        Building an accessible eCommerce website means more than just checking boxes—it’s about ensuring every customer can browse, select, and purchase with ease. Accessibility in eCommerce touches every part of the shopping journey, from product discovery to checkout.
Key Areas to Focus On
● Product Images and Descriptions: Include accurate alt text and detailed descriptions so screen reader users can understand what’s being sold.
● Navigation and Filtering: Use clear headings, logical tab order, and keyboard-accessible filters so all users can explore products efficiently.
● Shopping Cart and Checkout: Ensure every step—from adding items to completing payment—can be done without a mouse and includes clear form labels, error messages, and focus indicators.
● Dynamic Content: Use ARIA roles and semantic HTML for modals, pop-ups, and product galleries to ensure assistive technologies interpret changes correctly.
● Video and Multimedia: Provide captions, transcripts, and audio descriptions for all promotional or product videos.

eCommerce accessibility ensures that digital stores are usable by everyone, including
individuals with disabilities. It matters because over 15% of the population lives with some form of disability. Accessibility not only fosters inclusivity but also expands your potential customer base, boosts conversions, enhances user experiences for all, and reduces legal risks associated
with non-compliance.
Improving eCommerce accessibility starts with following WCAG standards. Key steps include adding descriptive alt text for images, ensuring strong color contrast, labeling all form fields, providing keyboard navigation for all interactive elements, and testing with screen readers. Partnering with an accessibility expert or using tools like UsableNet AQA helps identify and fix accessibility barriers across your site.
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) provides a set of international standards for
making web content accessible to people with disabilities. ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance relates specifically to ensuring that digital platforms accommodate individuals with disabilities. In eCommerce, adhering to these standards safeguards your business against legal challenges while making your website more inclusive and user-friendly.
Common issues include lack of screen reader support, non-descriptive alt text for images, poor
color contrast, inaccessible forms, missing keyboard navigation, and video content without
captions. These issues prevent people with disabilities from fully navigating and using your site.
        Whether you need fully managed services, expert guidance, or self-guided tools, UsableNet's ecommerce site accessibility solutions can help your brand succeed in making your site accessible as your business evolves.
