Nowadays, more and more processes take place online, including shopping, of course. However, not all people have the same opportunity to use online offers and this due to a lack of accessibility. That's why we are very happy to announce our partnership with OXID eSales AG! a leading company in the field of e-commerce solutions. This partnership marks an important step towards a more inclusive digital future.
In a world where almost everything is available online, e-commerce websites and platforms must be accessible to all users. This includes people with different abilities and impairments, from visual and hearing impairments to motor impairments, as well as the elderly. By making our services available at Eye-Able® kOXID eSales AG is now able to provide more than 25 functions that make online shopping more barrier-free and is thus well prepared for the new accessibility law that comes into force on June 28, 2025. Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG).
