From Visual Consistency to Real Compliance
Grupa e-commerce · region CEE · 2024–2025
Context
The baseline store had been built without accessibility considered at the code level. Visually, it gave the impression of WCAG conformance, but beneath the surface the essentials were missing: proper structure for screen readers, skip links, consistent focus management, correct label–input associations, and full keyboard navigation. From a UX perspective, this meant an experience that looked correct but wasn't genuinely inclusive. From an EAA perspective — a product that needed to be put in order.
What we led
We ran an audit of one strategically selected store as a proof point for the entire group. The goal was to define the scope of work, the cost, and the sequence of implementations needed to achieve compliance with the directive. We translated every EAA requirement into specific areas of the product. We mapped the issues across UI, content, interaction, and component architecture, then distinguished items that needed a quick fix from those that required deeper rework. The backlog was prioritized by user impact and implementation cost, so that every decision moved the product meaningfully closer to full accessibility.
Outcome
The store was brought into compliance on priority paths, and we published an Accessibility Statement grounded in the actual state of the product. The scope also covered PDF documents, transactional and marketing communications, and the language used in customer interactions — because accessibility spans the entire customer experience, not just the store interface.
We formalized the whole methodology as a repeatable framework for the remaining stores in the group. As a result, every subsequent audit could start with a ready-made map of issues, a proven structure, and a clear decision-making process.
Why this matters for founders
Compliance in the key areas, shorter timelines for subsequent audits, and a repeatable process for future rollouts.
+ Detailed client work is shared selectively and in context.
