What to do this quarter
Concrete next steps for Czechia businesses, in the order that minimises legal exposure fastest.
- Run a baseline WCAG 2.1 AA scan. You can't fix what you can't see, and most enforcement actions target the same handful of failures (contrast, alt text, form labels, keyboard navigation).
- Publish an accessibility statement. This is a separate EAA obligation under EN 301 549 — every consumer- facing site needs one, and several countries (notably France) attach a separate fine for missing it. Free generator →
- Identify your highest-risk surfaces first. If you sell anything online, your checkout matters more than your blog. Prioritise the user journeys that produce revenue.
- Document remediation. The fine ranges above describe maximum statutory penalties. In practice, regulators across the EU look at good-faith effort and a clear remediation plan when deciding what to actually impose.
