November 24, 2023 Where is Shopify's Social Activism When It Comes to Accessibility?
Kris examines Shopify to see if there has been any progress in 2023 in terms of helping their customers (website owners) prevent ADA website litigation and thereby increasing access to people with disabilities to those websites.
The findings: no accessibility statement is published on the homepage, overlay widgets / plugins are still featured on the app store, access to people with disabilities is not among the social causes listed, there are two guides on accessibility, and an accessibility policy as mandated for AODA compliance.
Shopify website owners have been sued ad nauseam over website accessibility for years (most of my client calls are with Shopify customers) and yet the publicly traded company's response has remained weak at best.
Here is the link to the Austen Allred Twitter thread on Shopify and ADA compliance after Austen's sister was sued:

November 18, 2023 Why Big Companies Struggle with Digital Accessibility Despite Significant Resources
Kris Rivenburgh explains why corporations and other large organizations often struggle with digital accessibility and ADA website compliance despite having the budget and personnel necessary to make their digital experiences accessible.
Several of the biggest brands in the world have been sued multiple times and despite billions in revenue, even these companies dislike paying out 5-figures and the hassle of dealing with litigation. Moreover, they certainly want to avoid any negative PR.

November 18, 2023 The Quality of Digital Accessibility Services is Not the Same, Price is Only One Consideration
Kris Rivenburgh explains why you need to thoroughly evaluate digital accessibility services and not solely decide based on price. While price is important, choosing a provider with a very low price could result in having to redo the project and paying more.
And choosing a provider with a very high price doesn't necessarily mean you're getting a high quality deliverable back; you might be overpaying for a solid audit or overpaying for a poor quality service.
