Accessibility Audit
Description of the Service
Pasilobus Accessibility Audit services are designed to ensure that your Shopify store meets web accessibility standards, providing an inclusive shopping experience for all users, including those with disabilities. By identifying and addressing accessibility issues, we help your store comply with guidelines such as WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and improve usability for a diverse audience.
