Partnering with Brightec to help companies make meaningful, EAA compliant technology

That’s why we’re excited to announce our partnership with Brightec - an award-winning app design and development agency. By combining their deep expertise in user-focused app development with our rigorous approach to QA and accessibility testing, we’re aiming to help companies meet the requirements of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) while ensuring their digital products deliver seamless, inclusive user experiences.

Why we’re partnering now

The EAA is a crucial step forward in creating a more inclusive digital landscape. By establishing common accessibility regulations across EU member states, it aims to provide companies with a clear framework for compliance. Ensuring people with disabilities and the elderly have access to essential products, information and services.

With the EAA’s compliance deadline approaching in June 2025, companies need to act now to ensure their digital products meet the new standards. Failing to comply could result in legal penalties, restricted market access, and, most importantly, digital barriers that could exclude millions of users.

As accessibility standards continue to evolve, we know how important it is for companies to stay ahead of the curve – and, together with Brightec, we’re here to help them do just that.

Our shared commitment to accessibility

Brightec shares our passion for accessibility. Their expertise in developing intuitive, high-quality mobile applications perfectly complements our extensive experience in software testing and digital accessibility. By working together, we can provide a comprehensive approach to accessibility - combining thoughtful design and development with rigorous testing to ensure compliance with the EAA and other accessibility standards.

Where Brightec excels in intuitive, user-first design, Zoonou ensures those designs meet real-world accessibility standards through thorough WCAG testing and compliance checks. This partnership means companies can confidently create digital experiences that don’t just look great but work seamlessly for every user.

What this means for our respective clients:

• Compliance with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and global accessibility standards.
• A user-first approach to accessibility, ensuring better experiences for all users.
• Expert guidance from both a design and testing perspective, delivering robust, inclusive digital products.

Our goal is simple: to make digital products more accessible, more inclusive, and better for everyone.

‘Accessibility should never be an afterthought. By working with Brightec, we can support companies in building digital experiences that are accessible by design and rigorously tested for real-world use. Together, we’re ensuring that accessibility is not just a compliance checkbox but a fundamental part of digital innovation.’
