Frequently asked questions

Does Shopify support full AODA and WCAG compliance?

Shopify can be made fully AODA and WCAG 2.2 AA compliant, but this is never automatic—accessible themes, template adjustments, and manual testing are essential to cover all legal requirements.

What is the AODA website compliance deadline for colleges in Ontario?

Since 2021, all public-sector organizations in Ontario—including colleges—must ensure any new or significantly refreshed website content meets WCAG 2.2 AA standards immediately. Ongoing compliance is mandatory for every new launch.

What happens if my college falls short on AODA compliance during migration?

If your migration is not fully compliant, your college could receive formal accessibility complaints, trigger a government investigation, lose public funding eligibility, and have to urgently fix issues at extra cost—all while impacting students who rely on accessible digital services.

Can third-party Shopify apps create accessibility problems?

Yes. Many third-party Shopify apps and plug-ins aren't built to WCAG standards. Each integration must be audited and, if needed, remediated to ensure your entire user journey meets compliance.

How is compliance with AODA and WCAG documented?

After migration, you receive a detailed conformance report listing all fixes and accessibility test outcomes, formatted for procurement and regulatory review. Every DoodleWeb migration for higher education includes this documentation.

Does DoodleWeb provide training for college staff after launch?

Yes. DoodleWeb supplies both written documentation and tailored training to help your staff keep web content accessible and adapt to evolving regulations after the migration is complete.

How often should a college’s Shopify storefront be re-audited for accessibility?

Annual accessibility audits are best practice, with additional reviews any time there’s a major site update. DoodleWeb provides ongoing audit and compliance support designed specifically for higher education.

Why not just use an accessibility plug-in for Shopify?

Accessibility overlay plug-ins rarely achieve full compliance—and can create new barriers for assistive technology. Only hands-on, developer-led remediation secures robust, auditable accessibility.
