Accessibility Sprints for Shopify stores
Your store looks fine. Here’s what it sounds like.
Most Shopify themes ship with barriers that stop blind and keyboard-only shoppers from buying, and online stores are the main target of ADA website claims. We find those barriers and fix them in your theme code in 10 business days, for a fixed price.
No call needed. No widget. Your live theme is never edited.

Why stores fix this now instead of after a letter arrives
Ecommerce is the main target
Online stores received nearly 70% of the ADA website lawsuits filed in 2025, according to UsableNet’s tracking (opens in a new tab).
Widgets don’t change the code
Overlay plugins sit on top of the page. Screen readers still read the theme underneath, and stores using overlays still receive claims.
The fixes are small and specific
Unnamed buttons, unlabeled fields, low-contrast text and cart drawers that trap the keyboard. Each is a few lines in your theme.
How a Sprint runs
Ten business days from the day you give us collaborator access. Everything happens by email.
Before you pay
Free 3-issue report
We test your store by hand and email you three real barriers on your buying path, with screenshots and the WCAG criterion each one fails.
Days 1–2
Full audit
Eight key templates: home, collection, product, cart, search, account, contact and one content page. Automated scans plus manual keyboard and screen reader testing.
Days 3–6
Fixes on a copy of your theme
We duplicate your theme and fix the critical and high-priority issues in the code: names, labels, focus, contrast, headings, menus, dialogs, forms. Your live store is never touched.
Day 7
You approve the preview
One email with a preview link and the list of changes. Reply to approve.
Days 8–10
Publish, re-test, report
We publish, re-test every template and send the before-and-after report plus a draft accessibility statement for your site.
Day 30
Follow-up re-test
We scan again after a month of new products and content, and tell you if anything slipped.
Fixed prices, published
You know the cost before we start. No hourly billing, no surprise scope.

The guarantee
If our final scan of the templates in scope still shows critical issues we were supposed to fix, we keep working at no cost until they’re fixed, or we refund you in full.
What we will never claim
- That your store is “100% compliant” or “lawsuit-proof.” Nobody can honestly promise that.
- That a widget or plugin solves accessibility on its own.
- That automated scans catch everything. They don’t, which is why every audit includes manual keyboard and screen reader testing.
Questions store owners ask
Is this legal advice?
No. Lumwren is a technical service: we find and fix accessibility barriers in your theme and document the work. For legal questions, including a demand letter you already received, talk to your attorney. Our report is something you can hand them.
Will this guarantee we never get sued?
No one can honestly promise that, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What a Sprint does is remove the barriers that block disabled shoppers and that claims usually cite, and leave you with a dated record of the work.
We already have an accessibility widget. Isn't that enough?
Overlay widgets sit on top of your site and don't change the theme code that screen readers and keyboards actually use. Stores with widgets installed still receive claims. We fix the code itself; you can keep or remove the widget.
Will you touch our live store?
No. We work on a duplicate of your theme. You review a preview and nothing goes live until you approve it by email.
What access do you need?
A Shopify collaborator account with permission to edit themes. No passwords, no payment or customer data. You can remove our access the moment the Sprint ends.
What about third-party apps like reviews or chat?
Their code lives outside your theme. In a Sprint we list every app barrier we find with a recommendation; in Sprint Plus we also fix what the app's settings allow.
Do we need a call?
No. Everything runs by email: report, invoice, preview, approval. If you'd rather talk, ask and we'll set up 15 minutes.
How do we pay?
We send an invoice you can pay by card or PayPal. Quick Audit is paid upfront. Sprint and Sprint Plus are split 50% to start and 50% on delivery.
What happens after the Sprint?
New products, banners and apps can bring barriers back. Optional monitoring is USD 149 per month: a monthly scan and a short report of anything new.
