Questions About Long-term Accessibility Strategy

Is accessibility worthwhile for websites with little traffic?

Answer

Yes, for several reasons. The most important is legal: the obligation under the BFSG is not measured by visitor numbers but by the type and provider of the service. A rarely visited site is therefore not automatically exempt, the litigation and fine risk exists regardless of traffic.

On top of that come tangible secondary effects: accessible structures, clean semantic markup and good operability also improve the general user experience and have a positive effect on SEO performance, which can even win traffic in the medium term.

At the same time, the effort for small sites with few page types is usually manageable, because few templates need to be tested and fixed. We provide a realistic assessment for your site in the initial consultation.
