OUR MISSION
Accessibility is not an extra burden.
It is the standard.
‘I founded IFDB GmbH in the belief that accessibility is not a compromise – but the most effective way to create excellent digital products. If you build for everyone, you build better.’
Lukas Maximilian Langer
Founder and Head of Audit & Certification
IFDB GmbH was founded with a clear objective: to design digital services in such a way that they are truly accessible to everyone – not because the law requires it, but because it is the right thing to do.
We view digital accessibility as a mark of quality that demonstrably strengthens businesses: greater reach, a better user experience, higher conversion rates and legal compliance with the BFSG.
Our work combines technical precision with strategic advice – from comprehensive audits in accordance with WCAG 2.2, through Access Ready® certification, to ongoing monitoring with Access Guard®.
What drives us is the belief that an accessible digital offering is not the end product – but the starting point for better digital experiences overall.

OUR OFFICES
Rooted in the region,
digitally unlimited
Digital inclusion knows no bounds, but it needs a strong foundation. Whilst we work at the forefront of technological innovation in Munich, in Straubing we uphold the values that have always driven us: honesty, passion and a deep connection to our local community. This combination of metropolitan expertise and deep local roots is what makes IFDB GmbH what it is – a partner that not only plans for inclusion, but lives and breathes it.
Innovation meets tradition
Munich: Digital accessibility at the heart of this innovation metropolis
Located right on Karlsplatz (Stachus), in the heart of one of Europe’s most important business hubs, IFDB GmbH supports companies and public authorities in the practical implementation of digital accessibility. Munich is the ideal location for being close to decision-makers: from here, we advise e-commerce platforms, financial service providers, media companies and public institutions on how to design their digital services in compliance with the BFSG.
Whether it’s a comprehensive accessibility audit, a WCAG assessment, Access-Ready® certification or contractual protection against formal warnings through Access Protect® – our Munich-based team is here to support you personally.
Attachment to local roots & digital vision
Straubing: Deep roots as a strength – digital accessibility for the region
Straubing is more than just a second location – it is where we began. Our deep roots in the “Gäuboden” region serve as a daily reminder of what digital inclusion stands for: accessibility for everyone, regardless of location, disability or technical equipment.
Based in Straubing, we support small and medium-sized enterprises, regional authorities and educational institutions in creating a web site that complies with legal standards for digital accessibility. After all, the obligation to ensure digital accessibility under the BFSG applies to businesses in Munich just as much as it does in Straubing – and so does our expertise.

Whether it’s your first audit, certification or ensuring the long-term sustainability of your digital services – we’ll support you personally and as equals. Talk to us about how we can make digital inclusion a matter of course within your organisation.
An approach that goes beyond compliance
Digital accessibility is a specialized discipline – and, at the same time, a matter of attitude. In its introduction to digital accessibility, the W3C explains why accessibility is a fundamental principle of good web design, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines provide the internationally recognised standard against which our work is measured. It is precisely this combination of commitment and verifiable standards that defines IFDB GmbH’s identity.
The quickest way to find out where your digital offerings currently stand is to perform a free initial analysis. Our certified audit, carried out with real users, then provides an in-depth assessment – and ongoing monitoring ensures long-term success by reliably maintaining the level of quality achieved.
