ADA Compliance Audit

ADA Compliance Audit

What it is: An ADA Compliance Audit assesses whether your ecommerce site meets accessibility standards, particularly the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). It evaluates color contrast, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and more.

Why it matters for ecommerce merchants: Accessibility isn’t just a legal checkbox, it’s an opportunity. Over 25% of U.S. adults live with a disability, and accessible websites serve a broader audience and reduce legal risk. The Bureau of Internet Accessibility reports that 96% of ecommerce homepages still have detectable WCAG failures.

Challenges:

• Keeping up with evolving legal and compliance standards
• Retroactively fixing legacy code and design components
• Ensuring accessibility across third-party tools and plug-ins
• Balancing aesthetic design with inclusive functionality
