Minus33 · Shopify theme accessibility
Making a Shopify storefront easier to navigate.
Minus33 needed accessibility fixes in its Shopify theme code, which a scan or an overlay can't do. We audited the storefront, fixed the theme code, tested the changes, and wrote up what the app vendors needed to fix on their side.

Ownership
Three places a problem can live.
Some issues were in the theme, which we could change. Others were inside third-party apps or in content the store team manages.
Theme code: we fixed focus states, accessible names, page structure and keyboard access, then checked the changes in the browser.
The challenge
One scan could not fix this.
Keyboard focus, page landmarks, labels and contrast break in different ways. Some of the problems were in the theme code. Others were inside apps, or in content the store team manages. Each one had to go to whoever could actually fix it.
What AESYMMETRIC did
Theme fixes, plus a clear list for everyone else.
We fixed focus behavior, accessible names, page structure and keyboard access in the theme.
A later manual check found a focus outline that was too faint on light backgrounds. We fixed the theme rule and retested it in desktop and mobile previews.
Problems inside third-party apps went into a written handoff for Minus33 and the app vendors.
How we tested it
Keyboard walkthroughs and GitHub review.
The affected pages were walked through with a keyboard and in the browser, with extra manual checks on specific fixes.
Every theme change went through Minus33's own GitHub review before it was merged.
The result
Fixed theme code and a handoff for the rest.
Minus33 got accessibility fixes in its theme code and a written plan for the issues outside it. Last reviewed September 28, 2026.
