𝗘𝗔𝗔 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲, 𝗺𝗮𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝘄 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝗰𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗷𝗸?

Toegankelijkheid is geen extraatje.
Het is een belofte aan elke bezoeker: jij hoort erbij.

Sinds 28 juni 2025 geldt de 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝘁 (𝗘𝗔𝗔). Nieuwe websites, plugins en diensten moeten direct voldoen. Bestaande sites hebben tot 2030, mits er aantoonbare voortgang is. Een klacht, controle of aanpassing aan je website kan die deadline zomaar naar voren schuiven.

De gevolgen? Boetes, beperkingen, maar vooral: gemiste verbinding.
Want wat zegt je merk als niet iedereen je kan bereiken?

Bij WP Masters geloven we dat échte toegankelijkheid begint bij bewust ontwerp.
Niet omdat het moet. Maar omdat het hoort.

Van code tot content.
Van design tot beleving.
Van naleving tot verantwoordelijkheid.

Wij helpen teams en merken bouwen aan websites die werken voor iedereen.
Met audits, quick wins en een strategie die niet alleen voldoet aan de wet, maar ook aan je waarden.

Een toegankelijke (WCAG) site is geen last.
Het is een kans om te laten zien waar je merk voor staat.

De vraag is niet of je ermee aan de slag moet.
Maar 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘳.

Waar begin jij als je werkt aan digitale toegankelijkheid?

𝗣𝗲𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗯𝗲𝘇𝗼𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗱𝗲𝘇𝗲𝗹𝗳𝗱𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗷𝗱 𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘁
Vandaag is een heerlijke dag, want ik ben met mijn dochter.
En vandaag viel me iets op dat ik meteen herkende uit mijn werk.

De snelheid waarmee haar aandacht verschuift, is identiek aan hoe mensen door websites bewegen.

Ze kijkt in een boek.
Wil daarna tekenen.
Dan hoort ze een geluid.
Dan wil ze een knuffel.
Alles in slechte enkele secondes.

En eerlijk: zo werkt het online net zo.

Een bezoeker komt binnen met volle aandacht.
Die aandacht brokkelt af met elke seconde dat je hem niet geeft wat hij zoekt.
Elke verstoring kost je conversies.
Elke onduidelijkheid kost je vertrouwen.

Bij mijn dochter zie ik precies hetzelfde gebeuren.
Als iets niet duidelijk is, haakt ze af.
Als iets te lang duurt, loopt ze weg.
Als iets niet leuk genoeg is, verliest ze interesse.

Het is geen onwil.
Het is gewoon hoe het brein werkt.

𝗘𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗱𝘁 𝗱𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘃𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗷𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲.

𝗜𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗿𝘂𝗸 𝗺𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴... 𝗺𝗮𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗸𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝘁 𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗷𝗸 𝘄𝗲𝗹?

AI-tools schieten als paddenstoelen uit de grond, video’s domineren de tijdlijn en overal wordt gepost, getest en geanalyseerd. Maar opvallend genoeg vertrouwt slechts 18% van de mkb-marketeers echt op wat ze doen.

Hoe dat kan? Omdat er genoeg tools zijn, maar weinig duidelijkheid.
Veel ondernemers hebben simpelweg geen idee wat nu echt verschil maakt. En dan voelt marketing al snel als bezig zijn om het bezig zijn.

Toch schijnt er ook goed nieuws te zijn:
E-mailmarketing is bezig met een comeback. Herkenbaar, meetbaar en volgens 44% van de respondenten gewoon effectief. Soms is de slimste stap dus niet meer doen, maar beter kiezen.

👉 Wil je niet alleen meer doen, maar vooral beter weten wat werkt? We kijken graag met je mee! Stuur me gerust een bericht.
