1. How EnableAll’s technology differs from other accessibility apps 

Fixes at code level, beyond overlay 

EnableAll’s code-fix app repairs accessibility issues directly in your CMS (fixing alt text, ARIA attributes, form labels, skip links, heading structure, and keyboard navigation) without touching your original code. Most other accessibility platforms rely on JavaScript overlay widgets that paint over issues at surface level, which can slow your site, get blocked by ad blockers, and leave underlying barriers in place. EnableAll’s approach reduces legal risk, protects site speed, improves SEO and AI discovery, and requires no developer work — achieving an 89% to 100% reduction in accessibility errors across client sites. 

Optional Assist-Bar, built on a code-first foundation 

The EnableAll Assist-Bar is an optional customer-facing toolbar included free on every plan — but unlike other accessibility apps in the market our widget is not our primary solution. It is an enhancement to it. Code-Fix does the heavy lifting on backend compliance, while the Assist-Bar adds a further layer of WCAG support, giving customers direct control over their accessibility experience through 40+ features covering WCAG A, AA, and many AAA requirements. Most clients use both to maximize compliance. Some choose to run Code-Fix alone, giving customers toolbar access via Shift + E when needed. 

SEO-boosting AI alt text written directly to your code 

Our ecommerce-trained AI generates product-aware image descriptions based on color, material, style, and distinguishing features, then writes them directly into your CMS — not as injected scripts. This means search engines can read and credit them, strengthening SEO alongside accessibility. Other tools often use AI not trained on ecommerce content, and some inject alt text via script rather than writing it to the CMS, where it cannot be seen by search engines at all. 

Drive conversions with AI built for ecommerce — not generic web content 

EnableAll’s AI is trained specifically on ecommerce data and understands product pages, checkout flows, and shopping journeys. Alt text, simplified text, video captions, and translations are all optimized for product discovery and conversion — not generic web output. This turns accessibility investment from a compliance cost into a measurable driver of traffic, basket size, and conversion. 

Your site speed (and conversion rate) stay intact 

Pure accessibility overlay solutions that generate all fixes at the JavaScript layer can slow your site, hurt Core Web Vitals, and reduce conversion. EnableAll’s Code-Fix approach works at code level, with no performance bloat and no conversion tax. Our Assist-Bar widget is designed to be extremely lightweight, and our Auto-Audit scanner runs at a frequency you control — weekly or monthly is sufficient — unlike tools that run daily scans which can themselves impact site performance. 

Built for Shopify – not just badged for it 

EnableAll was built for Shopify from day one, not adapted from a generic web tool. Our Code-Fix technology works within Shopify’s theme architecture and our AI is trained on ecommerce data. Some tools display a “Built for Shopify” badge, which is available to any business in the Shopify Partner Program and does not indicate deep platform integration. EnableAll’s focus is on going deeper, not broader. 

Works for custom and headless CMS sites 

EnableAll also extends to custom-built and headless CMS websites, with further platform expansion planned. 

Reduced legal exposure — code-level fixes that hold up where it counts 

Because EnableAll’s Code-Fix repairs accessibility barriers at the source rather than masking them at render time, fixes survive real audits and real assistive technology testing. Our software has achieved an 89% to 100% reduction in accessibility errors across client sites — a depth of remediation that provides a meaningfully stronger foundation when compliance is formally assessed, whether by an auditor, a procurement team, or in a legal challenge. 

Surface-level fixes that mask issues rather than resolving them offer limited protection when a site is scrutinised in detail. By repairing barriers directly in the code, EnableAll gives merchants a more defensible position — backed by genuine remediation, honest compliance reporting, and access to Expert Services for the situations that require human-level evidence and documentation.

A cleaner, more brand-aligned experience — built for premium stores 

EnableAll was designed to feel like a natural part of your store, not an addition to it. The Assist-Bar adapts to your brand colors rather than imposing its own, and every feature (from highlight hover bounding boxes to dark mode contrast adjustments to link highlighting) uses EnableAll’s proprietary contrast engine to stay on-brand while meeting WCAG requirements. The result is an accessibility implementation that feels considered and intentional, enhancing your store’s credibility rather than competing with it. 

