Shero Commerce CEO and Co-founder Beth Shero is joined by Senior Developer Daniel and Dr. Lionel Wolberger, CEO of UserWay, to make the case for treating accessibility as a core part of every eCommerce site, not an afterthought.
Daniel walks through Shero's hands-on approach to accessibility audits, using tools like Power Mapper and Google Lighthouse in combination to catch issues that any single tool would miss. He explains why widgets alone cannot make a site compliant and why technical fixes require developer attention. Dr. Wolberger broadens the conversation, covering the legal landscape across the US and EU, the philosophy behind UserWay, and why thinking about disability as anyone struggling to complete a task is a more useful frame. His parting advice: start the accessibility journey now, and try navigating your own site using only a keyboard.
