WordPress Accessibility Audit

Turn accessibility uncertainty into evidence, priorities and an actionable remediation backlog.

A manual WordPress Accessibility Audit examines an agreed sample of pages, templates and customer journeys using human judgment, keyboard testing, assistive technologies and authorized technical evidence.

Choose the smallest useful accessibility step

The free Check can surface public signals. The manual Audit tests agreed experiences and explains what to do next.

Paid Technical Audit module

Request the manual Audit

Use human testing when representative journeys, context, severity and remediation priorities must be understood.

When a manual Audit is the better fit

Keyboard or focus problems

Menus, dialogs, forms, skip links, focus order or visible focus do not work predictably without a mouse.

Screen-reader uncertainty

Page structure, labels, names, roles, status messages or dynamic changes need human verification.

Forms and critical journeys

Errors, instructions, validation, checkout, booking, enquiry or account journeys need representative testing.

Content and editor governance

Teams need reusable rules for headings, links, images, tables, documents, blocks and page-builder components.

Procurement or stakeholder evidence

A buyer, partner or internal team needs a bounded findings register and remediation plan—not an unsupported compliance claim.

WordPress implementation questions

The team needs to separate content, theme, plugin, block, page-builder, custom-code and third-party responsibilities.

Agreed Audit scope

The proposal names what is included, what remains outside scope and which evidence requires access.

Representative sample

Name the pages, templates, journeys, devices and browsers that matter instead of implying every state is covered.

Human interaction testing

Keyboard, focus, screen-reader and other assistive-technology checks appropriate to the agreed sample.

Manual criteria review

Selected Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) criteria interpreted in the context of real content and journeys.

WordPress evidence

Theme, plugins, blocks, page builders and custom code can be reviewed when access is separately approved and necessary.

How the evidence is developed

  1. Confirm the question and sample. Identify critical journeys, representative templates, users and decision needs.
  2. Collect automated and manual evidence. Use automation as supporting evidence, then verify context through human testing.
  3. Trace ownership and likely cause. Separate content, design-system, theme, plugin, custom-code and third-party responsibilities where evidence allows.
  4. Prioritize remediation. Balance user impact, journey criticality, recurrence, implementation risk and dependency order.
  5. Agree the next gate. Fix with the client team, scope Delivery, run user testing or retest an approved remediation sample.

What the client receives

Finding register

Affected journey, evidence, relevant WCAG mapping, severity, priority and known limitations.

Ownership map

The most likely content, design, WordPress, vendor or governance owner for each remediation decision.

Remediation options

Practical fixes, dependencies, acceptance evidence and where deeper technical investigation remains necessary.

Prioritized backlog

A sequence that distinguishes immediate barriers, repeated component issues, content operations and longer-term improvements.

Stakeholder summary

A business-readable explanation of affected journeys, risk, limitations and the recommended next investment.

Optional retest

A separately agreed review of the remediated sample, with residual findings and evidence recorded.

Illustrative finding structure

This example shows the structure of a finding and is not taken from a client website.

Example finding

Checkout error message is not announced

Affected journey
Submit an incomplete checkout form and recover from the validation error.
Evidence
The visual error appears, but focus does not move and the status is not announced in the example state.
User impact
A screen-reader or keyboard user may not know why the transaction did not continue.
Likely owners
Form component, theme or checkout integration owner; final ownership requires technical evidence.
Remediation direction
Provide a programmatic error summary, associate field errors, manage focus and retest the complete journey.

Price range and scope factors

Prices are in USD. The final quote reflects the agreed pages, journeys, devices, browsers, access and evidence requirements.

Typical price range

Manual WordPress Accessibility Audit

From $1,250 USD

$1,250–2,750 USD

Manual Technical Audit module

Human review of an agreed page, template and workflow sample.

Request scoped Audit

What changes the quote

Number and variety of journeys, templates, interactive states, devices, browsers, access, technical depth, stakeholder evidence and retest needs.

Remediation, user testing, formal conformance documentation and legal or regulatory advice are separate. Combined, multisite or portfolio scope may move into the Full or Complex Technical Audit range.

Important boundary

The Audit does not guarantee compliance, certify the website, test every assistive technology or cover every private and third-party state. It provides evidence and engineering priorities inside the explicitly agreed sample.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the free Check and the manual Audit?

The free Check is an automated public first look. The manual Audit reviews an agreed sample of pages, templates and journeys using human judgment, keyboard testing, assistive technologies and additional evidence where authorized.

Does the Audit certify legal compliance?

No. It is an engineering and accessibility assessment, not legal advice, a universal certification or a guarantee of compliance. Any formal conformance document or legal review must be agreed separately.

What does the manual WordPress Accessibility Audit cost?

Accessibility Audit pricing starts at $1,250 USD, with a typical price range of $1,250–2,750 USD. Representative pages, journeys, devices, browsers, access and evidence requirements determine the final quote.

Does the Audit include remediation?

No by default. The deliverable explains evidence, impact, priority, ownership and remediation options. Production fixes, user testing, formal conformance documentation and retesting are separately scoped unless explicitly included.

What access is required?

Public evidence may be enough for some findings. Theme, plugin, block, page-builder, custom-code or private-workflow analysis uses only the access agreed after scope and authorization. Never place credentials in the public form.
