- Affected elements with screenshot evidence
- WCAG 2.2 references and a fix for each pattern

Why this matters now.
It already applies
The European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882) has applied since 28 June 2025. Covered e-commerce services must meet accessibility requirements. Microenterprises providing services are exempt. Check the scope and exemptions.
Overlays don't count
An overlay does not replace accessible templates, content and checkout flows. Our reports identify fixes in the underlying site.
Real penalties
Enforcement and penalties depend on national law. WCAG testing helps identify technical barriers; a scan alone cannot determine legal compliance.
It's also revenue
Roughly 1 in 4 EU adults lives with a disability. Barriers at checkout are customers who quietly leave.
Pricing
Flat fees. No subscription for audits.

FAQ
Straight answers.
Is this a compliance certificate?
No. It is an evidence-based audit and a prioritized fix plan. Automated checks catch roughly a third of WCAG issues; the Full audit adds manual verification. No honest tool can issue a blanket certificate from a scan.
Will an overlay widget fix this?
An overlay alone cannot establish compliance. We identify barriers and the underlying changes needed in your templates, content and components.
My shop is outside the EU. Do I need this?
The EAA can apply to covered services sold to EU consumers, including by businesses outside the EU. Scope and exemptions matter, including the exemption for microenterprises providing services. Read the official EU guidance.
What do you need from me?
Your shop URL and the key pages you want checked. Public pages need no credentials or code access. For a Full audit, we arrange safe access to any checkout or account flow that requires login.
How fast is delivery?
48 hours from payment for both audit tiers. Monitoring starts the same week.
What if the report finds nothing?
You get a clean report with the coverage note and the manual checks we performed, plus guidance to keep it clean. If a paid Quick audit finds zero automatically detectable barriers, we refund it.
