Sample engagement
See exactly what you receive, before you pay for it
This is a complete engagement you can click through: the audit report, the manual WCAG checklist, the remediation tracker your team works from, and the monitoring alerts that catch new issues after launch. Every panel is the real product, loaded with data from a demo storefront.
Tosche Station Outfitters is a fictional Shopify Plus storefront, so we can show a full engagement without publishing a real client's findings. The tooling, scoring, and report layout are exactly what you receive.

Executive summary
Tosche Station Outfitters was audited against WCAG 2.2 Level AA over March 2 to March 6. Across 96 scanned pages covering 8 templates, the automated pass returned 23 failing elements across 7 distinct rules, and the manual pass failed 7 of 32 success criteria tested by hand.
The findings concentrate in four repeated patterns: missing image alternatives, form fields labelled only by placeholder text, muted text below the 4.5:1 contrast minimum, and icon-only buttons with no accessible name. Because these live in shared theme files rather than individual pages, fixing each pattern once clears most of its instances at the same time.
Estimated effort: 16 to 24 developer hours to reach Level AA on the audited templates, which fits inside a single sprint. Two findings are keyboard and focus behaviors an automated scanner cannot detect, so they would have shipped unnoticed on a scan-only service.

How to explore this stage
- Start with the impact tabs at the top. Overview shows everything; the other tabs filter findings down to critical or serious issues.
- Read the health score gauge next. It summarizes your storefront's accessibility posture at a glance.
- Coverage by template groups findings the Shopify way: homepage, product, collection, and the other theme templates. Expand a template to see which URLs share the same Liquid layout, so one fix can clear many pages.
- What's next ranks the highest-impact fixes across every severity. Work top to bottom: each row shows why it matters, where to fix it in the theme, and an expandable before and after example.
- Use the share and export controls to download a PDF or spreadsheet sample of the full report.

Accessibility health
Accessibility health is fair. Address amber and red segments to move into the good range.
Click or tap a segment on the ring, or pick a category below, to pin its details. The faint arc is room left to reach a perfect score of 100; the solid color shows your current category score.
No known third-party embeds (apps, widgets, iframes we recognize) were found in this scan's page results. The toggle unlocks when embeds like Yotpo or YouTube show up in axe findings.
No accessibility statement found
Publish a page (for example, /pages/accessibility) so customers know how to request support or report barriers.
- 5 critical issues (Critical impact on assistive technology users).
- 7 serious issues that block or frustrate common tasks.
- 23 automated findings across 6 scanned pages. Site score is the average of per-page scores.
- No dedicated accessibility statement page was found.
This score reflects automated findings only. It is not legal advice, a compliance certification, or a substitute for manual WCAG testing. Automated tools catch roughly 30 to 50 percent of WCAG 2.x AA issues. The rest requires human judgment.
