Accessibility: what's supported and what's my responsibility?
Themes can be built accessibly, but your content and apps also matter.
Accessibility is the combination of:
- theme code
- merchant content (images, copy, structure)
- apps and injected UI
What you can do as a merchant
- Use descriptive link text (avoid "click here")
- Add meaningful alt text to images
- Keep heading structure logical
- Avoid low-contrast colour combinations
What can break accessibility
- Popup apps that trap focus
- Custom code that removes labels or keyboard navigation
- Poor contrast choices
Best practice
Periodically test:
- keyboard-only navigation
- screen-reader basics
- colour contrast
