What will the 2025 European Accessibility Act mean for B2SMB website resellers

The EAA comes into force on 28 June 2025 and is a step toward proper accessibility for everyone in the European Economic Area (EEA), regardless of their abilities. 

In this blog post, we will look into this upcoming legislation and implications for B2SMB website resellers within the EEA.

We will also give you some insights into what Mono Solutions, as a white label solution provider, is doing to make sure our platform is the compliant foundation needed by website resellers.  

Let’s dive in. 

What is the European Accessibility Act (EAA)?

The EAA represents a significant effort to improve accessibility across the EU market. 

Its guiding principle is "design for all," aiming to remove barriers that limit the participation of persons with disabilities in society.

To achieve this, it sets common accessibility standards for key products and services.

The EAA mandates that digital interfaces, including websites, be accessible to persons with disabilities. 

Mono’s white label website platform complies with WCAG 2.1 Level AA

The Mono Platform meets the requirements of WCAG 2.1 Level AA. 

Thus, we are already compliant with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) of 2025. 

As the leading white label website platform in Europe, Mono Solutions is committed to providing a platform that allows resellers to offer a compliant product on the European market. More information here. 

How can I make sure my customer websites are compliant?

To best serve your SMB clients, it is highly recommended you build your customer websites with accessibility in mind. 

Practically, for B2SMB website resellers, it means complying to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

You must also publicly post regularly updated accessibility statement explaining accessible content standards and you must give users a link to give feedback.

Please note that requirements outlined by the EAA do not apply to microenterprises. A "microenterprise" is defined as a business with fewer than 10 employees and either an annual turnover or a balance sheet total not exceeding €2 million. 

When is a website accessible according to the EAA?

The European Accessibility Act dictates that websites must be created with the concept “design for all” in mind. This means the websites should be designed to cater to as many different types of abilities as possible.

This means for example having captions on videos, alternative text on images and sufficient colour contrast on text versus background.

The Mono Platform includes all the infrastructural components to make this as easy for you to achieve.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)

Although the European Accessibility Act does not name a specific standard, The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 is generally agreed upon.

WCAG are a set of internationally recognized standards for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

You can use WCAG's four principles described below to make your client websites fully accessible: 

• Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presented in ways that users can perceive.
• Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable.
• Understandable: Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable.
• Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
