Risks of not complying with Royal Legislative Decree 1112/2018
Companies and public bodies in Spain must ensure that their websites and mobile applications are accessible, complying with the requirements established in Royal Legislative Decree 1112/2018. Non-compliance may result in:
- Financial penalties: Failure to meet the decree’s criteria can lead to significant fines, regulated according to the severity of the infraction and its impact on users.

The lack of accessibility in an organization’s websites and applications can be seen as a lack of commitment to inclusion and social responsibility, which could:
- Reduce user trust: People with disabilities might avoid interacting with organizations that do not meet the standards of Royal Legislative Decree 1112/2018.
- Affect customer loyalty: Failing to ensure an accessible experience can lead to the loss of users, who prefer entities committed to inclusion and compliance with accessibility regulations in Spain.
Not ensuring digital accessibility limits access to a significant market. By not complying with Royal Decree 1112/2018, organizations run the risk of:

Accessible websites not only comply with regulations but also improve SEO. Not implementing these practices can:
