Introduction<\/b><\/h3>\n

From 28 June 2025, all online shops in Hungary will be required to be barrier-free. This is not just a nice-sounding directive, it is a legal obligation that is monitored by the consumer protection authority. Accessible online shops ensure that people with disabilities can fully use online shops, including shopping, navigation and access to information. <\/span><\/p>\n

This can be particularly important:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • For visually impaired customers using screen reading software,<\/span><\/li>\n
  • For users with reduced mobility who navigate using only a keyboard,<\/span><\/li>\n
  • For colour vision impaired and visually impaired users,<\/span><\/li>\n
  • For hearing impaired people.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Accessibility is not only a mandatory requirement, but can also be a business benefit, improving SEO performance, increasing the customer base, helping to highlight a brand’s social responsibility and providing a better user experience.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

                  • We bring together the most important shortcomings<\/b>and rank them,<\/span><\/li>\n
                  • We estimate the number of hours<\/b> for each repair, so it is easy to determine what level of accessibility can be achieved.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
