Website accessibility compliance: your store passes every accessibility audit automatically
Redefine builds website accessibility compliance into every storefront and admin user interface: WCAG 2.1 AA keyboard navigation, screen reader support, contrast ratios, and continuous audit reporting. You are never caught off-guard by an accessibility claim or regulatory review.
Your team's time investment for a full accessibility audit is 2 to 3 hours total: one kickoff call, one review of the findings report, and a sign-off on remediation priorities. Our accessibility compliance software handles scanning, analysis, reporting, and remediation.

Americans with Disabilities Act lawsuits hit e-commerce brands every 5 minutes
- Accessibility relies on manual audits: scheduled quarterly at best, often skipped entirely
- New product launches and content management system updates break keyboard paths and contrast ratios with no alert
- Legal exposure builds silently: 4,605 Americans with Disabilities Act web lawsuits filed in a single year in the United States alone
- Screen readers fail at checkout: 26% of buyers with disabilities abandon carts on inaccessible storefronts
- No audit trail means you cannot demonstrate good-faith compliance effort if challenged
in a single calendar year: commerce sites are the top target

Accessibility compliance software with every standard covered: one platform
Web Accessibility Software for WCAG 2.1 AA Storefronts
Every storefront component: product grids, checkout flows, cart overlays, search: is built to WCAG 2.1 AA from day one. Color contrast, focus indicators, heading hierarchy, and form label associations are enforced by the web accessibility software at the component level, not added as an afterthought.
Full Keyboard Navigation
Tab order, skip links, focus trapping in modals, and arrow-key navigation in menus: all tested across every interactive pattern before deployment.
Screen Reader Support
Accessible Rich Internet Applications roles, live regions for cart updates, and descriptive labels tested with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver across browsers and devices.
Compliance Audit Reporting
The accessibility compliance software runs automated scans that generate dated reports after every deploy. Download PDF evidence bundles for legal and procurement reviewers on demand.
Accessible Admin User Interface
Your operations and merchandising team use an admin that meets WCAG 2.1 AA as well: not just the customer-facing storefront. No two-tier accessibility.
Continuous Monitoring
Accessibility scans run after every deployment. Regressions are flagged before they reach production and reported with severity levels and fix guidance.
Issue Severity Ranking
Violations are ranked by severity and estimated revenue impact: critical blockers at checkout appear at the top so your team knows exactly what to fix first.
Americans with Disabilities Act and European Accessibility Act Ready
Coverage maps to Americans with Disabilities Act Title III (US), EN 301 549 (EU), and the European Accessibility Act: so you meet obligations regardless of where your customers shop.
From audit request to certified compliance in 10 days
Redefine delivers website accessibility compliance as a dated WCAG 2.1 AA report with prioritized remediation within 10 days. Your team reviews findings once: we handle everything else.
Accessibility drove $120M revenue for a corporate apparel brand
Corporate branding and apparel e-commerce, serving businesses with branded merchandise solutions across the United States.
Corporate Gear needed to improve website usability and accessibility to compete in a crowded market. Existing site experiences limited lead generation, and the buying process created friction for users with disabilities: reducing conversion and creating compliance exposure.
Annual revenue achieved after accessibility-led user experience improvements reduced buying friction across all audience segments: including buyers using assistive technology.
Comprehensive user experience optimization with accessibility improvements, A/B testing, and WCAG-compliant navigation improvements. Website navigation and accessibility were improved to support a broader audience and reduce friction in the buying process.

Most ada compliance software treats accessibility as a checkbox: Redefine builds it in
Other implementation partners bolt accessibility on after the build: scanning once, documenting findings, and calling it done. Redefine treats website accessibility compliance as engineering, building WCAG 2.1 AA into every component from day one and maintaining it automatically after every deploy.

