Our Approach to WordPress Accessibility

Ever wondered why some WordPress sites feel welcoming to everyone while others leave certain visitors frustrated? We make WordPress sites more inclusive by combining smart technology with real human expertise to tackle accessibility barriers head-on. Our approach goes beyond just checking WCAG compliance boxes—it actually makes your site easier for everyone to use, helping you connect with your whole audience in meaningful ways.

We Know the Regulations

Our WordPress Accessibility Services are tailored for WordPress websites aiming to meet ADA, Section 504, or HHS regulatory guidelines before the upcoming deadlines, but our commitment to inclusive websites goes beyond meeting legal requirements. We believe every website should be welcoming and functional for everyone—whether or not regulations apply. We begin with thorough audits that combine automated scans with hands-on reviews.Then we get to work on remediation.

(with a small profile picture), and on the right side is a WCAG compliance indicator showing "AA" with a green checkmark and circular progress icon. The overall theme appears to be about web accessibility and achieving WCAG AA compliance standards.

We’re With You Along the Way

Throughout the process, your Account Manager, Developers, and SEO Specialists will work in tandem to make your website accessible in the most efficient way possible. You’ll receive regular reports (view a sample report here) on what’s been fixed and what’s next on our agenda. Because accessibility standards evolve, we provide ongoing guidance so you don’t have to worry about complex rule changes.

Our goal is simple: create an online experience that works for everyone, not just when it’s required by law. It’s the right thing to do for your users, your brand, and the communities you serve.

End-to-End Accessibility

Accessibility can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to tackle it alone. Our development team handles the fixes for you, ensuring an experience that won’t sacrifice design or functionality. We’ll coordinate everything and let you know exactly what’s happening behind the scenes.

Unlike many agencies that only scan or provide a checklist of what’s wrong, SiteCare goes further by managing the entire process from start to finish—scanning, reviewing, and remediating your site. This truly comprehensive approach sets us apart and keeps your website aligned with the latest accessibility standards.

1. "Color Contrast" with a green checkmark icon
2. "ALT Attributes on Images" with a green checkmark icon
3. "Screenreader Compatible" with a green checkmark icon
4. "Keyboard Accessible" with a red X icon, indicating this test failed

Below the checklist is a preview of a website with a dark navy blue background featuring:
- A navigation menu with "Home" and "About Us" links
- A blue "Book Now" button
- Text that reads "Keep Your Site Accessible"
- Two buttons: a blue "Book Now" button and a white outlined "Learn More" button
- An image of a person with light brown hair, appearing to be in thought, wearing a light-colored blouse and a watch

The overall interface suggests a tool for evaluating and improving website accessibility, highlighting areas that pass accessibility standards and those that need improvement.

Accessibility for Everyone

Web accessibility is about real people-your customers-who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other assistive technologies every day. Our human-led approach ensures that behind every automated scan there’s a real person interpreting results, prioritizing fixes, and making sure the solutions truly work.

We don’t rely on automated tools alone. Our team also performs manual testing to properly emulate how users with assistive technologies interact with your site. By actively navigating your site with screen readers, keyboard-only input, and other adaptive methods, we identify and resolve accessibility challenges that automated scans can miss-ensuring a truly inclusive experience for all visitors.

WordPress Accessibility Frequently Asked Questions

Why is accessibility important for my WordPress website?

Accessibility is essential because it enables users with disabilities to have equal access to your content and services, and it’s also a legal obligation. Websites in the United States may be covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)—particularly under Title II for state/local government entities and Title III for public accommodations—and many organizations receiving federal funds must follow Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. These laws require that individuals with disabilities not be excluded from, or denied access to, digital resources. By prioritizing accessibility, you’re both helping your audience and meeting recognized legal standards that help you avoid fines, lawsuits, and reputational risks.

Isn’t there a WordPress plugin that can fix all accessibility issues?

While plugins can address some common problems, no single tool can guarantee full compliance. A well-rounded approach combines automated and manual checks, specialized code adjustments, and ongoing monitoring.

Do I need ongoing accessibility services, or is it a one-time fix?

Websites evolve constantly—content changes, plugins update, and new features appear. Regular scans and manual reviews help you remain compliant as your site grows.

Which SiteCare plans include accessibility services?

Our accessibility services are offered exclusively to Platinum and Diamond clients. If you’re interested in upgrading or learning more about these plans, our team would be happy to guide you through your options.

How much should I budget for WordPress Accessibility services?

It depends. We can create a budget that addresses your urgency, scale of your site and the severity of the issues we uncover. Platinum and Diamond plan clients enjoy a 15% discount on all Support Bundles.

How long does it take to make a WordPress site accessible?

The timeline depends on your site’s size, complexity, and the number of issues identified. Some sites see major improvements in a few weeks, while larger or more complex sites may need a longer, phased approach.

How do you determine which accessibility issues to fix first?

We prioritize issues by severity and impact—starting with those that most affect user experience or risk non-compliance. Our team then addresses the remaining concerns systematically.

What if my website is custom-built or heavily customized?

Our WordPress experts tackle everything from custom themes to intricate plugins. We adapt to your unique setup, making accessibility adjustments that fit smoothly with your site’s design and functionality.

Will accessibility changes impact my site’s look and feel?

In most cases, improving accessibility requires minimal changes to your site’s design. If visual adjustments (like color contrast) are needed, we’ll uphold your brand identity while meeting accessibility standards.

Do you provide manual testing in addition to automated scans?

Yes. We manually test your site using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and other assistive tools to catch issues automated scans may miss, supporting real-world usability.

Will changes for accessibility slow down my website?

Accessibility enhancements often improve site performance. In cases where modifications might affect load times, we’ll optimize the code and settings to support a fast user experience.

Can I handle some of the changes myself to reduce costs?

Absolutely. If your team feels confident making certain updates—such as adding alt text or adjusting content—you can handle those internally. We’ll still review your work to confirm it meets accessibility requirements.

Does improving accessibility also help my SEO?

Yes, it can. Efforts like adding proper headings, alt text, and clear content structure often align with search engine ranking factors, which can boost visibility.

How do you approach third-party content, like embedded videos or iframes?

We’ll identify accessibility issues within embedded elements and suggest changes or alternative solutions. If a third-party service needs to be involved, we’ll collaborate with them to improve compliance on your site.

1. You must be a Platinum or Diamond plan client for at least 60 days before a legal notice is received.
