From June 28, 2025: BFSG-compliant accessibility required
Especially with complex templates and modules, accessibility is often neglected – which brings not only legal but also business risks.
From June 28, 2025, the BFSG requires Contao websites to offer accessible digital content. This includes navigation, forms, images, texts, and all interactions.
With SiteCockpit, you equip your Contao site with tools that enable efficient and sustainable accessibility.
