ADA Compliance for Shopify Websites

Accessibility work that holds up to a real audit, not an overlay widget. We bring Shopify stores in line with WCAG 2.2 AA and keep them there.

What it is

Accessibility is a legal requirement and a usability one. We audit your store against WCAG 2.2 AA, fix what fails, and document the work so you can show it.

We do not install an accessibility overlay. Overlays do not fix the underlying code and have been named in lawsuits. We fix the theme: semantics, contrast, keyboard access, focus order, alt text, and ARIA where it is needed.

Who it is for

  • Brands that have received a demand letter or want to avoid one
  • Teams in regulated industries or selling to the public sector
  • Merchants who want the store usable for customers with disabilities
  • Stores that installed an overlay and want a real fix

The engagement

  1. Audit

    We test with screen readers, keyboard, and automated tools against WCAG 2.2 AA.

  2. Remediate

    We fix the theme code: structure, contrast, focus, labels, and alt text.

  3. Document

    You get a report of what was tested and fixed, useful if you are ever challenged.

  4. Maintain

    We can monitor the store and keep new pages and apps from regressing.

Common questions.

Are overlay widgets enough?
No. Overlays sit on top of broken code and have been cited in accessibility lawsuits. We fix the code itself.
What standard do you target?
WCAG 2.2 AA. It includes everything in WCAG 2.1 AA, the version most ADA cases reference, plus newer requirements such as minimum target sizes and keeping focused elements visible.
Can you keep us compliant after the fix?
Yes. New content and apps can reintroduce problems, so we offer ongoing checks.
How do you test the store?
We test with screen readers, keyboard-only navigation and automated tools against WCAG 2.2 AA.
What do you actually fix?
The theme code: page structure and semantics, color contrast, keyboard access, focus order, form labels, alt text, and ARIA where it is needed.
What do we receive at the end?
A report of what was tested and what was fixed, which is useful if your store is ever challenged.
We already received a demand letter. Can you help?
Yes. We can audit and fix the store and document the work. We are not lawyers, so your legal counsel should handle the response itself.
