Adobe Commerce (Magento) Accessibility

Some competitors are nothing more than a cheap toolbar. And the reality is, while a toolbar can enable some users to personalise the look of your site (contrast, font, animation), it does little to nothing for a visitor relying on assistive technology such as a screen reader. There are automation-only solutions that claim 100% compliance, but did you know automation can only detect and fix about 30-35% of your WCAG errors? Then there are the high-priced consultants who will charge you to tell you your WCAG violations but not fix them. AudioEye combines powerful technology with expert testing and engineering. We either equip you to fix the remainder of your errors, or you outsource your compliance to our team of industry experts. We're always on, so you're never out of compliance. Oh, and we also give you a toolbar.

As defined by the Guidelines, to achieve WCAG compliance, digital content must be perceivable, operable, understandable and robust in order to be accessible to all users.

AudioEye tests against W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 success criteria for levels A and AA. Our goal is to help customers achieve WCAG 2.2 AA conformance, which is the international industry standard.

While there are laws that specifically mention – and require – accessible digital content, some legislation is dependent upon the Court's interpretation. For example, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) does not specifically mention digital compliance, but Title III of the ADA does require that a "place of public accommodation" is accessible. Today, Courts are interpreting a place of public accommodation to include the Internet and are therefore ruling in favour of digital accessibility.

The answer varies by industry. Many organisations are required by law to make their digital content accessible. For others, Courts are overwhelmingly ruling in favour of accessibility. So, while the rule of law can be confusing, there's no question an accessible site reduces legal risk and opens a business to a larger customer base.
