Web Accessibility Basics for WooCommerce

Accessibility in ecommerce is increasingly a legal requirement, but it also helps you expand your audience.

Masterclass overview

Since 25% of all adults have a disability, making your site accessible is one way of expanding your audience. It’s the right thing to do as a human being, but it’s also increasingly a legal requirement in many places.

In the US, 84% of all web accessibility lawsuits involve ecommerce websites, so it’s especially important for Woo sites to address this topic.

This workshop will briefly describe accessibility, point out US & EU legal requirements, outline common places where accessibility issues are found on ecommerce sites, give tips for starting to check your site, and share important resources for making sites more accessible.
