Shopify accessibility service
ADA accessibility audits & WCAG 2.1 AA-aligned fixes for Shopify stores.
Flat-rate review of your storefront against WCAG 2.1 AA, with common issues fixed directly in the theme where the platform and theme allow.
The working principle
Fix the storefront itself.
Good accessibility work is visible in the structure, content, keyboard behavior, and components people use—not just in a control layered on top of the site.
The problem
A widget does not repair the theme underneath it.
Accessibility barriers can prevent customers from browsing, completing forms, or finishing a purchase. Automated scans and overlay tools can help identify some issues, but they do not replace fixing the underlying theme, content, and interaction patterns.
I work in the Shopify theme so the improvements are part of the storefront people actually use. The report separates what was fixed, what needs content or app changes, and what Shopify’s platform boundaries affect.
What I check and fix
A practical review of the paths customers use.
02
Color contrast
Text, large text, controls, and focus indicators checked against the relevant contrast thresholds.
03
Keyboard navigation
Storefront paths tested without a mouse, including the paths leading into checkout where they can be tested.
04
Visible focus states
Keyboard users can see where they are as they move through the interface.
05
Form labels
Fields, instructions, required states, and errors are labeled and announced clearly.
06
Heading structure
Logical headings and landmarks make the page easier to scan with assistive technology.
07
Link text
Links describe their destination instead of relying on vague labels such as “click here.”
08
Skip link
A direct path to the main content is available for keyboard and screen-reader users.
09
Media review
Captions, transcripts, controls, and motion preferences are checked where they apply.
10
Overlay and widget review
Third-party accessibility tools are reviewed for conflicts and misleading assumptions.
How it works
A clear audit, fixes, and re-check.
- 01
Audit
I scan and manually test your store. You receive a written report showing what is wrong, where it is, and how serious it is.
- 02
Fixes
I fix the common included issues directly in your theme code. Anything that needs an app, content change, or separate scope is called out.
- 03
Re-check
I run the checks again and document what changed. Anything outside the flat-rate scope gets a separate quote first—no surprises.
Price
One flat rate. Clear scope.
Price available by quote
The flat rate includes the agreed audit, theme-level fixes for the included issues, and a re-check report. I confirm the scope and price after reviewing your store URL and key customer paths.
What you receive
- • A written findings report with locations and priorities
- • Theme-level fixes for the agreed common issues
- • A re-check report documenting what changed
The honest part
Useful remediation, with clear limits.
I’m a Shopify developer, not a law firm or legal advisor. This service provides a practical accessibility review and theme-level remediation aligned with selected WCAG 2.1 AA criteria.
It is not a legal opinion, legal certification, guarantee of ADA compliance, or promise that a store is lawsuit-proof. Shopify, apps, third-party services, content, and checkout limitations may require additional review or work.
FAQ
Straight answers before we start.
Does this make my store legally ADA compliant?
No. I provide a practical accessibility review and theme-level remediation aligned with selected WCAG 2.1 AA criteria. This is not legal advice, legal certification, or a guarantee against an ADA claim.
Do you replace UserWay or accessiBe?
I focus on the storefront code, content, and interactions themselves. I can review an overlay or widget and document conflicts, but a widget is not a substitute for fixing the underlying theme.
Do you fix Shopify checkout?
I can review the storefront and any checkout surfaces available to test, but Shopify-hosted checkout code, apps, and extensions may be outside my direct control. I document those boundaries in the report.
What do I receive?
You receive a written findings report, theme-level fixes for the included issues, and a re-check report that records what changed and what remains outside the flat-rate scope.
