What happens if we are only partially conformant?

Partial conformance is the normal case in reality, especially with large, grown websites, and it is considerably better than inaction. What is decisive is how you handle it: transparency and a recognizable plan are your best protection here.

In the accessibility statement you can openly declare the status as partially conformant, concretely name the areas not yet accessible, and present a realistic timeframe for fixing them. It is important that this plan is then actually adhered to. Market surveillance authorities will likely consider whether a company is making serious, demonstrable efforts.

We help prioritize the remediation sensibly, first the barriers that block core functions. We derive this roadmap directly from the WCAG audit.
