Accessibility in 2025: How SmartCMS’s AI Chatbot and Customizable Avatar Can Help

Starting in 2025, a new law will require all public and private websites in the EU to be fully accessible for people with disabilities. This legislation aims to ensure that everyone, regardless of physical, sensory, or cognitive impairments, has unrestricted access to digital content. For many organizations, this presents a significant challenge in adapting their websites to meet these new requirements.

What Does Web Accessibility Mean?

Web accessibility ensures that content is usable by everyone, including those with disabilities. Key aspects of accessibility include:

  • Alternative text for images
  • Clear and intuitive navigation
  • Compatibility with screen readers and assistive technologies
  • Use of simple language
  • High-contrast designs for better readability

Failure to comply with these requirements could result in penalties and a damaged brand reputation. However, with the right technology, making your website accessible doesn’t have to be complicated.

The Challenge for Businesses

Updating a website to comply with accessibility standards can be a resource-intensive process, especially when it comes to managing new content. Ensuring that every piece of content is accessible, while keeping editorial processes efficient, can be complex.
