Re: the letter on your desk

You got a demand letter.
Let’s make it go away, properly.

Accessibility overlays got 800+ stores sued anyway and cost one vendor a $1M FTC fine. We scan your Shopify store, fix what can be fixed at the source, and give you the evidence pack your lawyer actually needs.

One page, a real WCAG 2.2 AA scan. We email your report to the address above. A clean automated scan is not full compliance, and we will say so plainly.

The European Accessibility Act is enforced since June 2025. Fines reach €500,000. More than 11 new accessibility lawsuits are filed every day.
The cheap fix that backfires

An overlay widget is not a defence. Courts treat it as an admission.

The “accessibility button” in the corner of a site is the most-sued fix there is. It runs after the page loads, so screen readers never see it, and it cannot touch the code underneath.

$1M

FTC penalty

The best-known overlay vendor was fined $1,000,000 in April 2025 for claiming its widget made sites compliant when it did not.

800+

Still sued

More than 800 businesses running an overlay were sued anyway. In court the widget was treated as evidence they knew and chose a shortcut.

Code fixed

Overlays cannot fix form labels, keyboard traps or heading structure. Those live in the code. So do the claims against you.

How the automation works

Scanned, fixed and documented online. Hands-off.

A fixed monthly price, no retainer. You connect your store once; the rest runs itself. What a machine cannot safely fix, we flag plainly rather than fake.

01 — Scan

We find what a claimant would find

A full WCAG 2.2 AA scan of your store. You get the exposure band and a plain-English issue list in under a minute.

02 — Auto-fix & flag

Real fixes in the code, not a widget

We write proper alt text to your product data and apply safe theme fixes at the source. Anything needing human judgement is flagged, never faked.

03 — Document & monitor

The evidence pack, kept current

A signed EAA statement and evidence pack, refreshed on every re-scan, so you stay defensible as the store changes.

What you walk away with

The point is the paperwork. That is what makes a letter go away.

  • [✓] EAA accessibility statement, written to EN 301 549, with your details, conformance level and remediation timeline.
  • [✓] A dated fix log showing every issue found and how it was resolved in the code.
  • [✓] A flagged list of items that still need human judgement, stated plainly.
  • [✓] A conformance declaration you can hand straight to a lawyer or a supervisory authority.
  • [✓] Monthly re-scan and a refreshed, timestamped statement, so you stay defensible.

Straight answers

The questions every merchant asks.

Doesn’t Shopify make my store compliant?

No. Shopify’s platform is accessible, but the finished store is your legal responsibility. Shopify themes cover only about a fifth of the WCAG criteria, and “I used Shopify” has never been a successful defence.

Isn’t a free scan enough on its own?

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. An automated scan reliably catches around a third of accessibility issues. The rest, like whether a screen reader can complete your checkout, needs human judgement. We flag those items plainly.

Will an overlay widget protect me instead?

No. Overlays were fined by the FTC, are rejected by courts, and sit on more than 800 sued businesses. They cannot change the code a claim is built on.

I only sell in the UK. Does this still apply?

Yes. The UK Equality Act already requires accessible services, and if you sell to anyone in the EU the European Accessibility Act applies regardless of where you are based.

Stop guessing whether you are a target.

Scan your store free in under a minute. See the exposure. Decide from facts, not fear.
