Accessibility work is most useful when it reflects real customer journeys. We show your team what prevents people from completing tasks, why it matters, and how to fix it.
Focused on real user journeys
We review the workflows merchants and their customers actually use, from navigation and forms to messages, dialogs, and dynamic content.
WCAG guidance with context
Findings are explained in plain language and connected to relevant WCAG success criteria, user impact, and implementation decisions.
Manual review beyond checkers
Automated checks are useful, but keyboard testing, screen-reader review, focus behavior, and content structure need human evaluation too.
