How Accessible Websites Support Public Institutions
Accessibility add-ons are not a solution. It's harmful.
Real accessibility requires structural work: readable layouts, semantic HTML, proper contrast, and compatibility with assistive technologies.
Institutions that prioritize this see:
Increased reach and usability for elderly and disabled users
Compliance with EU Directive 2016/2102 and Lithuanian regulations
Fewer complaints and legal risks
Stronger reputation and public trust
Lower bounce rates and longer on-site engagement from all users

what you get
What is included in our services?
When you work with us, your institution gets more than a checklist—we deliver complete, tested, and documented accessibility upgrades:
Accessibility Audit & Upgrade Plan
We run a full audit of your current website and create a roadmap to meet all WCAG 2.1 AA and national standards. This includes automatic tests, screen reader simulation, and manual user testing.Keyboard Navigation & Layout Fixes
We optimize every page to be used without a mouse. That means logical tab order, clear focus indicators, and skip-navigation links for screen reader users.Audio Functionality & Read-Aloud Tools
We install tools that allow users to hear the content spoken aloud, increasing accessibility for people with low vision or reading difficulties.Ongoing Testing & Documentation
After implementation, we validate every change with real assistive tech and prepare documentation for internal training, public transparency, or procurement purposes.Creating Success
What makes our accessibility service so effective?
We implement at the code level—not with surface plugins
Many public institutions rely on accessibility overlays or widgets, which cover up the real issues. We address the root causes: semantic HTML, proper contrast ratios, logical heading structure, keyboard usability, and screen reader compatibility.
We combine legal, technical, and real user knowledge
Our team doesn’t stop at technical checks. We test your site with real users who have visual, motor, and cognitive disabilities. We also ensure your site complies with both WCAG 2.1 AA and national laws, including the EU Directive 2016/2102
We go beyond checklists to improve actual usability
Accessibility is more than passing a test—it’s about real people being able to use your site. We optimize content structure, interaction flows, mobile layouts, and assistive technology support.

FAQ
FAQs about paid search management
All public sector websites in the EU must comply with the EU Web Accessibility Directive (2016/2102). This law requires websites and mobile apps of public institutions to meet the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standard. It applies to national, regional, and local authorities, including schools, libraries, and hospitals. Compliance is not optional—it is legally binding. This is monitored by the Information Society Development Committee or similar entity, and failing to comply may result in audits, warnings, or public reports of non-compliance.
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) define how to make digital content usable for people with various disabilities—visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive. Level AA includes requirements such as keyboard-only navigation, screen reader compatibility, color contrast, readable text structure, and alternative descriptions for images. Meeting this standard ensures that everyone, including older adults and people with disabilities, can use your website fully. It also aligns with EU principles of equal access to digital public services.
Yes. While the EU Directive does not specify fines, member states are responsible for enforcement. In practice, this may include official inspections, public notices of non-compliance, or being required to fix accessibility issues within a set deadline. In some countries, failure to comply can also affect eligibility for EU digital transformation funding. Beyond legal risk, inaccessibility can trigger complaints from citizens or disability rights groups, creating reputational damage and delays in service delivery.
A full audit checks if your site meets WCAG 2.1 AA and the EU Directive’s national implementation rules. This includes both automated testing (using tools that scan code for errors) and manual testing (real users or testers checking with screen readers and keyboard navigation). The audit identifies barriers such as missing text alternatives, non-functional forms, confusing menus, or poor color contrast. We also check if accessibility statements are present and accurate, which is required by law. The final report gives you a clear to-do list to reach compliance.
