Accessibility in your online shop

5 jun 2026 1 min read 6 views

An accessible shop excludes no one and is more pleasant for everyone to use. At the same time accessibility is increasingly expected by law as well.

Why the effort pays off

About one in ten people depends on low barrier offers. Beyond that many improvements help all users, for example in poor light or on the go.

Where you can start

Even small measures have a big effect.

Sufficient contrast for texts
Meaningful alternative texts for images
Operability via keyboard
Clear labelling of form fields

Think about language

Simple, clear wording helps not only people with impairments but improves clarity for everyone.

Check regularly

Test your shop with keyboard and screen reader and gather feedback from real users. That way you find hurdles that are easily overlooked in everyday use.

Conclusion

Accessibility is not a one time project but an attitude. Anyone who takes it seriously gains satisfied customers and a clear conscience.
