❓ Does the new EU accessibility rule apply to me?
In almost all cases: No.
The new EU rule on accessibility does not apply to private portfolio websites of artists, photographers, or creativeswho simply showcase their work online.
❓ Who is affected?
Accessibility requirements apply only to:
· Public institutions (e.g., government agencies, schools)
· Companies with annual revenue over €2 million that sell products or services online
· Real online shops or service platforms used commercially
❓ I have a simple portfolio site without a shop – do I need to change anything?
No.
If you're just showing your work and not selling services directly (like through a booking system), and you're not running a business making over €2 million annually, you are not affected.
❓ What if I sell prints or images?
As long as you’re not operating a full-fledged online shop, and not running a large commercial business, the rule doesn’t apply.
Creatives with small shops or print sales are generally not affected.
❓ Should I do anything anyway?
Accessibility is generally a good idea for user experience, including:
· Easy-to-read fonts
· High contrast for readability
· Alt-text for images
But this is voluntary, not legally required for Vsble users.
✅ Bottom line:
If you have a standard portfolio site on Vsble, you don’t need to worry.
You are not required to implement any specific accessibility standards under EU law.
