application platforms, and multi-step form processes are particularly relevant.

Accessibility for Wolfsburg Industry Sectors

Wolfsburg's economic structure brings sector-specific accessibility requirements. Supplier companies frequently operate B2B portals with complex filter functions and technical data sheets as PDF. Retailers and hospitality businesses rely on online shops and reservation systems that must be fully accessible throughout the entire purchase process. IT service providers offer web applications made available to consumers via the browser, which can fall under the BFSG. Each of these categories has typical barriers that we specifically check in the audit and address in remediation.

Particularly relevant for the Wolfsburg business landscape is the accessibility of career and application portals. Regardless of the disputed question of whether the BFSG covers application portals, inaccessible application forms structurally exclude qualified candidates with disabilities. We systematically audit and optimize these portals so that the entire application process is accessible. Our offering for e-commerce and for corporate websites covers the most important use cases.

Supply chain, third-party components and risk

In corporate environments the requirement can also arrive through the supply chain — what a violation can lead to is shown in the article on BFSG enforcement and legal risks. Because portal pages contain many embedded components, the article on third-party widgets and BFSG duties is worth reading. And form journeys where transactions can fail for people with disabilities are covered in the article on forms and validation.
