A new law came into effect last week, which might affect your work.

If you create any type of content online (organic or paid), especially if you’ve EU clients or sell digital products, you need to be aware of this.

This new law, known as the European Accessibility Act, is all about making online content more accessible.

You might fall under the EAA if:

• You work with EU-based clients (e.g. you manage their website or socials)
• You sell digital products to consumers in the EU
• You run a membership or course with EU buyers
• You ship physical products to EU customers

If any of that sounds familiar, read the full blog our Inner Hub member, Anika, wrote for you.​

Even if you don't have to comply with the EEA, you should probably follow it to make sure as many people as possible can enjoy your online content.

Here are some quick tips to make your content more accessible

• Add meaningful alt-text to your images
• Incorporate open or closed captions on your videos
• Use CamelCase in your hashtags
• Allow for colour contrast when overlaying text onto images or videos
• Avoid ‘fancy’ fonts, use a sans serif font
• Keep emojis to a minimum and try to place them at the end of sentences, not in the middle.
• Include website links in meaningful text, not ‘click here’ text links

When clients know you comply with up-to-date legislation and work hard to make their content accessible to all, it makes you look even more professional!
