Accessibility for public sector websites: what the rules ask and where to start
Every public body in the EU, however small, must make its websites accessible. What the rules ask, how four countries apply them, and where to start.
ibin checks your page for barriers that stop people with disabilities from using it, and tells you in plain words what to fix first.
Every issue explains what is wrong, who it affects and where it happens, with steps you or your web builder can follow.
Step 1
Enter your address. We open the page just like a visitor would and look for barriers. You can follow along while it happens.
Step 2
See what matters most, where it happens and how to fix it, all in plain words.
Step 3
Check up to 200 pages at once, then share a public link that shows the work you have done.
Check up to 200 pages at once. Problems that repeat across your site show up once, in one report you can share with your team or web builder.
Automatic checks reliably find many common problems. For the rest, ibin shows you where to look.
When you ask for it, our AI assistant takes a second look at what checks cannot judge: whether image descriptions fit, whether links say where they go, whether the page works with only a keyboard, and how clear the language is. It rates each from 1 to 5 and says how sure it is, so you know where to look first.

What WCAG is, the difference between versions 2.1 and 2.2, what levels A, AA and AAA mean, which level the law asks for and how to use it without reading the whole thing.
Ready-to-paste accessibility instructions for Lovable, Bolt, v0 and similar tools, follow-up prompts for common problems, and a simple routine to check the result.
Yes. Checking a page is free and needs no account. Signing in is free too: it keeps your reports for 30 days and lets you check up to 200 pages of a site at once.
No. An automatic check finds part of the problems, often the most common ones, but not all of them. Some things need a person, like whether an image description is right. ibin helps you find and fix problems; it is not a certificate.
Things that stop people from using a site: text that is hard to read against its background, images without a description, form fields without a label, links and buttons without a name, headings out of order, a missing page language and more. The checks follow the international accessibility guidelines (WCAG).
Since 28 June 2025 the European Accessibility Act applies to many businesses that sell to consumers online, such as webshops and banks; the smallest companies are exempt for services. Public bodies have had to make their sites accessible for longer, whatever their size. Read more
No. Such add-ons let visitors change text size or colours, but they do not fix the problems in the site itself, and European disability organisations advise against relying on them. Fixing the site works better and lasts. Read more
Yes. Check a preview of your site, then use “Copy instructions for an AI tool” on each problem and paste them into your builder. Our guides give you instructions to set up once, so new pages start out right. Read more
Without an account, a check is deleted after 24 hours; with an account, after 30 days. If you turn on weekly checks, we keep a short summary of each check while they run. We use no tracking or advertising cookies and never sell data. Read more
