How it sells itself

Barrierenscanner prüft Ihren Shop nach WCAG 2.1 und 2.2 Stufe AA, am Desktop und auf dem Smartphone. Geprüft wird jede Seitenvorlage – Produkte, Kollektionen, Blog, Seiten. Zu jedem Mangel sehen Sie Schwere, betroffene Seiten und die Behebung, bei schwachem Kontrast mit passender Ersatzfarbe. Berichte als PDF und HTML auf Deutsch und Englisch. Eine Checkliste deckt ab, was kein automatischer Test entscheiden kann.

Valence Metrics checks your home page, a collection, a product page and the cart on a mobile browser using the open-source axe-core engine. Every issue comes with a plain-language fix guide for Shopify: where to click in your admin or what to change in your theme. Missing product image alt text is fixed directly on the image, so it works in every theme without an overlay widget. Pro monitors your store every week.

Key points
  • Prüft jede Seitenvorlage am Desktop und mobil und zeigt die Reichweite je Mangel
  • Barrierefreiheitserklärung nach BFSG, als Seite in Ihrem Shop veröffentlicht
  • KI-Alt-Texte für Produktbilder, übernommen erst nach Ihrer Freigabe
  • Vergleicht jeden Scan mit dem letzten: behoben, neu hinzugekommen, unverändert
  • Mobile scan of home, collection, product page and cart
  • Plain-language fix guide for every issue, written for Shopify
  • Bulk alt text saved on the image itself, with undo for every change
  • Weekly monitoring catches new issues after theme or app changes
