Hi there, hope you're having a great Friday!
This is Colm and Simon from CommerceGurus, with a handpicked weekly roundup of eCommerce articles.
Creating an accessible eCommerce store isn’t just about compliance—it’s about inclusivity and a better user experience for all.
Millions of people rely on accessible design to navigate and shop online, and businesses that prioritize accessibility can benefit from increased customer reach, improved SEO, and legal protection.
No matter where your site is based or where your customers are located, it’s never been more important to ensure that your store is accessible.
With regulations coming into effect and being enforced worldwide, including the ADA in the US and the EAA in Europe, failing to embrace accessibility is becoming increasingly risky.
To help you get up to speed, this brand new guide on our CommerceGurus blog covers everything you need to know, from essential best practices to tools and techniques that ensure your store is usable for everyone.
