Accessibility – obligation and opportunity in one
Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) obliges many operators of online shops to implement accessible content.
This also applies to many Magento shops – especially if you
-
employ more than 10 people
-
generate annual revenue of more than €2 million
-
offer digital services such as forms, bookings or customer areas
Failure to act in time risks fines up to €100,000, legal warnings from competitors and damage to your reputation.
