Consultancies cost $5k–$15k
Manual audits from accessibility firms are priced for enterprise. By the time an SMB justifies the spend, the demand letter has arrived.
Built for Shopify & WooCommerce stores
WCAG 2.2 AA audits
before the demand letter.
4,700+ ADA lawsuits hit US ecommerce in 2024 — most for issues a developer can fix in hours. We find every one, write the patch in your theme's Liquid, and hand you a defense memo your lawyer can cite.
- 5-day turnaround
- Real Liquid/HTML patches — not a widget
- Lawyer-ready defense memo

The accessibility lawsuit landscape
4,700+
Federal ADA website lawsuits in 2024 (+37% YoY). Most target SMB Shopify stores.
$30k+
Average settlement before legal fees. Defense costs add $15k–$150k.
25%
Of lawsuits cite overlay widgets as adding barriers. The FTC fined accessiBe $1M for false advertising in 2025.
Why most stores are unprotected
There's a gap between $50 widget overlays and $15k consultancy retainers. Both fail SMB merchants.
2
Overlay widgets backfire
accessiBe was fined $1M by the FTC in 2025. 25% of recent lawsuits cite overlay widgets as creating new accessibility barriers. They are not a defense.

DIY scanners miss most issues
Automated tools catch roughly 40% of WCAG 2.2 issues. The rest — keyboard navigation, screen-reader experience, focus order — needs a human walkthrough.
What you receive in 5 business days
A 30-page PDF, the raw scanner output, and a memo your lawyer can put on file.
1. Full WCAG 2.2 AA conformance audit
Top 25 pages tested with axe-core, Pa11y, and a manual review by an accessibility-trained engineer.
2. Top 30 issues — with code patches
Every issue gets the location, severity, WCAG criterion, screenshot, and a Liquid/HTML/CSS fix your developer can paste.
3. Manual review
Keyboard-only navigation, NVDA + VoiceOver walkthrough of your full purchase flow, focus management, color contrast.
4. 90-day remediation roadmap
P0 / P1 / P2 phasing with developer-hour estimates so you can plan the fix sprint.
5. Demand-letter defense memo

No retainers, no surprise scope creep. Pick a tier and pay through Stripe.

Common questions
How is this different from accessiBe or AudioEye? +
accessiBe and AudioEye install JavaScript overlays that claim to fix accessibility at runtime. The FTC fined accessiBe $1M for false advertising in 2025, and these widgets are now cited in 25% of ADA lawsuits as creating additional barriers. We don't install widgets. We find every issue, write a real code patch, and you (or we) merge it into your theme.
What platforms do you support? +
Shopify (any theme — including Dawn, custom Liquid, Hydrogen) and WooCommerce are first-class. We also audit static / Webflow / Framer / Next.js storefronts on request — email us first to confirm scope.
Will this protect me from a lawsuit? +
No auditor can promise that — anyone who does is selling you a story. What we provide is documented WCAG 2.2 AA conformance evidence and an active remediation program, both of which US federal courts have favorably weighed in mitigation (see Robles v. Domino's, Gil v. Winn-Dixie). It substantially reduces risk and gives your lawyer something concrete to file.
What if I receive a demand letter during the audit? +
Email us immediately. We'll prioritize your audit, deliver in 48–72 hours, and include a fast-track defense memo your attorney can use in initial correspondence. We're not lawyers — but the documented evidence we produce is exactly what your attorney needs.
Refund policy? +
If we deliver an audit you genuinely believe falls below our standard, we refund 100%, no questions, within 14 days of delivery. We've never had to — but the option is on the table.
Where is the company based? +
FatCouple OÜ, registered in Estonia (EU). We invoice globally and accept Stripe payments in USD or EUR. Reverse-charge VAT applies for EU B2B clients.
