WordPress Accessibility Services

An inaccessible website can make it difficult for people with disabilities to use your services and can create unnecessary compliance risks for your business. We provide WordPress accessibility services to identify and fix accessibility issues, helping your website work better for everyone and align with recognised WCAG standards.

Web accessibility helps make sure your website can be used by as many people as possible, including those who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, or other assistive technologies. Making your website accessible isn't just good practice; it can also help you reach a wider audience.

Automated accessibility tools can identify some issues, but they can't always understand how your website actually works. We take a developer-led approach, reviewing your templates and code to identify problems with areas such as colour contrast, keyboard navigation, focus states, form labels, headings, and interactive elements.

We can then make the necessary changes to your WordPress website, including improving templates, correcting heading structures, adding appropriate screen-reader information, and ensuring ARIA attributes are used correctly. The aim is to make your website easier to navigate and use while helping you work towards the relevant WCAG accessibility requirements.
