Accessibility and legal pages are the two halves of website compliance that small businesses get fined or sued over. I write about both in plain English, and I co-build two tools that fix them.
Since 28 June 2025 many private-sector websites and apps selling to EU consumers must meet accessibility requirements, assessed in practice against WCAG 2.1 AA. Scope depends on what you sell and how big you are; the direction is clear.
A missing privacy policy, a cookie banner that sets trackers before consent, or terms copied from a competitor are the kind of visible, easy-to-prove problems regulators and complainants start with.
In the US, accessibility lawsuits against websites are filed by the thousands every year. Europe is earlier on that curve, but the EAA gives complainants a clear standard to point at.
Both are products I co-build under alfasystem.se. Both are free to start.

The engine behind Alfa Audit is open source on npm as @belikenikola/wcag-audit. One command, JSON/HTML/Markdown reports, exit codes for CI.
What the rules actually require, what fails most often, and how to fix it. No legalese.
How @belikenikola/wcag-audit went from a script I ran for clients to an npm package with a library API, a pluggable browser launcher, and a serverless Chromium deployment inside Alfa Audit. What axe-core can prove, what it can't, and how to use the CLI in CI without it blocking every merge.
Privacy policy, cookie policy, terms, returns, accessibility statement. Which ones apply to you, what each has to contain, what GDPR and ePrivacy enforcement really looks like for small businesses, and how to get the documents without paying a lawyer for boilerplate.
Six issues account for 96% of all accessibility errors on the web. Here are the ten failures that show up in nearly every audit I run, what each one means for a real person, and the exact code change that fixes it.
