Indicative values based on the Act of 26 April 2024. Not legal advice.

§ 1. The problem

Accessibility is no longer a nice-to-have. It is an obligation, with a deadline and a penalty.

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) was transposed in Poland by a statute that covers e-commerce and consumer banking, among others. Only micro-enterprises providing services are exempt.

A customer who cannot add a product to the cart with a screen reader, or cannot read a price because of low contrast, can file a complaint. You have 30 days to respond. The next step can be a request to the President of PFRON.

A traditional audit costs PLN 3,000 to 15,000 and goes stale with the next marketing campaign. Free tools speak to developers, not to business risk.

§ 2. How it works

Three steps, about twenty seconds.

  1. Paste your store URL

    We pick the homepage and three high-risk subpages: product, category and cart.

  2. The engine tests rendered pages

    A specialized accessibility engine checks contrast, form labels, alt text, heading structure, button names and dozens of other rules.

  3. You get a risk index and fixes

    The first 3 critical barriers are shown right away. Unlock the full report with your email and tax ID.

§ 3. Platform

The scanner is just the start. Scanority covers the whole process.

The Act requires more than an accessible site — you must also handle customer complaints within 30 days. We are building one place for all of it, from finding a barrier to answering a complaint.

Our direction

Rules today. More context tomorrow.

An automated scan is a starting point, not a finish line. We are developing a process combining repeatable checks, purchase context and human verification.

  1. Available now

    Established WCAG rules

    A specialized accessibility engine analyses rendered pages. Each finding identifies the element, its impact and a practical direction for fixing it.

  2. Planned · AI

    Analysis beyond the rules

    We plan to use AI to assess image context, content and purchase journeys — to highlight more areas needing verification.

  3. Always needed

    Human verification

    Keyboard, screen reader and real user experience. AI should support this stage, not replace an expert’s judgment.

AI is not yet part of this scan. We will not claim a higher coverage percentage without measurement. More findings do not mean a compliance certificate.

§ 4. Our position

We don't sell overlays. Here's why.

Accessibility widgets that add a contrast or font-size button do not fix the page's code. The barrier for a screen reader stays exactly where it was.

Disability organisations and experts have warned for years that overlays can actually get in the way of assistive technology. In the US, companies using overlays are still being sued.

Scanority points to the exact element, the WCAG rule and the fix to ship in code. Accessibility that lives in your product, not in a script.

§ 5. A sample report entry

Here is what a single barrier looks like in a report.

Critical · WCAG 2.1 · 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (A)

“Add to cart” button has no accessible name for screen readers

/product/winter-jacket

A blind user only hears “button”. They cannot tell it adds the product to the cart, so it blocks the purchase.

<button class="btn-cart">
  <svg>…</svg>
</button>

Fix

<button class="btn-cart"
  aria-label="Add to cart">
  <svg aria-hidden="true">…</svg>
</button>

§ 7. Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is my company covered by the Accessibility Act?

If you run an online store or another consumer e-commerce service and you are not a micro-enterprise (fewer than 10 employees and turnover or balance sheet of up to EUR 2 million), most likely yes. See our guide to the Act for details.

Does the scan guarantee compliance?

No, and no automated tool can. Automation typically catches 30–40% of WCAG issues. The rest needs manual testing with a keyboard and a screen reader, so every report includes a manual testing checklist.

Why do you ask for a tax ID (NIP)?

It lets us check whether the company is an exempt micro-enterprise and give a sound recommendation. We don't spam, and you can have your data deleted at any time.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The scan runs from the outside, like a visitor. We add no script or overlay to your store.

Which testing engine do you use?

axe-core by Deque, the same engine used by Google Lighthouse and Microsoft Accessibility Insights. We add plain-language explanations, business priorities and a risk index on top.

From the founder

I'm building Scanority because I've seen too many stores buy an accessibility widget and consider the job done. The Act doesn't work that way. I'd rather tell you honestly what needs fixing than sell you a false sense of security.