For fashion, luxury, beauty, and lifestyle brands where visual identity is commercial currency, this distinction matters. Accessibility should strengthen the experience you have built, not compromise it. Most other accessibility tools apply a widget in a fixed color, position, and style with limited adaptation to your brand — which can feel at odds with a premium store design. 

2. How EnableAll takes a different approach to accessibility 

Fair, transparent pricing 

EnableAll pricing is based on your 12-month average sessions, not your most recent month. This means seasonal peaks and promotional surges never trigger unexpected charges as found with some other accessibility apps. A clear dashboard shows exactly where you stand at all times. 

All accessibility features in all plans 

Every merchant gets the full Assist-Bar feature set, full Code-Fix capability, and every update from day one — ensuring maximum accessibility for every customer regardless of plan. This includes Sign Language translation, despite it carrying an additional third-party cost to us, because supporting the full spectrum of customer needs is a founding principle, not an upsell. Some advanced merchant-level features are available on higher plans. 

Some accessibility tools lock WCAG-required capabilities (including image alt text) behind higher pricing tiers. This means merchants on lower plans may unknowingly be offering a less compliant experience to their customers, creating both an inclusion gap and a legal risk. Accessibility should not be rationed by budget. 

Honest about what automation can achieve 

No automated accessibility tool can guarantee full WCAG compliance, and we say so openly. EnableAll combines automated fixes, ongoing monitoring, and human expert review through our Auto-Audit scanner and Expert Services team — because we know some fixes require a human. Other tools have faced legal challenges precisely because they overstated what automation can deliver. 

Shaped by lived experience — ‘Nothing about us without us’ 

EnableAll was founded by people with disabilities, working alongside ecommerce specialists and accessibility experts. We take seriously the essential mantra spoken throughout the disabled community: ‘Nothing about us without us.’ Every feature we build is tested with real assistive technology users — meaning our tools work in the real world, not just in controlled tests. When a customer using a screen reader, alternative input device, or cognitive accessibility tools encounters an EnableAll-powered store, they are experiencing a product designed with them, not just for them. 

EnableAll is also built in collaboration with Purple Tuesday, the leading global movement for improving the disabled customer experience. Purple Tuesday works with businesses across retail, hospitality, and ecommerce to drive meaningful, lasting change for disabled customers — and their expertise directly shapes how EnableAll is designed, tested, and evolved. For merchants who want confidence that their accessibility platform is held to an independent expert standard, this partnership matters. 

Enterprise-grade infrastructure and corporate backing 

EnableAll runs on Microsoft Azure with autoscaling and enterprise-grade security, and is fully GDPR compliant. As a subsidiary of CareTech — a multinational organization with operations across the UK, UAE, and Saudi Arabia — EnableAll is built on stable, long-term foundations with offices in the United Kingdom and the United States. 

Privacy-first by design — no personal data collected 

EnableAll collects no personal data from end users. Accessibility preferences are captured on a session basis only, stored anonymously, and never linked to an individual. There are no third-party trackers, no behavioural profiling, and no data sharing. For merchants operating in Europe, the UK, or California (or any brand that takes customer privacy seriously) this provides a clean, confident foundation for compliance with GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA. 

Some accessibility tools store preference cookies or collect behavioural data in ways that may require additional consent mechanisms. EnableAll’s approach avoids this entirely, keeping your compliance posture simple and your customers’ data protected. 

Auto-Audit: continuous compliance monitoring on your schedule 

Accessibility is not a one-time fix. Sites evolve, themes update, new products are added, and compliance gaps can reopen. EnableAll’s Auto-Audit tool monitors your store continuously, scanning for accessibility issues and surfacing actionable insights so gaps are identified and addressed before they become liabilities. Scan frequency is merchant-controlled (weekly or monthly is sufficient for most stores) and Auto-Audit is available on any website platform, not just Shopify, making it useful for brands operating across multiple digital properties. 

