Free Accessibility Audit

Is Your Store
ADA & WCAG 2.1 Compliant?

Themes, apps, and settings do not guarantee accessibility. Get a clear picture of where your store stands-and what needs to be fixed.

See exactly where your store stands and what needs fixing.

Accessibility Isn’t Built-In. And It’s Not Automatic. 

  • Your theme doesn’t guarantee accessibility
  • Apps don’t make your store compliant
  • There’s no “enable accessibility” setting
If no one has audited your store against accessibility standards…

There are gaps.

Why Accessibility Is Getting Attention Now

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, websites are increasingly being treated as places of public accommodation.

There's still no exact technical checklist in the law.
But in real-world audits and cases?
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines is the standard used to evaluate websites.
And that's what your store is judged against.

The Part Most Brands Miss

Accessibility issues don’t always show up as complaints.

A user who couldn’t navigate your store
Someone who couldn’t read your content
A checkout that didn’t work for them

And instead of telling you...
They just leave.

What We Typically Find in Shopify Stores

Inaccessible sites don't generate complaints-they simply lose customers. Users with disabilities just leave.

Can't navigate

Users who rely on keyboards can't access critical buttons, links, or navigation menus.

Can't read

Poor color contrast and missing text alternatives make content invisible to low-vision users.

Can't complete checkout

Form fields without labels and inaccessible error messages block purchases.

Screen readers fail

Improper heading structures and missing ARIA labels render pages unusable.

Frustrated users

26% of adults in the US have a disability, that's potential customers lost.

Silent revenue loss

They don't complain or leave feedback. They simply bounce and never return.

Why Most Brands Delay This (And Regret It Later)

Accessibility becomes "urgent overnight" in two scenarios-and both are costly:

Accessibility usually gets pushed down the priority list.
Until:
  • A redesign is needed
  • A partner flags it
  • Or it becomes urgent overnight
By then, fixes are reactive.
And more expensive.

WCAG 2.1 is a set of accessibility guidelines that help make websites usable for people with disabilities. For Shopify stores, this includes keyboard navigation, screen reader support, proper contrast, and accessible forms.
