Legal Framework and Compliance Status
Lassal operates as a microbusiness under German and EU accessibility regulations. Under the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG), which implements the European Accessibility Act (EAA), microbusinesses with fewer than 10 employees and annual turnover below €2 million are exempt from mandatory accessibility compliance requirements for services.
While this website serves international clients, primary legal obligations are governed by German law where the business is based. For clients in other jurisdictions, we acknowledge international accessibility standards including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and recognize the importance of inclusive design principles.
This website serves as a business-card presentation of creative services, with portfolio content shared individually with prospective and existing clients rather than being publicly promoted or menu-accessible. As such, it falls outside the scope of mandatory WCAG compliance under current German accessibility legislation.
Accessibility Commitment
Despite exemption status, I am committed to accessibility and have made reasonable efforts to improve site usability within available resources. This commitment extends to serving all clients regardless of location or ability. Essential accessibility requirements including adequate color contrast and meaningful alternative text have been implemented where technically feasible.
Some flagged accessibility issues result from limitations of the current theme framework (Divi) and how automated scanning tools interpret dynamic content. Certain design elements—such as image attribution text, navigation redundancies, or slider controls—represent intentional design choices that do not materially impact accessibility.
Ongoing Efforts
As an independent creator, I continue to assess and improve site accessibility within reasonable technical and financial constraints. Accessibility improvements will be implemented as theme updates become available and resources permit.
