Accessibility
Making your digital presence accessible to every user
Why accessibility matters now
The April 2024 amendment to Japan's Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities made 'reasonable accommodation' a legal obligation for private businesses. For companies with digital products and services, web accessibility is now directly in scope.
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) adds further urgency for Japanese organisations with EU operations: digital products and services must comply from June 2025 onwards.
Beyond legislation, the business case is clear. Over 29% of Japan's population is currently aged 65 or older — a figure projected to reach 35% within the decade. Globally, the WHO estimates that 16% of the population lives with some form of disability. A website that fails basic accessibility criteria is inaccessible to a significant share of its intended audience.
The cost of a reactive approach
Accessibility is often treated as a final-stage QA task, handled by a small group of specialists just before launch. This reactive approach leads to expensive rework, delayed releases, and compliance gaps that accumulate over time.
Siteimprove enables a Shift Left approach, detecting and resolving accessibility issues at the content creation and development stage, where fixes are fastest and cheapest. The earlier an issue is caught, the less it costs to fix.
