Muhammad U.
Shopify Accessibility Specialist | WCAG 2.2, ADA & Liquid Development
Is your Shopify store failing a WCAG accessibility audit, facing an ADA complaint, or struggling with keyboard and screen-reader accessibility? I identify and fix accessibility barriers directly in your Shopify theme code, without relying on overlay widgets. I'm a Shopify developer specializing in WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility audits, ADA accessibility fixes, EAA requirements, and custom Shopify Liquid development. I work with existing Shopify themes, custom sections, third-party apps, and storefront functionality to make websites more accessible while preserving their design and functionality. SHOPIFY ACCESSIBILITY AUDIT & FIXES I help Shopify businesses identify and resolve accessibility issues involving: WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility audits ADA accessibility improvements European Accessibility Act (EAA) accessibility requirements Keyboard navigation and logical tab order Visible focus indicators and focus management Screen-reader compatibility and semantic HTML Accessible navigation, dropdowns, menus and modals Product pages, cart drawers and AJAX cart accessibility Form labels, validation and accessible error messages Color contrast, image alt text and heading structure WCAG 2.2 target size and focus-not-obscured requirements Third-party app and Shopify theme accessibility conflicts SHOPIFY LIQUID DEVELOPMENT Beyond accessibility, I work directly with Shopify's theme architecture: Shopify Liquid, HTML, CSS and JavaScript Shopify 2.0 themes, custom sections, blocks and schema Custom product pages and collection templates AJAX cart and dynamic storefront functionality Metafields, metaobjects, bundles and subscriptions Shopify Admin API, GraphQL and Storefront API Theme debugging and JavaScript conflict resolution Core Web Vitals: LCP, CLS and INP ACCESSIBILITY TESTING APPROACH I don't rely on automated scanning alone. My testing process includes: WAVE, axe and Lighthouse accessibility checks Manual keyboard-only navigation NVDA screen-reader testing WCAG success-criteria review Retesting implemented fixes and documenting remaining issues I fix accessibility problems in the actual website code rather than simply adding an accessibility overlay.

Previous Shopify accessibility projects have ranged from $250 for an audit and prioritized recommendations to approximately $650 for an audit with code fixes. Pricing depends on the number of templates, issues and third-party apps involved. Do you use accessibility overlay widgets? No. I focus on fixing the underlying HTML, Liquid, CSS and JavaScript so keyboard and screen-reader users can interact with the actual storefront. Can you guarantee ADA compliance? No developer can honestly guarantee legal compliance. I work toward agreed WCAG 2.2 AA criteria, test the implemented changes and document outstanding issues. Do you also work with WordPress? Yes. I have experience with WordPress, WooCommerce, Elementor, Divi, accessibility improvements and custom plugin development.
