We’re thrilled to kick off 2025 with having received not just one but three G2 awards. Stark was named a Leader in Digital Accessibility Tools, 2 x Best est. ROI in Digital Accessibility Tools as well as Digital Accessibility Platforms. And most importantly, we continue to be awared the Users Love Us award for exceptional customer satisfaction. We couldn’t be more grateful to our customers and community for your support!

This year is shaping up to be a pivotal year for digital accessibility. Especially in Europe with enforcement of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) going into effect on June 28. The effects of this modern regulation will be global however, because they impact any company that is already selling or planning to offer their products and services in the European Union.

The urgency is high but it’s not too late to act. We highly recommend every customer starts with implementing proactive end-to-end monitoring with Stark which is one of the key requirements of the EAA. This will enable the assessment of gaps and subsequently track progress in real-time. 

Plus, with Compliance Center you’ll be able to track accessibility compliance beyond the product development lifecycle – from HR and procurement to marketing and sales.

So, we’ve put together relevant resources to guide you through the EAA regulations as well as upcoming global requirements.

• Our primer on the EAA, its implications, and how to comply
• Whitepaper on “Continuous Accessibility” to ensure compliance at any scale
• Stark’s Compliance Center to help your legal team stay on top of requirements for each department
• A free Accessibility Metrics Scorecard template

For those who are not yet Stark customers, the easiest way to get started with your proactive accessibility workflow is to sign up for a free trial, set up your most important projects with monitoring from design over code to the live product, and start tackling those compliance issues collaboratively. 

And if you have any questions, we’d love to hear from you, so please get in touch with your thoughts and feedback at support@getstark.co, or join the conversations in our Stark Slack Community, on LinkedIn, and on Twitter.

Have a successful 2025!
