🌍 Accessibility & Compliance
We’ve improved the accessibility of our platform to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines. This makes Cobot more inclusive and easier to use for everyone.
For coworking spaces in the EU, the European Accessibility Act requires all their business websites, including member platforms and booking portals, to comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA by June 2025. With Cobot, you’re already ahead of the curve – today!
