Best Examples of EAA Compliant Websites in 2025

With the European Accessibility Act deadline approaching, a lot of teams are scrambling to get their sites up to standard. To help, we’ve put together a list of the best EAA compliant websites we could find -the ones that actually get it right, both in spirit and in execution.

In this list, you’ll find websites that are WCAG 2.1/2.2 Level AA+ compliant, built with accessibility at the core. We skipped sites using accessibility widgets or overlays, because honestly, those just don’t help. The listed sites are accessible by design, right from the code up.

Best Examples of EAA Compliant Websites

• W3C: The organisation that defines web standards
• Scope UK: Disability equality charity
• Patagonia: Outdoor clothing and gear brand
• CookieYes: SaaS platform for cookie consent and privacy compliance
• Adrian Roselli: Personal blog of an accessibility expert

#1. W3C

The W3C website feels exactly like what you’d expect from the group that sets the rules for the web. It’s not trying to wow you with design. And if you think it looks plain, that’s kind of the point. It puts performance and usability first, and everything else takes a back seat.

This site is THE gold standard for accessibility. It makes excellent use of semantic HTML, landmark roles, and ARIA where appropriate – the kind of structural clarity that assistive tech relies on. Whether you’re using a screen reader, a mouse, or just tabbing around, the experience stays smooth.

If you’re working on a government, documentation, or education site and want to keep things accessible, fast, and user-first, W3C is a solid one to learn from.

#2. Scope UK

Scope UK is a disability equality charity, and its website reflects that mission from the very first click. It’s bold, bright, and focused on clarity. The colour choices are confident but accessible, with strong contrast and clear, easy-to-read text that helps you stay focused on the content.

It’s also one of those rare sites that takes accessibility very seriously (as it should, given its mission). Scope aims for WCAG 2.2 AAA and is already partially compliant, with regular testing every six months to catch issues and keep improving.

If you’re aiming for a design that feels accessible without being overly minimal or clinical, Scope UK strikes a great balance worth learning from.

#3. Patagonia

Patagonia is one of the best examples of an accessible e-commerce website done right. The pages are well structured and clearly categorised, making the site easy to navigate.

What else? The keyboard experience is solid – menus, filters, product grids, and CTAs are all accessible without a mouse. Even dense sections like product listings and size selectors are fully operable by keyboard, making the shopping experience smoother for everyone.

If you’re designing an e-commerce site, this is one of the better examples to draw inspiration from. And from the SEO perspective, they handle faceted navigation well too.

#4. CookieYes

CookieYes is a conversion-focused site that doesn’t compromise on accessibility. The layout is clean and purposeful, with well-placed CTAs and clear messaging that guide users from interest to action. It’s all designed to reduce friction and keep the experience smooth.

At the same time, it gets the accessibility basics right. Colour contrast is strong, typography is easy to read, and interactive elements like toggles and buttons are well-labelled and generously sized. Keyboard navigation follows a logical order, with no unexpected traps or dead ends.

If you’re working on a product marketing site and want to balance conversion and accessibility, CookieYes is a solid example to learn from.

#5. Adrian Roselli

Adrian Roselli’s website greets you with a bold black background (white when light mode is enabled), high-contrast text, and zero fluff. There’s also an accent colour that changes with each refresh, used in headings, links, and outlines, adding a bit of personality.

We liked two things: first, the homepage swaps the typical nav bar for a row of clearly separated pill-style buttons – clear and refreshing. Second, it supports dark and light modes based on your system settings. Not to mention, the site fully conforms to WCAG 2.1 AA.

If you’re working on a blog, personal site, or any reading-focused experience, this is a great example to learn from. It’s minimal, well-structured, and puts usability first.
