Expert ADA & WCAG Compliance Services

Our WordPress ADA
Accessibility Compliance Services

ADA Compliance Audit

We conduct comprehensive ADA compliance audits to identify accessibility barriers that may affect users with disabilities. Our assessment covers website structure, content, navigation, and interactive elements across your entire WordPress site. You’ll receive a prioritized list of issues with clear recommendations to improve accessibility and reduce legal compliance risks.

WCAG 2.1 Audit (A / AA / AAA)

We evaluate your WordPress website against WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, including Level A, AA, and AAA requirements. Our audit identifies compliance gaps across perceivability, operability, understandability, and robustness. You receive actionable guidance to help ensure an inclusive digital experience for all users, including those using assistive technologies.

Section 508 Compliance Audit

We assess your website against Section 508 accessibility requirements to help you meet federal accessibility standards — particularly important for US government contractors, educational institutions, and publicly funded organizations. Our review identifies non-compliant elements and provides a structured remediation roadmap.

Accessibility Audit Report

We deliver a detailed accessibility audit report outlining every identified issue, its severity level (Critical, Major, Minor), WCAG success criteria reference, and recommended fix. The report serves as a practical compliance roadmap and can be shared with your development team, legal team, or stakeholders. Every finding is documented with actionable, jargon-free insights.

Screen Reader Compatibility Test

We test your WordPress website’s compatibility with popular screen readers including NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver to ensure content is fully accessible to visually impaired users. Our evaluation identifies issues with navigation flow, element labeling, ARIA attributes, and reading order — helping create a truly inclusive browsing experience.

Keyboard Navigation Audit

We assess whether all website features and content can be accessed and operated using only a keyboard — no mouse or touch required. Our audit identifies broken tab order, missing focus states, keyboard traps, and inaccessible interactive elements. This ensures a smooth, compliant experience for users who rely on keyboard navigation due to motor disabilities.

Color Contrast Audit

We review your WordPress website’s color palette to verify that all text, icons, and UI elements meet WCAG 2.1 minimum contrast ratios (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text). This improves readability for users with visual impairments including color blindness. Our recommendations balance accessibility compliance with your existing design aesthetic.

Automated + Manual Testing

We combine automated accessibility scanning (using tools like Axe and Wave) with thorough manual testing to surface issues that automated tools alone cannot detect. This dual approach provides a significantly more accurate and complete assessment of your website’s accessibility. The result is a reliable, actionable audit that goes beyond surface-level compliance checks.

Alt Text Implementation

We audit and implement descriptive, context-aware alt text on all images and visual elements across your WordPress website. Proper alt text ensures screen readers can convey meaningful content to visually impaired users and is a core requirement for WCAG 2.1 Level A compliance. We also handle decorative images correctly by applying empty alt attributes where appropriate.

ARIA Labels & Roles

We implement ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) labels, roles, and attributes to improve how your WordPress website communicates with assistive technologies. This includes labeling icon buttons, navigation landmarks, modals, tabs, and custom interactive elements — helping screen reader users understand and navigate your site with confidence.

Keyboard Navigation Fixes

We repair and optimize your website so all features, menus, forms, and interactive elements can be fully accessed and operated using a keyboard alone. Fixes include repairing broken tab sequences, removing keyboard traps, enabling keyboard access to dropdown menus, and ensuring all interactive elements are reachable without a mouse.

Focus Indicator Styling

We design and implement clear, WCAG-compliant focus indicators that visibly highlight which element is currently active during keyboard navigation. Our focus indicators are styled to meet contrast requirements while complementing your existing design system — making the site more accessible without compromising visual quality.

Color Contrast Corrections

We adjust foreground and background color combinations across your WordPress theme to meet WCAG 2.1 contrast ratio requirements. Changes are made systematically — covering body text, headings, buttons, links, placeholders, and form fields — so your entire site meets accessibility standards, not just the most visible elements.

Form Accessibility Fixes

We enhance WordPress form accessibility by adding proper <label> associations, error identification, descriptive instructions, required field announcements, and accessible validation messages. Whether you use WPForms, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, or custom forms, we ensure every field is usable, understandable, and compliant with WCAG success criteria 1.3.1 and 3.3.1.

Skip Navigation Links

We implement skip navigation links at the top of each page, allowing keyboard and screen reader users to bypass repetitive header content and jump directly to the main page content. This is a simple but highly impactful fix for WCAG 2.4.1 compliance and dramatically improves navigation efficiency for assistive technology users.

Accessible Modals & Popups

We refactor WordPress modals, lightboxes, and popups to meet accessibility requirements — including proper focus trapping, keyboard dismissal (Escape key), focus return on close, and screen reader-compatible ARIA roles (role=”dialog”, aria-modal, aria-labelledby). This ensures overlays are fully usable for all users, not just mouse users.

Font Size & Readability Fixes

We optimize WordPress typography — including font sizes, line heights, letter spacing, and paragraph widths — to improve readability for users with cognitive, visual, or reading difficulties. All font sizes are set in relative units (rem/em) to respect user browser preferences and meet WCAG 1.4.4 (Resize Text) requirements.

WordPress Theme Accessibility Fixes

We audit and remediate accessibility issues within your WordPress theme — covering HTML structure, heading hierarchy, landmark regions, color scheme, and interactive component behavior. Whether you’re using a custom theme, Elementor, Divi, Astra, GeneratePress, or any other framework, we fix issues at the theme level to ensure baseline compliance across every page.

