Our mission is to transform digital cultures, ensuring that every user experience is intuitive, empathetic, and open to everyone, because in the digital world, there should be no closed doors. Vially is a digital accessibility consultancy and SAAS company dedicated to digital inclusivity. We help brands future-proof their digital infrastructure by bridging the gap between standard platforms and accessible design.
Digital Inclusion is about making technology accessible for all, regardless of the Assistive technology they use. Vially’s solution helps businesses become accessible to everyone, while complying with WCAG guidelines to meet EAA & ADA standards.
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is a landmark piece of legislation that mandates essential products and services—including e-commerce, banking, and transportation websites—be accessible to everyone by June 2025.
If your business operates in the EU or serves EU citizens, you are legally required to comply. At Vially, we view the EAA not as a hurdle, but as a catalyst for innovation. By meeting these standards, you aren’t just avoiding legal risk; you’re opening your brand to millions of potential customers previously excluded from the digital conversation.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the international gold standard for digital inclusion. Currently, the most critical benchmark is WCAG 2.2 Level AA.
These guidelines ensure your platform is:
Vially recommends aiming for 2.2 AA compliance to future-proof your digital infrastructure against evolving standards.
Absolutely. In the eyes of search engines like Google, Accessibility = User Experience (UX).
When you optimise for accessibility, you are inherently optimising for SEO. Elements like descriptive header structures, clear alt-text for images, and transcripts for video content provide search engines with a clearer map of your site’s value. Furthermore, accessible sites typically see lower bounce rates and higher dwell times, two signals that tell Google your site is a high-quality resource, leading to higher search visibility.
While accessibility is often discussed in the context of the 1.3 billion people globally living with a disability, the benefits are universal.
Inclusive design helps:
The risks are threefold: legal, commercial, and reputational. Beyond the significant fines associated with the EAA and other global mandates, brands that fail to prioritise inclusion are effectively ignoring the massive spending power of people with disabilities and their families.
In 2026, an inaccessible website is a public statement of exclusion. Vially helps you flip that narrative, turning compliance into a competitive advantage that celebrates your commitment to radical inclusivity.
