Some of your customers don't have perfect vision. Some make the text on their phone bigger, some use a screen reader, some navigate only with a keyboard because they can't use a mouse. They want to book with you just like everyone else, and if your website gets in their way, they'll leave for someone else without telling you.
That's why websites created with Vela follow the international standard WCAG 2.1 level AA, the very benchmark Europe uses for accessibility.
What we actually do
This isn't an empty promise: these are checks our builder applies automatically to every site, without you needing to know anything technical.
- Always readable text. Contrast between text and background is calculated, not eyeballed. If a color chosen for your site is too light to read easily, the system darkens it just enough while keeping the same shade.
- Every picture has a description. People who listen to the page hear what the photo shows, instead of silence.
- Everything works with a keyboard. Menus, forms, and buttons can be reached without a mouse, and it's always clear where you are on the page.
- Forms you can actually fill out. Every field has a clear label, phones pull up the right keyboard, and errors clearly tell you which field needs fixing.
- Clean structure. Proper heading levels and a link to jump straight to the content: screen reader users find their way around in seconds instead of listening to the whole menu on every single page.
- Less motion for those who need it. If you turned on reduced motion on your phone or computer, the website respects it.
Why we do it even if we don't have to
Let's be completely honest here. The European Accessibility Act, the European directive in force from June 28, 2025, explicitly exempts microenterprises providing services. Vela is a microenterprise and its clients are microenterprises: neither we nor you are legally required to comply with these requirements.
We still follow them for practical reasons, even before ethical ones. A readable website works better for everyone, not just for people with disabilities: it's easy to read in direct sunlight, on the bus, on a small screen, or when you forgot your glasses at home. The goal is to make sure no potential customer gives up on contacting you for a reason we could have avoided.
Be wary of anyone promising a site that is "fully compliant with accessibility laws" and charging you extra for it: if you run a small business, that legal obligation most likely does not apply to you. The right question isn't whether you're forced by law, but whether your customers can read your site easily.
What depends on you
We take care of the framework, but some things remain in your hands—and they're the ones that make all the difference:
- Describe the photos you upload when prompted: just a few words about what is shown are enough.
- Keep your text short and simple, which is what we'd recommend anyway to sell more.
- If you customize your website colors, make sure the text stays easy to read against the background.
Known limitations
We will never claim that Vela websites are one hundred percent perfect, because that wouldn't be true and nobody can honestly promise that. You write the content, and unclear copy or an undescribed photo will remain that way regardless of the tool. What we do guarantee is that the technical foundation of your site will never get in the way.
If you spot anything you can't read or use properly, let us know: this is the most helpful feedback we get, and we'll fix it.
