Accessibility in ecommerce doesn’t happen automatically. Even with a solid platform like Magento, accessibility depends on how themes are built, how content is added, and how third-party extensions interact with the storefront.

Over time, small changes can introduce barriers like missing alt text, unclear form labels, navigation issues, or elements that don’t work well with screen readers or keyboards.

For most teams, accessibility only comes up during audits or when issues are reported. A checklist helps shift that approach. Instead of reacting to problems, you can review your storefront in a structured way and catch issues earlier.

This Magento accessibility handbook walks through common areas where accessibility gaps appear: navigation, images, forms, media, content structure, and theme behavior. Use it to review your current storefront and identify what needs attention.
