Independent — audit-only — WCAG 2.2 Level AA
Every finding, anchored to evidence.Nothing sold on the back of it.
Veri11y is an independent accessibility-assessment startup serving US Shopify apparel storefronts. We test against WCAG 2.2 Level AA by hand and by machine, write down exactly what failed and where, and hand you the report. We never sell the fix — which is why nothing in the report has a reason to be inflated.
A Snapshot is free, automated, and takes one email. It is not an audit — it is the short version of what a scan can see on its own.

How the work is structured
1
evidence anchor per finding
Selector, computed value, and a screenshot of the element. A finding that cannot point at checkable evidence does not ship.
2.2 AA
the standard we test against
W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2, Level AA — every result is a pass or a failure against a numbered success criterion.
2
review passes, not one
An automated scan, then a manual pass with keyboard only and with a screen reader. Automated tools alone cannot judge most criteria.
0
remediation work sold
We never fix what we find, and we take no referral fee from anyone who does. The report is the entire product.
What an audit includes
A fixed, finite document. Here is what is in it.
Evidence-anchored findings, filed against criteria
Each failure names the page, the element selector, the computed value we measured, and a screenshot of the element in place — filed under the WCAG 2.2 success criterion it fails, with its severity and instance count.

A finding that says "low contrast on buttons" is not actionable. A finding that says "
button.btn--primaryon/collections/newrenders#8FA8A0on#FFFFFF, a measured ratio of 2.54 : 1, against a 4.5 : 1 requirement for 16px text under 1.4.3" is. Every entry is the second kind, re-checkable by your developer in about thirty seconds, and grouped by root cause — "14 failures across 4 templates, 9 of them a single repeated component" is what you plan a sprint against, so the report leads with the components rather than the instance count.Manual keyboard review
A human moves through your storefront using only Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space, and the arrow keys, and records where that breaks down.
Read more
Focus order, focus visibility, keyboard traps, skip mechanisms, the cart drawer, the mobile menu, and the filter controls. This is where storefront themes usually fail, and it is not something a scanner can decide for you.
Screen-reader review
Key flows are walked with a screen reader so the audit reports what a customer actually hears, not what the markup implies.
Read more
Product page, collection page, search results, and cart. We record the announced name, role, and state of each control that matters to buying something, and note where the announced text and the visible text disagree.
A remediation brief you can hand to anyone
For each finding, what the correct end state looks like — written for whoever does the work, whether that is your agency, your theme vendor, or your own developer.
Read more
We describe the required outcome and the criterion it satisfies. We do not ship you a patch, because we do not implement, and because a fix written by the party who also grades the fix is not an independent result. The brief is deliberately vendor-neutral.
Snapshot, audit, re-audit
Three steps, and you can stop after any of them.
Snapshot — free
Our crawler loads up to 5 public pages on your storefront, waits at least one second between requests, honors robots.txt, and never touches your checkout. You get a short document listing what an automated scan alone could see. It is free, there is no obligation, and it is not an audit — automated testing detects only a portion of accessibility barriers, and the Snapshot says so on its own first page.
How the crawler works and how to stop itAudit
Everything listed above, run across your key templates and written up as one dated document against WCAG 2.2 Level AA. One fixed price, agreed before we start. You own the report and can hand it to anyone.
Re-audit
After your team ships fixes, a verification re-audit re-tests the same scope and reports what cleared and what did not. If you want the storefront checked on a standing basis as your theme and apps change, an annual re-audit is also available.
Published prices, no quote process
Every number below is the number. There is no discovery call that changes it.
Snapshot
Free
one-off
Automated scan of up to 5 public pages. Delivered by email. Not an audit.
Audit
$1,800
one-time
Automated coverage, manual keyboard pass, screen-reader pass, full evidence-anchored report against WCAG 2.2 Level AA.
Verification re-audit
$700
typically ~6 months later
Re-tests the same scope and reports which findings cleared.
Annual re-audit
$1,400
per year
A full re-audit once a year, for storefronts that keep changing.
Prices are in US dollars and cover a single storefront. Scope is fixed in writing before any work starts; if a storefront is materially larger than a standard Shopify apparel build, we say so and quote before beginning, never after.
Who this is for
A good fit
- US-based Shopify apparel storefronts.
- Teams who already have a developer, an agency, or a theme vendor who can do the work.
- Anyone who needs an assessment from a party that has no stake in what the assessment says.
- Merchants who want a number they can plan a sprint around, not an open-ended engagement.
Not a fit
- Anyone looking for someone to also do the fixing — we do not, on purpose.
- Anyone looking for a widget or a script to install. There isn't one that works.
- Storefronts not on Shopify. The methodology is Shopify-specific; we would be guessing.
- Anyone who wants a certificate or a badge. We do not issue them, and nobody credible does.
What we don't do
The limits are the point. Here they are in full.
We don't do remediation
An auditor who also sells the fix has a reason to find more. Removing that reason is the entire structure of this business: no implementation work, no referral fee from anyone who does it, no exceptions, no version of this where the grader and the vendor are the same party.
We are not an overlay vendor
We do not sell, install, or recommend accessibility overlays, widgets, or toolbars. They do not resolve the failures in this report, and the disability community has said so repeatedly and publicly. Our scanner does detect whether one is present and notes it, because an overlay changes what a scan sees and can itself introduce failures.
We don't give legal advice
We report technical facts against a published technical standard. We are a private company — not a regulator, not a government agency, not a law firm — and nothing we send you is a legal notice or a legal opinion. If you have questions about your obligations, ask a lawyer.
We don't sell your data
Scan results, findings, and screenshots are never sold, licensed, or handed to anyone sourcing legal claims, in any form, aggregated or otherwise. That is a standing commitment, not a policy we can revise later.
Who does the work
Veri11y is a startup, founded and run by Omar in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. It was built around a single deliverable — an evidence-anchored report — and a single structural rule: whoever grades the storefront never sells the fix.
What the practice runs on is published rather than described — the methodology, the crawl limits, the evidence rules. The crawler identifies itself in your logs, states its purpose, and tells you how to stop it, before you ever hear from us.
Read the crawler disclosureQuestions we get
Is the Snapshot the same as the audit?
No, and we are deliberate about the naming. The Snapshot is free and automated — it reports what a scanner can determine by itself, which is only a portion of what matters. The audit adds manual keyboard and screen-reader review, full evidence anchors, and a written brief. We never call the free artifact an audit.
How long does an audit take?
Typically two weeks from kickoff to report, depending on the size of the storefront and how many templates are in scope. Scope and dates are agreed in writing before anything starts.
Do you issue a certificate or a badge?
No. Accessibility is a property of a site at a moment in time, and a badge implies something permanent that nobody can honestly promise. You get a dated report describing measured results.
Why did your crawler visit my site?
Because we look at public storefront pages to see whether a free Snapshot would be worth sending. The crawl is capped, rate-limited, honors robots.txt, never logs in, never submits a form, and never touches checkout. The crawler page states every limit and how to stop it.
How do I stop hearing from you?
Email omar@veri11y.com and we will remove your domain, or add a robots.txt rule and the crawler will not return. Every email we send carries a one-click opt-out link.
Start with a Snapshot
One email gets you a free, automated look at what a scan can see on your storefront. No call, no obligation, and no follow-up if you'd rather not have one.
