Digital accessibility: accessible for every audience
Even in the digital world - from an app to a website - we want to serve every target group as well as possible. Especially with a broad target group, digital accessibility and inclusiveness are of great importance. A digitally accessible solution can be used well by everyone, including users with visual and/or physical disabilities such as (color) blindness, low literacy, deafness or low vision.
At DTT, we like to make sure that your solution meets the digital accessibility guidelines as outlined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). We determine the needs, then make the necessary adjustments and implement the desired solutions. This is how we help you provide an optimal user experience to the entire target audience.
You can read how we work for digital accessibility on this page. Want to know more? Feel free to contact us for an informal meeting.

What is digital accessibility?
Address a larger audience with inclusivity
Improve findability within search engines
Improve users' independence
Comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
How do we work?
01
We identify the needs for digitally accessible
First, we determine which WCAG requirement level your solution should meet. Government agencies are bound by "WCAG 2.1, level A + AA," as are semi-public agencies, such as hospitals, banks, housing associations and telecom companies.
We offer accessible insight into the different levels and share a recommendation for a connecting level. For this, we look at your target audience, stakeholders and type of organization, among other things.
02
We analyze the digital solution
We perform a quick scan on the current solution, from code to design. Based on this analysis, we come up with a reasoned recommendation for changes and optimizations in line with the set level of digital accessibility. This includes looking at colors and contrast, screen size, fonts, navigation and loading speed.
03
We provide tailored advice
Based on the analysis, we provide customized advice to make your solution more digitally accessible. We clearly indicate which adjustments need to be made to meet the desired level of WCAG.
Furthermore, we advise on additional adaptations and enrichments to provide a further optimal user experience for everyone within the target group, for example with a read-aloud or translation function, or an adapted font for people with dyslexia.

A clear advisory report including budget
We clearly set out our findings, the necessary improvements and the desired adjustments in an advisory report, including a management summary and a budget based on an open calculation. On the basis of the advisory report and the budget, together we can set priorities and make a planning to carry out the desired work.
SUPPLEMENTAL
We make the changes to your solution immediately
Once we have prioritized together, we can get to work on the various improvements and adjustments. Of course, in the meantime, the solution simply remains live. Do you work with your own developers or with another development party? Then of course we are also happy to support them.
SUPPLEMENTAL
A knowledge session on digital accessibility
We are happy to host a knowledge session to bring the team up to speed on digital-accessibility requirements and opportunities. From code and design to other solutions that can improve the user experience. After the knowledge session, your developers and designers will know exactly what is needed to continue ensuring digital-accessibility.
Frequently asked questions
What is digital accessibility?
Digital accessibility refers to the extent to which a digital solution is accessible to a user. Not all users are equally digitally literate. Users may also face challenges in terms of reading or language. In order to serve all these users effectively, it is important to make a digital solution as accessible as possible.
Is digital accessibility a requirement?
Not always, but in an increasing number of cases, good digital accessibility is a requirement. For example, for government agencies, but also for semi-public organisations such as hospitals, banks, housing associations and telecom companies. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) describe the requirements these organisations must meet.
In addition, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) will come into force on 28 June 2025. This European law obliges many companies to make their digital products and services accessible to everyone – including people with visual, auditory, motor or cognitive impairments. This includes websites, apps and platforms, but also e-commerce, e-books and digital payment solutions.
For organisations to which this regulation does not (yet) apply, optimising digital accessibility can be a conscious choice. For example, because they want to make their solution as inclusive as possible and serve their entire target group optimally.
What does digital accessibility entail?
Digital accessibility encompasses a wide range of aspects, from code to design and everything in between. These include colours and contrasts, screen sizes, navigation, font legibility, but also loading speed and other technical aspects that can hinder or facilitate use.
In addition, the digital world also offers many opportunities to improve the experience of different users. Think of read-aloud or translation functions, additional explanations for difficult concepts, or a special screen display to improve readability for people with dyslexia.
How much does it cost to have a digital accessibility scan performed?
The costs of a digital accessibility scan depend entirely on the solution, the objectives, the WCAG level and the target group. During a no-obligation introductory meeting, we would like to hear more about your organisation and the solution, after which we can provide an indication of the costs.
