What is WCAG 2.2 and why does it matter?

WCAG 2.2 is the international standard for web accessibility. It defines how to make websites usable for people with disabilities. Compliance is legally required under the ADA in the US and the European Accessibility Act in the EU. Non-compliance can lead to lawsuits, fines, and lost customers.

What does the full report include?

A branded PDF with your compliance score, every violation grouped by severity, fix instructions with code examples, WCAG criteria mapping for each issue, affected HTML elements, and a list of passed checks. Hand it to your developer or attach it to compliance records.

How is this different from free browser tools?

Free tools flag issues inline but produce no exportable documentation. You cannot share the results with stakeholders, attach them to compliance records, or hand them to a developer with fix instructions. ScanAble produces a professional PDF that serves as both an audit record and a remediation plan.

Industry Compliance

Ecommerce Accessibility Compliance

Ecommerce is the most-targeted industry for ADA accessibility lawsuits. Online stores face unique challenges: product images need alt text, checkout flows must be keyboard-navigable, and payment forms need proper labels. With over 4,000 ecommerce ADA lawsuits filed in 2025 alone, compliance isn't optional.

Applicable regulations

ADA Title III

Courts have ruled that ecommerce sites are 'places of public accommodation.' Businesses must ensure equal access for users with disabilities.

European Accessibility Act (EAA)

Since June 2025, all ecommerce services sold in the EU must meet EN 301 549 accessibility standards. Non-compliance risks fines and market access loss.

WCAG 2.2 Level AA

The de facto standard referenced by both ADA and EAA. Covers color contrast, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and form accessibility.

Common ecommerce accessibility violations

Product images without alt text

Screen reader users can't understand product offerings without descriptive alt text on product images, size charts, and color swatches.

serious

Inaccessible checkout flow

Multi-step checkouts with unlabeled form fields, missing error messages, and keyboard traps prevent users from completing purchases.

critical

Filter and sort controls not keyboard-accessible

Product filtering (price sliders, checkbox filters) often only works with a mouse, blocking keyboard and screen reader users.

serious

Cart modals without focus management

Mini-cart overlays that don't trap focus or announce their appearance leave keyboard users interacting with the page behind the cart.

serious

Legal landscape

Ecommerce leads all industries in ADA lawsuits. In 2025, over 4,000 lawsuits targeted online retailers — averaging settlements of $25,000-$75,000. Major brands including Nike, Domino's, and Winn-Dixie have faced landmark cases.
