A survey that is not accessible excludes some of your respondents and distorts your results. Ignoring accessibility is a common mistake in online surveys. In Germany it has also been mandatory for many digital services under the Accessibility Reinforcement Act (BFSG) since June 2025, whether it applies to your survey depends on how it is used.
Make it usable for everyone
- Sufficient contrast and legible font sizes (see Non-Web-Friendly Typography).
- Full keyboard operability, not just the mouse.
- Clear labels for every question and field so screen readers can read them.
- Clear, simple language (see Texts Too Long).
Usable on every device
Many respondents fill in surveys on a smartphone. Make sure questions, scales and buttons work and read well on small screens too. Test the survey on several devices before launch.
Accessibility reaches more people
An accessible survey can be completed by anyone, regardless of visual or motor impairment or device. That raises your response rate and makes the results more representative.
