ACCESSIBILITY

Accessible Sites
Convert Better.

Accessibility is not a compliance box to tick. Accessible websites are faster, cleaner, and convert better for every user. We audit, fix, and build ecommerce sites that meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards without compromising design or performance.

Our Process

01

Audit

We run both automated (axe, Lighthouse) and manual accessibility testing across your key user journeys, producing a prioritised report with WCAG success criteria mapped to each issue.

02

Prioritise

We group issues by severity and user impact. Critical blockers that prevent purchase completion are fixed first. Lower-impact issues are batched into subsequent sprints.

03

Remediate

We implement fixes directly in your codebase, testing each change with assistive technology before merging. All changes are documented for your development team.

04

Certify and Monitor

We produce a VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) on request and set up ongoing monitoring so new content and features do not introduce regressions.

Common Questions

In the UK and EU, public sector sites and some commercial sites have legal accessibility obligations. The Equality Act 2010 and European Accessibility Act create real legal risk for non-compliant ecommerce sites. We can advise on your specific obligations.

Yes. Shopify's default themes have accessibility limitations but significant improvement is possible through custom development. We have made numerous Shopify stores WCAG 2.2 AA compliant.

A full WCAG 2.2 AA audit for a standard ecommerce site takes 5 to 8 days. Remediation timelines depend on the volume of issues found.

Yes. We produce a full audit report, remediation log, and VPAT-style statement that meets enterprise procurement requirements and PSBAR obligations.
