Our services

Conception and solution finding for the requirements of the German Accessibility Reinforcement Act (BFSG) without a costly relaunch of the store based on Wordpress and Woocommerce.

Research and implementation of a commercial accessible WordPress theme as a starting point. Front and back-end development using a child theme to further improve accessibility.

Conversion of the store without effort on the customer side and without downtime. Complete fulfillment of the requirements of the BFSG using a native theme in WordPress and without additional external tools.

Special features

The existing online store from 2020 had to be made accessible due to the new legal requirements of the BFSG.

A few extra features were also implemented as part of the new implementation of the accessible theme:

  • Reminder function and waiting list for unavailable products
  • Direct contact on each product page for specific questions about the product
  • Modernized shopping cart and checkout process
  • Fast Ajax search for products and categories
  • Introduction of trust badges in relevant places
  • Visual information on stock levels and free shipping
  • Introduction of colored product badges for new, reduced or otherwise highlighted products
