Images with no description
WCAG 1.1.1A screen reader announces “image” or reads the file name. We write a short, accurate description.

Accessibility suits land on small stores. A widget doesn't change what the scanner reads.
Thousands of federal ADA website lawsuits are filed every year, and most name small online stores, not big retailers. The claims usually start the same way: someone runs an automated scan of the storefront and lists what fails.
Those failures live in your theme's code: images with no description, text too faint to read, icon buttons with no name, cart drawers a keyboard can't escape. An overlay widget draws on top of the page. The code underneath stays the same, and so does the scan.
We change the code, so the fix is in the page itself, and you get a dated record of what was fixed and when.
What we fix, line by line
These are the failures we find on almost every Shopify theme we scan. We fix them in the templates themselves, so new products inherit the fix.
Text that's too faint to read
WCAG 1.4.3Gray-on-white prices and captions fail at 2.8:1. We darken them just enough to pass 4.5:1 and keep your look.
color: #9A9A9A; /* 2.8:1 */color: #595959; /* 7.0:1 */Icon buttons with no name
WCAG 4.1.2The cart, menu and close icons announce as just “button.” We give each one a name.
<button><svg/></button><button aria-label="Open cart"><svg/></button>Invisible keyboard focus
WCAG 2.4.7Themes often remove the focus ring, so keyboard shoppers can't see where they are. We restore a clear one.
*:focus { outline: none; }:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #1B1B1B; }Cart drawers that trap the keyboard
WCAG 2.1.2A closed drawer still catches Tab, and an open one can't be left with Escape. We fix both.
<div id="cart-drawer" aria-hidden="true"><div id="cart-drawer" inert> + Esc to closeTap targets that are too small
WCAG 2.5.8Color swatches and slider dots at 18px are hard to hit. We enlarge the tap area without changing the design.
.swatch { width: 18px; height: 18px; }.swatch { min-width: 24px; min-height: 24px; }Also covered: form fields with no label, links with no name, ARIA attributes that confuse screen readers, and scrolling areas a keyboard can't reach.

Ask about monitoring
If the preview isn't clean, you get your money back.
Your scan report lists every automated failure we found. If the fixed preview doesn't clear every one of them, we refund the full $1,490. You don't publish anything until you've seen the re-scan.
Questions owners ask us
Something else? Email [email protected].
Do you need my store password?
No. You add us as a Shopify collaborator with theme access only. We never ask for your password, and we can't see payments, orders or customer data.
I already pay for an accessibility widget. Do I still need this?
A widget sits on top of your theme; it doesn't change the code, and scanners still find the same failures. Keep it running while we work. Once the code is fixed, you can decide whether it's still worth paying for.
Will this stop me from being sued?
No one can promise that, and you should be wary of anyone who does. We fix the failures an automated scan can find and give you a dated report of the work. Whether that meets a specific legal requirement is a question for your attorney. We're not a law firm and this isn't legal advice.
My attorney wants a certified audit or a conformance letter.
We don't issue those. We work alongside the expert who does: we fix the code, and our dated report shows the auditor exactly what changed, which usually makes their review faster.