Most other accessibility tools offer some form of compliance scanning. Where EnableAll goes further is in giving merchants meaningful control over scan frequency, and providing structured, actionable reporting that makes remediation straightforward rather than overwhelming. 

Expert Services: human expertise for the compliance challenges automation cannot solve 

EnableAll’s Expert Services team provides manual accessibility testing, custom fixes, full site audits, Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs), and litigation support for merchants who need to demonstrate compliance to auditors, procurement teams, or legal counsel. Many clients combine automated Code-Fix and Assist-Bar with a periodic Expert Services audit to maximise compliance confidence and reduce ongoing risk. Some fixes simply require a human expert — and having that capability within the same platform keeps everything consistent and accountable. 

Many accessibility tools are software-only solutions. For merchants facing formal compliance challenges, procurement requirements, or legal scrutiny, having access to integrated human expertise and documentation can make a significant difference. 

3. Features EnableAll offers that other accessibility tools do not 

Rich AAA-aligned features that exceed today’s standards 

Our Assist-Bar offers WCAG A, AA, and many AAA-aligned features — including sign language translation, simplified text, read-out text, click on hover, and declutter content. These are rarely found in other accessibility toolbars. Most tools stop at AA, but EnableAll goes above and beyond on AA and AAA requirements. 

Addressing all six major accessibility barriers 

Most accessibility apps fix a handful of common issues. EnableAll fixes all six of the most common barriers: missing alt text, poor color contrast, broken keyboard navigation, complex language, missing assistive attributes, and overwhelming interfaces — each resolved at the level that delivers lasting compliance. 

A more accessible user interface, built to the standards we help others achieve 

Many accessibility toolbars fail basic accessibility requirements in their own design — low contrast buttons, all-caps text, no feature explanations, font sizes below standard. EnableAll’s Assist-Bar is built to the same standards it helps stores achieve, with accessible contrast, appropriately sized text, sentence case throughout, and an information button on every feature. 

Features that take our clients and their shoppers further 

Where other tools offer similar capabilities on paper, every EnableAll feature goes further in practice: 

• Color customization that only allows accessible pairings, preventing customers from accidentally creating unreadable combinations — a problem that exists with all other accessibility tools in the market. 
• True dark mode that dynamically recalibrates contrast rather than inverting colors, which frequently produces unreadable text and broken visuals in competitor tools. 
• Multiple focus tools usable simultaneously — reading guide, reading ruler, and large cursor can all be active at once, unlike tools that group these under a single button and force customers to choose. 
• Stop animations that halts more formats (including animated PNGs and emojis) without breaking navigation menus — where most competitors fall short. 
• Accessibility preferences saved across all EnableAll-powered stores with no account or personal data required. 
• Correct cursor behavior preserved throughout: triangular cursor on the page, hand cursor on interactive elements. Most competitor tools override this entirely, making it harder for users — especially those with low vision — to distinguish clickable from non-clickable areas. 
• Text resizing that doesn’t break page layouts, cause content overflow, or trigger horizontal scrolling — a common failure point in other tools that breaks the shopping experience at the moment a customer is trying to engage. 
• An optional keyboard-first accessibility banner positioned at the very top of every page, ensuring the toolbar is the first element reached when tabbing — so accessibility tools are accessible to keyboard-only users. Most toolbars sit at the side or bottom of the page, outside the natural tab sequence. EnableAll offers a side toolbar and an optional header banner, with full control for both merchants and customers over when it appears.

Why EnableAll does not offer accessibility profiles 

EnableAll deliberately does not offer preset disability profiles. Disabilities and neurodiversities are too varied for any profile to serve a person’s actual needs accurately — and profiles can give users a false sense that their needs have been met. Instead, every customer has individual control over every feature, with filtering by support type in development. 

Always evolving, always listening 

EnableAll is continuously shaped by accessibility experts, clients, and the wider disability community. Everything we ship is purposeful and tested. Where a feature exists in another tool that you do not see in EnableAll, there is always a reason — we choose not to build for the sake of a longer feature list.
