Ecommerce is a fiercely competitive market, and it is essential to separate yourself from your competitors. Ensuring your online store is accessible to all customers, regardless of any disabilities or impairments, is absolutely necessary. Fortunately, Accessibly has created a seamless solution for accessibility enabler that is readily available for all Shopify store owners.
Adding the Accessibly widget to your Shopify store is a great way to improve accessibility issues and customer satisfaction.
Accessibly was created with the aim of making your website more accessible to a wider range of users through AI-powered accessibility tools. We have launched the Shopify ADA compliance app to ensure ADA WCAG compliance, no matter your Shopify themes.
Improve Your Shopify Web Accessibility With Accessibly
Accessibly was intelligently designed with the goal of drastically improving online stores on the Shopify platform. By installing Accessibly onto your Shopify store and using the app, you can improve user experience in a myriad of ways. One of the most common disabilities is visual impairment, particularly among older individuals. Accessibly was created with this in mind, and has made strides to create an accessible environment for visually impaired users.
Accessibly includes features such as grayscale, adjustable brightness and contrast, inverted colors, and even a text-to-speech reading of the website. Accessibly is dedicated to including as many helpful features as possible to create an accessible online environment.
We also include features such as highlighted links, readable fonts, and alternative text for photos, making navigation simple. Accessibly was also designed to work seamlessly across devices for both desktop and mobile users.
Accessibly was created with the goal of increasing WCAG and ADA compliance.
We believe adhering to these ADA and WCAG compliance guidelines as closely as possible is the best practice for providing potential customers with a sufficiently accessible environment.
WCAG guidelines are international standards designed to make online content more accessible for users with impairments or disabilities. Following these standards creates a higher quality online environment for those with disabilities, and users in general.
By providing useful assistive technologies onto your Shopify store, you will improve customer satisfaction and brand perception. Accessibly follows the best guidelines and is partially conformant with WCAG 2.0 level AA. It is important to note that WCAG guidelines are continuing to evolve to better address web accessibility. That is why Accessibly is committed to also evolving, so we can continue to abide by the rigorous standards of the WCAG.
