Allyable alternatives: a 30-day path to documented conformance

If automated tooling alone has not made your store conformant, the alternative is a structured sprint: a full WCAG 2.2 audit, a guided 30-day fix program for your developer, and verification rescans proving each repair. Tooling finds issues; it cannot repair theme code. Documented remediation, finished and verified, is what actually changes your legal and practical position.

Automation's ceiling

Automated tools reliably detect roughly the mechanical half of WCAG failures, the ones with clear markup rules. Nothing automated repairs a theme, and no tool judges whether alt text is meaningful or an interaction makes sense. Stores that rely on tooling alone plateau at partially conformant, which is also what their evidence shows.

The 30-day audit and sprint

Week one: full audit, every issue mapped to its theme file and component, severity-ranked. Weeks two through four: your developer works the list in batches, because Shopify issues repeat through shared components and one template fix clears failures store-wide. Every fix gets a verification rescan, so the record shows repair, not attempt.

How ADAReadyHQ proves it

The sprint produces a dated evidence file: initial audit, every fix with timestamps, verification rescans, and a final conformance status per criterion. Monitoring then keeps the store there as themes and apps change. It starts with a free accessibility audit so the issue count is concrete before anything else.
