The Challenge: The False Sense of Security

A high growth electronics brand was paying $1190/month for a popular "Accessibility Overlay" widget. They believed this "one line of code" solution protected them from ADA lawsuits. However, our manual audit proved the opposite.

The widget was actually **blocking** screen readers from accessing the main navigation and slowing down mobile page speeds by nearly 25%. Even with the widget active, the brand received a legal demand letter because the underlying theme code remained fundamentally broken.

Technical Remediation: Source Code Integrity

We completely stripped the widget from the store and performed a Native Remediation. We modified the Shopify theme.liquid and product-template.liquid files to fix accessibility at the source, implementing proper ARIA landmarks and a logical "Tab Order" that works for everyone, no "extra menu" required.

/* Native Focus States - Zero Script Bloat */
:focus {
  outline: 3px solid #0052FF !important;
  outline-offset: 4px !important;
}

The Result: A Faster, Safer Store

Accessibility overlays are often described by experts as "lawsuit magnets" because they highlight a site as being non-compliant. By moving to a native solution, the brand achieved true resilience.
