Enter your store address. We scan your homepage and one product page in a real browser and email you the top findings: what fails, who it locks out, and the fix in plain language. One email with your results; no account, no follow-up sequence.
Three scans per person per day. We scan publicly reachable pages only and our scanner identifies itself honestly. How it behaves.
Why this matters
About one in four US adults has a disability. Many of them shop with a screen reader, which reads pages aloud, or with a keyboard instead of a mouse, or with heavy zoom. Typical store themes fail them at the basics: product photos with no descriptions, icon buttons that announce themselves as just "button", variant pickers with no labels, carousels that never stop moving.
Each of those failures is a shopper who can't buy from you. They are also what ADA website lawsuits are built on. Thousands are filed every year, and online stores are the most common target. In the EU, the European Accessibility Act has required accessible online stores since June 2025. Courts, settlements and regulators all measure against the same checklist, WCAG 2.1 AA. So do we.
How it works
- You buy directly, or start with the free scan. Checkout asks for your store address; the scan starts automatically on payment. No intake call, no quote round.
- We scan your store's templates (home, collection, product, cart, search, checkout) in a real browser, desktop and mobile, using axe-core, the open-source engine most of the industry relies on. The Verified Audit adds scripted keyboard checks, run in a real browser, and a human verdict on every item automation can't decide.
- You get a report your developer can work through top to bottom. Every issue has a severity, a screenshot, an explanation of who it affects, and the change to make in your theme. The raw technical detail sits in an appendix.
Don't take our word for the report. Read a full sample, generated by the same pipeline that will scan your store.

Buying is self-serve
Every button above goes straight to a Stripe checkout. You enter your store address there, and the scan starts automatically the moment payment lands. The Automated Audit arrives within 48 hours, usually much sooner; the Verified Audit in 1 to 2 business days, because a person settles part of it. Prefer a human first? Email hello@wideaisle.com and you get the same fixed prices, no calls, no quote rounds.
The honest part (read this)
- Automated tools catch roughly 57% of issues. That figure comes from the scan vendor's own study, and it is exactly why the Verified Audit adds scripted checks and human verdicts, and why every report lists what remains outside its scope. Anyone promising automated "compliance" is selling something that does not exist. A US regulator sanctioned a vendor for that claim in 2025.
- No tier makes you compliant or lawsuit-proof. We show you what fails, how much it matters, and how to fix it. Fixing real issues reduces real risk. That is the whole pitch, and it is the honest ceiling of what anyone can promise you.
- We don't sell overlay widgets. We don't inject anything into your store, and we don't issue scores, badges or certificates.
- This is not legal advice. If you're facing a demand letter or a lawsuit, involve a lawyer. Our report gives your lawyer and your developer the technical ground truth to work from. Already holding a letter? Start here.
Who you're dealing with
WideAisle is an independent, one-person audit practice. Software does the repetitive work; a human makes the judgment calls and answers your email. Small on purpose: the person who scans your store writes your report and handles every question after it. And yes, we run our own scanner against this website. It would be embarrassing not to.
Common questions
What happens after I pay?
Automated Audit: the scan runs and the PDF is emailed to you within 48 hours, usually much sooner. Verified Audit: the automated half and the scripted checks run the same day, a person settles the undecided items, and the finished report arrives in 1 to 2 business days. Monitoring: your first scan becomes the baseline, the full audit report arrives in your first month, and you get an updated report every month after.
Will you fix the issues too?
The report is written so any Shopify developer can handle most items directly. If you don't have a developer, reply to your report email and we can refer you to a vetted freelancer.
My store uses a paid theme, or an agency built it. Still relevant?
Yes. Most findings live in theme settings and section markup that vary store by store, and paid themes ship with the same icon-button and contrast problems as free ones.
What about checkout?
On standard Shopify plans the checkout is hosted by Shopify, so most of it is outside your control. We scan the first checkout step where the store lets us reach it (some themes require choosing a size before anything can go in the cart), and the report says plainly whether checkout was scanned and which items are yours to fix versus Shopify's.
Do you cover WooCommerce?
Not yet. Shopify first. Email us anyway and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