Elementor Accessibility Remediation

We fix Elementor-specific accessibility issues including missing alt text in image widgets, inaccessible toggle, accordion and tab widgets, non-semantic heading structures, and keyboard-inaccessible animated elements. We optimize Elementor’s output without compromising your design or requiring a theme rebuild.

WooCommerce Accessibility Fixes

We improve WooCommerce accessibility across product pages, cart, checkout, and account sections — fixing inaccessible quantity fields, non-labeled filter widgets, keyboard-inaccessible product galleries, and form validation issues. We ensure your entire eCommerce flow is WCAG 2.1 compliant and usable by customers with disabilities.

Contact Form Plugin Accessibility (WPForms / CF7 / Gravity Forms)

We audit and fix accessibility issues in popular WordPress form plugins including WPForms, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, and Ninja Forms. Fixes include proper field labeling, error identification, accessible required field indicators, and screen reader-compatible validation feedback — ensuring your forms work for all users.

Navigation Menu & Mega Menu Accessibility

We fix WordPress navigation menu accessibility issues including missing keyboard support on dropdowns, inaccessible hamburger menus on mobile, non-announced submenu expansions, and missing ARIA attributes. We ensure your primary navigation, footer navigation, and any mega menus are fully operable by keyboard and screen reader users.

Slider & Carousel Accessibility

We make WordPress sliders and carousels (Swiper, Slick, Splide, Elementor Carousel, etc.) accessible by adding keyboard controls, pause-on-focus behavior, ARIA live region announcements, and visible navigation controls. Autoplay is disabled or given user control to comply with WCAG 2.2.2 (Pause, Stop, Hide).

Third-Party Plugin Compatibility

We assess and resolve accessibility conflicts introduced by third-party WordPress plugins — including chatbots, cookie banners, notification bars, social sharing widgets, and review plugins. Where plugin code cannot be directly edited, we apply targeted CSS and JavaScript overrides to bring elements into compliance without modifying the plugin core.

Accessible Video & Media Player

We ensure embedded video content meets accessibility requirements by verifying the presence of captions, audio descriptions, and accessible media player controls. We configure or replace media players (YouTube, Vimeo, HTML5 players) to support keyboard operation, screen reader navigation, and WCAG 1.2.x success criteria for time-based media.

Accessibility Compliance Certificate Preparation

We help prepare your WordPress website for accessibility compliance verification by systematically addressing all identified issues and documenting the remediation work completed. Our process supports your efforts toward achieving and demonstrating recognized accessibility standards — providing you with documentation that can support legal due diligence.

Accessibility Statement Page

We create a professionally written accessibility statement page that outlines your organization’s commitment to digital inclusion, the standards followed (WCAG 2.1 AA), known limitations, and how users can request accessible alternatives or report issues. A published accessibility statement demonstrates good faith effort and is recommended for all businesses operating in the USA, UK, and EU.

Ongoing Accessibility Monitoring

We provide continuous WordPress accessibility monitoring — regularly scanning your website for new compliance issues as content, plugins, themes, and functionality evolve. You receive periodic audit reports, proactive issue alerts, and scheduled remediation sprints to ensure your site maintains accessibility standards long-term, not just at initial launch.

Developer Accessibility Training

We deliver practical WordPress accessibility training for your in-house or agency development team — covering WCAG 2.1 guidelines, semantic HTML best practices, accessible component patterns, keyboard interaction models, and testing methodologies using tools like Axe, WAVE, and screen readers. Empowering your team to build accessibly from the start dramatically reduces future remediation costs.

WPCodingLoft - FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is WordPress ADA accessibility compliance?

WordPress ADA accessibility compliance means ensuring your WordPress website meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1). This involves making your site perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for users with disabilities — including those using screen readers, keyboard navigation, or other assistive technologies.

Is my WordPress website legally required to be ADA compliant?

In the United States, the ADA applies to businesses operating places of public accommodation, which courts have increasingly interpreted to include websites. Organizations in regulated sectors, government contractors, educational institutions, and businesses that have received ADA demand letters face the most immediate legal risk. In the UK and EU, similar requirements exist under the Equality Act and the European Accessibility Act.

What is the difference between ADA compliance and WCAG 2.1?

The ADA does not prescribe a specific technical standard for websites, but WCAG 2.1 Level AA has become the widely accepted benchmark for legal compliance in the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia. Meeting WCAG 2.1 AA is the most practical way to demonstrate ADA compliance for your WordPress website.

How long does a WordPress accessibility audit take?

A comprehensive WordPress accessibility audit typically takes 3–7 business days, depending on the size and complexity of your website. After the audit, we provide a detailed report with severity-prioritized findings. Remediation timelines depend on the number and complexity of issues identified.

Can you fix the accessibility issues you find, or only report them?

We offer both. Our audit-only service delivers a detailed compliance report. Our full-service packages include hands-on remediation — fixing all identified issues directly in your WordPress theme, plugins, and content. We also offer ongoing monitoring to keep your site compliant as it evolves.

Do you work with Elementor, Divi, and other page builders?

Yes. We have extensive experience remediating accessibility issues in Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, and other popular WordPress page builders, as well as in WooCommerce, Gravity Forms, WPForms, and most commonly used plugins.

Will you provide an accessibility statement for our website?

Yes. An accessibility statement is included in our compliance packages. It outlines your commitment to accessibility, the standards you follow, any known limitations, and how users can request assistance or report issues.

Do you serve clients outside the USA?

Yes. We provide WordPress ADA accessibility compliance and WCAG services to clients across the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. Accessibility standards vary slightly by region, and we tailor our work accordingly.
