Hi @zeppelin here's my recommendation. I am not sure where you want me to put it, but maybe you can review it here first:

Intro
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is already in effect, and by June 2025, digital products targeting European users must be fully accessible to people with disabilities. If you haven't started planning for compliance, now is the time because non-compliance could cost your business.

TLDR
By June 28, 2025, all digital products and services targeting EU users must meet accessibility standards under the European Accessibility Act (EAA). This includes everything from websites and apps to platforms in sectors like e-commerce, finance, and education. Failing to comply could result in fines of €5,000 to €20,000 per violation, with daily penalties up to €1,000 if issues persist.

Mainmatter can simplify this process for you. With our expertise and tools, we’ll help ensure your products are fully accessible, minimizing legal risks and improving the experience for all your users.

Bottom line
The European Accessibility Act is setting the bar for accessibility across the EU, with the June 2025 deadline coming up fast. It might seem like a lot to take on, but with the right tools and a little planning, it’s completely doable. Making accessibility a priority now doesn’t just help you avoid penalties—it makes your products better for everyone. So why wait? Let’s get started and make sure your digital experiences are accessible to all.
