What They Needed

  • A long-term Shopify development partner who could handle ongoing feature work without micromanagement
  • Full WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance in response to two formal ADA lawsuits
  • A modernized theme that could support new product features, loyalty integrations, and seasonal refreshes
  • Yotpo Rewards integration and 1% for the Planet sustainability badge

The Obstacles

  • Two formal ADA lawsuits filed within months of each other -- one targeting WCAG compliance, the other focused on screen reader and keyboard navigation
  • An external accessibility auditor introduced regressions that broke collection grids, removed alt text site-wide, and deleted article content
  • All fixes had to be completed and merged into the Spring 2026 theme before a hard launch deadline

Our Response

  • Full ADA remediation across both lawsuits -- WCAG compliance, screen reader support, ARIA labeling, focus states, and keyboard navigation
  • Audited and reversed regressions caused by a third-party accessibility vendor before they reached production
  • Spring 2026 theme launched live on schedule -- February 17, 2026
  • Yotpo Rewards loyalty program and 1% for the Planet integration built and deployed
  • Tablescape product feature with metafield-based collection filtering
  • Schema markup, SEO improvements, and ongoing code optimization
  • Post-launch: custom font implementation, gift engraving feature, and pre-order app migration

Four years in, this is one of Fifth Effect's most active engagements. From legal compliance emergencies to seasonal launches, we operate as an extension of the Weston Table team -- not a vendor they have to manage.

We could not imagine a better partnership!
