accessibility-related lawsuits filed annually in the U.S. 3

Accessibility issues are widespread across eCommerce, not limited to any one brand category. In 2024 alone, lawsuits were filed against brands in beauty, wellness, home goods, food & beverage, toys, and general Direct-to-Consumer (DTC), not just fashion.

Who this is for

Built for eCommerce teams that move fast

Designed for brands that launch products frequently, run campaigns, drops, or seasonal updates, continuously update their storefront, and operate on Shopify or custom builds.

Accessibility issues compound quickly in these environments, especially across product pages, filters, and checkout flows. If your team ships updates regularly, accessibility gaps accumulate faster than they can be caught manually.

Shopify brands: Shopify-powered stores accounted for over 1,000 ADA lawsuits in 2024, the most of any single eCommerce platform. Being on Shopify does not provide compliance protection. (EcomBack 2024 Annual Report)

Typical clients

  • Fashion & apparel brands with frequent seasonal drops
  • Wellness & supplement DTC brands
  • Beauty & skincare eCommerce
  • Home goods & lifestyle brands
  • Food & beverage DTC
  • General Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) brands on Shopify or custom builds
  • Brands that have received ADA demand letters
  • Brands launching new storefronts or major redesigns

What we find

Common accessibility failures in eCommerce

Missing or incorrect alt text
Product images without descriptive alt text are invisible to screen readers, blocking purchase decisions for users with visual impairments.
Inaccessible filters & navigation
Filter sidebars and navigation menus that cannot be operated by keyboard or screen reader effectively block product discovery.
No visible keyboard focus
Without a visible focus indicator, keyboard-only users cannot navigate your site. This affects millions of users and fails WCAG 2.2 AA.
Insufficient color contrast
Sale labels, product prices, and UI elements that fail the 4.5:1 contrast ratio requirement are unreadable for users with low vision.
Unlabeled checkout forms
Form fields without proper labels cause screen readers to announce nothing useful, making checkout inaccessible and costing you conversions.
Broken heading structure
Illogical or skipped heading hierarchy prevents screen reader users from navigating page content efficiently.
Keyboard-unreachable interactions
Quick-add buttons, modals, and carousels built for mouse-only use lock out keyboard users entirely.
Missing screen reader announcements
Dynamic content, cart updates, filter results, error messages, that doesn't announce to assistive technology leaves users without feedback.
