Accessibility is no longer optional for e-commerce - it's a growth and risk-management strategy. Get a clear roadmap from current state to full WCAG 2.2 compliance.
The June 28, 2025 deadline for most e-commerce businesses in the EU has passed. We are now in the enforcement phase - regulators can begin inspections and impose fines right now. If your product does not comply with WCAG 2.2, you are already operating outside the law.

| Check | Auto Scan | Full Audit | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Missing alt attributes on images | Tools easily detect missing attributes in HTML. | ||
| Quality and meaning of alt text | Tools cannot evaluate whether alt text accurately describes the image or conveys meaningful context. | ||
| Color contrast issues | Tools calculate contrast ratios, but experts verify readability in a real UI context. | ||
| Logical heading structure (H1–H6) | Tools detect structural issues, but experts assess whether headings logically represent the content structure. | ||
| Duplicate HTML IDs | Static code analysis can reliably detect duplicate IDs. | ||
| Page language attribute (lang) | Tools detect the presence of language attributes; experts verify whether the language value is correct. | ||
| Correct labeling of form fields | Tools check the presence of labels; experts verify whether labels are understandable and meaningful for users. | ||
| Usability of form error messages | Only experts can determine whether error messages are clear, helpful, and actionable for users. | ||
| Keyboard navigation (desktop) | Tools cannot simulate realistic keyboard navigation through interactive components. | ||
| Logical tab order | Experts verify whether focus moves in a logical and intuitive order during real usage. | ||
| Keyboard traps | Requires manual interaction to confirm users can exit elements using a keyboard. | ||
| Focus visibility | Experts verify that focus indicators remain visible and usable across different UI states. | ||
| Screen reader testing (NVDA / JAWS / VoiceOver) | Requires real assistive technologies to confirm correct announcements and usability. | ||
| Correct screen reader announcements | Experts verify whether elements are announced with meaningful and understandable context. | ||
| Dynamic content announcements (ARIA live regions) | Experts verify whether screen readers announce dynamic updates properly. | ||
| ARIA syntax errors | Tools can detect incorrect ARIA attributes in the code. | ||
| ARIA used correctly in context | Experts evaluate whether ARIA roles actually improve accessibility and usability. | ||
| Accessibility of complex components (modals, dropdowns, date pickers) | Tools cannot fully analyze interactive component behavior. | ||
| Accessibility of navigation menus | Requires testing keyboard navigation and screen reader interpretation. | ||
| Accessibility of real user flows (login, checkout, forms) | Tools scan pages individually but cannot validate full user journeys across the interface. | ||
| Mobile screen reader testing (VoiceOver / TalkBack) | Requires real devices and assistive technologies to validate usability. | ||
| Mobile zoom usability (200–400%) | Experts verify whether layout and content remain usable when zoomed. | ||
| Pinch-to-zoom behavior | Tools cannot simulate real mobile gestures and responsive layout behavior. | ||
| Touch target size and spacing | Experts verify whether touch targets are comfortable and accessible for mobile users. | ||
| Mobile gesture accessibility | Requires testing gestures and verifying accessible alternatives. | ||
| Mobile navigation usability | Experts evaluate whether navigation remains usable on mobile devices. | ||
| Orientation support (portrait / landscape) | Requires device testing to confirm the layout works in both orientations. | ||
| Real-world accessibility experience | Only expert testing can assess the real accessibility experience. | ||

Everything you need to decide if an accessibility audit is right for you.
Automated tests are the first line of defense, not a complete audit. EAA compliance requires manual verification with real assistive technologies.
Overall: 3–5 weeks from kick-off to final report. For MVPs or limited scope - faster. Exact timelines are agreed on the discovery call.
Even if you're technically exempt, accessibility = larger audience + better UX. 15–20% of potential customers have disabilities. It's not just compliance - it's a business opportunity.
EAA requires compliance with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. If your last audit was done before 2023 - it's already outdated.
Your dev team can pick up tasks immediately - no additional clarification needed.
