Accessibility Audit

Why Should It Matter?

If you are a legitimate e-commerce website, compliance with the ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act) is a must to avoid unwanted lawsuits. Our audits identify barriers to accessibility and provide actionable recommendations to achieve full Section 508 and WCAG compliance.

🌐 What Is Web Accessibility?

Web accessibility ensures that all users—regardless of disabilities, devices, or internet quality—can navigate and use a website easily. It’s guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.

🧩 How to Implement Accessibility

Design Decisions:

• Use eye-friendly color palettes
• Choose dyslexia-friendly fonts
• Add descriptive alt text to images
• Structure content with properly sequenced headers
• Use clear, descriptive language (helps screen readers)
• Ensure keyboard-friendly navigation
• Make links and buttons visually distinct

Accessibility Tools:

• Text-to-speech functionality
• Adjustable font sizes and contrast
• Closed captions for videos
• Accessibility widgets (e.g., UserWay)
• Tooltips and dictionaries

💡 Why It Matters

• Legal Compliance: ADA compliance is essential for e-commerce sites to avoid lawsuits
• Business Impact: Inaccessible websites contribute to an estimated $16 billion in lost revenue globally
• Inclusivity: A significant portion of the population (1 in 5 in the UK, 1 in 4 in the US) lives with a disability
• User Expectations: Features like captions and alt text are now expected by users

Accessibility isn’t a one-time fix—it’s an ongoing commitment to inclusive design.
