Ecommerce & Retail
Frictionless shopping funnels, accessible checkout flows, and ADA litigation risk mitigation.
Regulatory Obligations & Risk Drivers
Online retailers represent over 70% of digital accessibility lawsuits under ADA Title III and state laws like California's Unruh Act. Conformance protects brand reputation and opens products to 1.3 billion consumers worldwide.
Common Sector Defect Patterns
Product image carousels with non-focusable controls or auto-scrolling that cannot be paused.
Faceted search and filter drawers that trap keyboard focus or fail to announce updated results.
Product variant selectors (color, size) conveying selection state solely through color changes.
Multi-step checkout forms lacking clear error messages or programmatic field associations.
