Accessibility as a traceable task in everyday website work
Your website presents services, answers questions and guides people to the next step. Accessonaut helps you find specific barriers, prioritise fixes and check results again after changes.

Where everyday barriers arise
One new page element changes many journeys
A revised menu or contact form appears on many subpages. Check recurring components and their states so that individual fixes are made in the right places.
Marketing and tech see different problems
An unlabelled field is a concrete technical issue, but its effect only shows when someone uses it. Link findings to tasks such as getting in touch, looking for information or making a booking.
Unclear legal assumptions make planning harder
A company website is not automatically the same as a consumer shop. Distinguish public company information, specific services and contractual requirements from your clients.
These journeys should work for people
Make contact and information accessible
Check key service pages, contact forms and linked documents. Also check labels, error messages and the visible focus manually.
Watch for recurring errors
Use repeat scans and the configured monitoring to spot new or recurring automated findings. Fix the causes in templates, components and editorial processes.
Revise content with context
Only create image descriptions and simpler text drafts when you deliberately request them. Check meaning, factual accuracy and the actual context before approval.
A workflow your team can carry on
Narrow down services and target groups
Record whether your website informs, prepares contracts or offers services directly. Clarify the applicable rules and agreed requirements before you define a testing brief.
Choose meaningful pages
Start with one template per page type and one important contact or service journey. Use automated results as pointers and document the limits of your selection.
Fix causes as part of everyday work
Agree specific changes with your editorial and development teams. Check keyboard operation, contrast, clear labels and the feedback after a form is submitted.
Reassess changes
Repeat the technical sample and the affected manual tasks after updates. Only publish a documented testing status after reviewing its content.

Germany, Austria and Switzerland
Which framework applies depends on the country, the operator and the specific service. The following notes help you find the right original sources and next testing steps. The linked official sources are in German.
Germany
In Germany, the BFSG covers certain products and services, not every company website across the board. Check in particular whether your specific offering involves consumers and contracts.
Austria
In Austria, the BaFG applies to named products and services. There is a micro-enterprise exemption for services; a website that merely presents a company is not automatically a covered service.
Switzerland
In Switzerland, the BehiG covers private services only to a limited extent. Do not equate a Swiss company website with an EU website obligation across the board; also check relevant foreign markets.
What you also need to check
Free and Standard each include one website project with up to 5 and 25 pages per scan respectively. Standard costs €9, Pro €19 for 3 projects and Business €49 for 10 projects per month. All prices are final prices in euros. As a small business under § 19 of the German VAT Act (UStG), we do not charge VAT. Scheduled scans, automatic alt text and the browser assistant are included from Pro. The tool supports technical and editorial work. It does not decide on your company’s legal position and does not carry out a full manual conformance audit for you.
Frequently asked questions
Does every company website have to comply with the German BFSG?
That cannot be derived from the legal form or the mere existence of a website. What matters are the products and services named in the law, the specific consumer relevance and possible exemptions. Other regulations or contractual requirements may also apply.
What is available for AI drafts?
Shared AI attempts per calendar month for the AI features of your account: Free: 2, Standard: 15, Pro: 30, Business: 80. Requested calls count even if the provider fails. Your explicit approval is required before anything is sent to the configured AI service.
Does the widget fix all of our website code?
No. The widget offers supplementary reading aids and limited approved adjustments. Errors in structure, operation and business processes need targeted changes in the CMS or source code, followed by a check.
Ready for the first step?
The scanner also works without an installed widget. Start by checking an important page of your website.
