About Seviranta
Why Seviranta exists
An accessible website is not a luxury and not a legal side issue, it's how every customer comes in. We make that measurable and affordable, without false promises.
In short
Seviranta is an independent European platform that makes digital accessibility (WCAG 2.1 & 2.2 AA) measurable, understandable and affordable for e-commerce and SMEs. Where one-off audits go stale and overlay widgets don't touch the code, we test the fully rendered page as the browser renders it, against the standard under the European Accessibility Act, on the same WCAG basis that applies worldwide (including under the US ADA, the Canadian AODA and the UK Equality Act).
Why we had to build this ourselves
Since 28 June 2025 the European Accessibility Act applies across the EU: online stores and digital services must be accessible to people with disabilities. No longer a non-binding guideline, but law, and an obligation we, as business owners, have to meet ourselves.
When we had to comply ourselves, we ran into two extremes:
- Expensive manual audits, a snapshot costing thousands that is already outdated the moment your developer installs an app or your marketing team publishes a new landing page.
- Cheap overlay widgets that lay a layer over your site, do not fix the underlying code, slow your site down (bad for your Core Web Vitals), and sell you a false sense of safety, while sites running such a widget are precisely the ones being targeted in lawsuits.
We did not want a report that was outdated after a single deploy, nor a widget that made us more legally exposed than doing nothing. What we needed, a solid system that measures continuously, is open about what a machine can and cannot do, and builds a retainable file as evidence toward lawyers and regulators, did not exist in a form that held up.
So we built it ourselves, out of pure necessity: because we needed it, and because every entrepreneur who falls under this law deserves the same tooling, from a one-person webshop to a chain with hundreds of pages, anywhere in the world.
What we stand for
Real repair, not a layer
We don't put a widget over your site that keeps up appearances. We show what's wrong in the underlying code, so you actually fix it. That's the only thing that holds up, for your customers and in a claim.
What's certain, and what needs judgement
We show exactly what a machine can measure in black and white, and what needs human assessment. No false “100% guaranteed”, it doesn't exist, and whoever promises it is selling false certainty.
Your data stays yours
The free scan stores nothing. We read your page, show the result, and keep nothing back. Monitoring accessibility without becoming a risk ourselves.
Built in the EU, to the global standard
Seviranta is built in the Netherlands, to Europe's strict privacy and quality bar, and measures against WCAG: the global standard underneath the European Accessibility Act, the US ADA, the Canadian AODA and the UK Equality Act. One standard, applicable anywhere in the world.
Faster, not heavier
Fixing accessibility in the code itself improves your Core Web Vitals, no extra script slowing your site down, the way an overlay widget does. Better for your visitors and your Google ranking.
Who builds it
Seviranta is an independent Dutch initiative, born in e-commerce practice, with business owners who fall under this law themselves and have to comply themselves. We know the law, the technology and the doubt not from a boardroom, but from the daily work.
Seviranta is a trade name of 1Star BV, a Dutch company doing business in e-commerce since 2016, exactly the practice the European Accessibility Act applies to. This service was built when we had to comply ourselves. More about security, privacy and company details in our Trust Center.
And we keep building. With our team we work every day on tooling that moves with the law and with your site, and that genuinely helps other business owners forward. That we can make a difference with it is a privilege, and it keeps us sharp on how it should be: open about what a scan can and can't do, frugal with your data, and without the overblown promises this market is full of.
