When it comes to running an e-commerce store, most managers are focused on sales, marketing, and customer experience. But what happens when new regulations suddenly put your entire platform under the microscope?
That’s where Lillie Mazitova of Rocket Conseil comes in. Lillie’s Paris-based web agency that specializes in e-commerce automation and compliance. She’s spent over a decade helping brands navigate a constantly shifting landscape of regulations—everything from GDPR and payment security to the European Accessibility Act.
Lillie shared with me that there are some clear red flags that often mean a site will need a complete rebuild:
- Using a SaaS platform that makes digital accessibility difficult to implement compared to open source.
- Running on an outdated IT ecosystem with years of neglect.
- Using a theme that was never designed with accessibility or compliance in mind.
In her words, compliance is “case-by-case,” but many companies wait until they get fined before taking action. And with the European Accessibility Act now applying to businesses with as few as 10 employees or €2M in turnover—plus fines of €20,000–€50,000 every six months—waiting is no longer a safe bet.
The good news? Accessibility and compliance aren’t just about avoiding penalties. Done right, they improve SEO, speed, and usability for everyone.
If your e-commerce store is facing compliance questions—or you want to avoid expensive rebuilds—reach out to Lillie on LinkedIn. Getting an expert in early can save you time, budget, and a lot of stress down the road.
