Here’s why Ankerkraut chose Eye-Able®

Ankerkraut chose Eye-Able®, based on prior success from within the team.


“Our Product Owner had already used Eye-Able® in previous projects - with great results. That made the decision easy.” - said Oliver.

Compared to alternatives, Eye-Able® stood out with:

  • Smooth integration: Eye-Able® pre-configured the domain; onboarding was quick and simple.

  • WCAG-based reporting: Automatic audits with concrete improvement suggestions.

  • Smart prioritization: Tasks ranked by score impact and implementation effort - perfect for the dev team.

“The dashboard doesn’t just show problems - it offers solutions. That’s exactly what we need to take effective action.” - said Oliver Steinhoff.

Results that last: Ankerkraut relies on Eye-Able®

Accessibility at Ankerkraut is not a checkbox - it’s a continuous process. But the first wins came fast.


“We’re constantly updating our content and features. With Eye-Able®, we can now ensure accessibility from the start - and document our progress along the way.”- said Oliver Steinhoff

Key outcomes so far:

  • A clear, ongoing audit process

  • Fast identification of “low hanging fruit”

  • Empowered development team with ready-to-implement solutions.

Accessibility will remain an integral part of Ankerkraut’s digital strategy - and Eye-Able® is here to stay.
