Legal requirements
Web accessibility standards are essential for creating inclusive digital environments that cater to all users, including those with disabilities.
These standards and regulations, such as those outlined by the Web Accessibility Directive in the European Union, ensure that websites and mobile applications are accessible to a broad audience, including people with disabilities.
By adhering to specified standards, such as EN 301 549 or WCAG, and implementing required elements like accessibility statements and feedback mechanisms, organizations can improve the user experience for a significant portion of the population that might otherwise be excluded