Built for commerce teams with real compliance obligations
Enterprise and Government-Supplied Commerce
Federal procurement and government contracts increasingly require Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. Redefine, the ada compliance software for regulated commerce, ensures your bid process is never blocked by an accessibility gap.
High-Traffic Consumer Retailers
Brands with more than 50,000 monthly visitors face higher litigation risk. Digital accessibility software with continuous post-deploy monitoring catches regressions before legal exposure builds.
Business-to-Business Commerce and Self-Service Portals
Business-to-business buyers with disabilities represent significant revenue. Digital accessibility software gives portals keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and clear focus paths that reduce drop-off in approval-based purchasing workflows.
Healthcare and Wellness Commerce
Healthcare products are disproportionately purchased by users with disabilities. Web accessibility software is not optional when your buyers depend on assistive technology to complete transactions.
Education and Training Commerce
Online course and training storefronts face scrutiny under Americans with Disabilities Act Title III and Section 504. Web accessibility software that adds keyboard and screen reader support across purchase and enrolment flows keeps your platform inclusive and legally defensible.
International Commerce (European Accessibility Act Ready)
The European Accessibility Act requires digital commerce platforms serving EU customers to meet EN 301 549 by June 2025. As ada compliance software, Redefine maps coverage across both the Americans with Disabilities Act and European Accessibility Act in a single implementation.
Digital accessibility software built into your existing platform
Redefine's digital accessibility software integrates with your current governance module: audit logs feed into your central compliance dashboard alongside identity, permissions, and privacy controls.
Accessibility audit results surface inside your central governance and compliance dashboard alongside permissions, audit logs, and privacy controls.
Accessibility reports are role-scoped: legal, compliance, and engineering teams each see only the data relevant to their function, protected by role-based access control.
Every accessibility scan result, remediation action, and sign-off is appended to the central audit log: immutable, timestamped, and exportable for legal review.
Dated PDF reports generated on demand: formatted for legal counsel, procurement reviewers, and accessibility disclosure pages without manual assembly.
Redefine accessibility is a strong fit: and is not
- You sell to US or EU customers and need demonstrable Americans with Disabilities Act or European Accessibility Act compliance before a regulatory review or legal challenge
- Your store deploys frequently and you need accessibility regressions caught after every release, not in a quarterly scan
- You have received an Americans with Disabilities Act demand letter and need a documented good-faith remediation effort with audit evidence
- You serve buyers who rely on assistive technology and want to grow that segment, not lose it to an inaccessible checkout
- You are building a new headless or platform-migrated storefront and want WCAG 2.1 AA correct from launch, not retrofitted later
- You are a very early-stage brand with no existing traffic or legal exposure: a basic accessibility plugin scan may be proportionate for now
- You need a one-time scan only: Redefine is built for ongoing compliance, not a single report with no follow-through
- You want a browser-overlay widget as your only accessibility solution: overlays do not achieve WCAG 2.1 AA and increase legal risk, which is not what Redefine's ada compliance software delivers

Accessibility compliance: answered
WCAG 2.1 AA is a set of 50 success criteria across four principles: perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. For e-commerce, the most impactful criteria are contrast ratios above 4.5:1 on text, complete keyboard operability without a mouse, Accessible Rich Internet Applications labels on all interactive elements, visible focus indicators on every focusable element, and error identification in forms. Redefine builds all 50 success criteria into your storefront components and verifies them across multiple browsers and assistive technologies before any deploy.
No. Overlay widgets cannot achieve WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. Multiple class action lawsuits have been filed against companies using overlays as their sole accessibility strategy, because the underlying HTML remains non-compliant. Courts have found that overlays do not constitute a good-faith remediation effort. True compliance requires correct HTML structure, keyboard operability, and Accessible Rich Internet Applications implementation in the source code: which is what Redefine delivers.
For a standard commerce store covering homepage, product detail pages, cart, and checkout, Redefine delivers a complete audit report within 3 business days of kickoff. Remediation of the findings takes a further 5 to 7 days, depending on severity and volume. You receive a dated compliance certificate within 10 calendar days of starting. For larger storefronts with 50 or more unique templates, allow 15 to 20 days for audit plus remediation.
Rarely. Most WCAG 2.1 AA fixes are invisible to sighted users: Accessible Rich Internet Applications labels, focus management, heading order, and alt text do not change the visual appearance at all. Contrast ratio fixes are the most visible change: if a button is currently light grey text on white, the foreground or background will need to meet 4.5:1. Redefine works within your existing brand palette to find compliant combinations that preserve the visual intent. We share a mock of all visual changes before implementation.
Yes. Every new deploy, theme update, or content change can introduce accessibility regressions. A single annual audit provides a snapshot but not ongoing protection. Redefine's continuous monitoring module runs automated scans after every deployment and flags regressions before they reach users. This ongoing monitoring is what produces the dated audit trail that demonstrates a sustained good-faith compliance effort to any legal or regulatory reviewer.
