Shopify Accessibility & Compliance
Accessibility isn't just a legal requirement - it's about ensuring every customer can use your store with ease. We help Shopify merchants meet accessibility standards like WCAG 2.1 and prepare for the European Accessibility Act (EAA), making your store more inclusive and future-ready.
Accessibility, Explained and Applied
We help demystify accessibility and make it actionable - showing how small, practical improvements can make a big difference for your customers and your compliance obligations.
Why Accessibility Matters
An accessible store ensures that all users, including those with disabilities, can navigate and shop without barriers. It's not only about compliance but also about providing a better user experience for everyone.
Understanding WCAG & EAA
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) provide a framework for making web content more accessible. With the EAA coming into effect in June 2025, ensuring your Shopify store meets these standards is more important than ever.
WCAG Principles in Practice
Perceivable Content
Ensure text alternatives for images and multimedia.
Operable Interface
Make all functionalities available via keyboard.
Understandable Information
Create clear and concise content that's easy to comprehend.
Robust Compatibility
Ensure content is compatible with current and future user tools.
Consistent Navigation
Maintain consistent navigation across pages.
Error Identification
Provide clear error messages and suggestions for corrections.
Any issues we have with our website are dealt with quickly and efficiently and they are always a pleasure to work with. They continue to support us through helpful recommendations and optimisations, making our website not only look great, but run smoothly as well.
