From reactive audits to EAA-proof digital quality by design

Allxs helps product, engineering and compliance teams move away from last-minute accessibility fixes.

Chessboard with pawns, showing the King in front

Most companies treat accessibility as a final check, a yearly audit followed by a costly scramble to fix bugs.

Don’t just pass the audit, build a product that works by design.

With the EU Accessibility Act (EAA) now in force, “compliance by patch” is a liability.

The Audit Trap

Relying on audits alone creates a cycle of predictable failure:

  • Legal Risk: Audits don’t stop complaints, systemic accessibility does.
  • High Costs: Fixing bugs after launch is 30x more expensive.
  • Wasted Effort: The same errors reappear in every new release.

Move from Reactive to Proactive

Shift accessibility from a “last-minute task” to a “core quality standard.”

  • Design-In Quality: Fix patterns and flows, not just pages.
  • Empower Teams: Turn developers and designers into experts.
  • De-risk the EAA: Make compliance a natural outcome of your workflow.

How Allxs works with your teams

Allxs is not a generic consultancy dropping a one-off report.

We work alongside your teams to embed accessibility into the systems that already run your digital delivery: your SDLC, design system, governance and procurement.

Phase 1 – EAA readiness and governance gap analysis

We map your current situation across channels, brands and teams: which journeys are in scope, how accessibility is governed today, and where the biggest governance gaps are.

  • Identify governance gaps and owners across departments.
  • Scope EAA obligations per product and channel.
  • Review existing policies, guidelines and audit history.
Phase 2 – Design system and SDLC alignment

We align your design system and SDLC with WCAG 2.2 AA requirements, in a way that fits your existing tools and processes.

  • Define accessible tokens, components and patterns in your design system.
  • Integrate accessibility checkpoints into your SDLC gates and templates.
  • Set up review and sign-off flows that do not slow down delivery.
Phase 3 – Implementation coaching and capability building

We work with your designers, developers, testers and product owners on real work. The goal is skill transfer, not dependency.

  • Coaching on live products and backlogs, not abstract exercises.
  • Targeted training for design, engineering, QA, and procurement.
  • Support in vendor conversations where accessibility is a requirement.
Phase 4 – Continuous monitoring and reporting

Finally, we help you set up monitoring that balances automated checks, manual testing and governance reporting.

  • Risk-based monitoring across channels and brands.
  • Reporting tailored to executives, product teams and compliance.
  • Clear documentation of decisions and exceptions.

Discuss your EAA and accessibility roadmap

Whether you already run audits or are just starting to map your obligations, a short conversation can clarify what “accessibility by design” would mean in your context.
