Quick Answer
Accessibility Service Summary
A WordPress accessibility audit from HalfAccessible is a manual WCAG 2.2 review of your WordPress site — theme, templates, Gutenberg or builder pages, plugins, forms, and WooCommerce checkout when in scope — including real assistive technology testing (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, keyboard-only). Scope and price follow our published packages: Quick Audit $500 (up to 5 templates) or Complete Audit $2,000 (up to 25 templates/flows), with a severity-ranked report, developer-ready fix guidance, a re-test after remediation, and 90 days of support.
WordPress core and many themes ship with accessibility-minded defaults, but custom themes, Elementor/Divi/Bricks layouts, plugin widgets, overlays, and WooCommerce checkout customizations are where real barriers — and legal risk — concentrate. This audit tests what visitors actually encounter, not a scanner-only report or an "accessibility overlay" shortcut.

- Real assistive technology testing: JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, keyboard-only
- Covers themes, Gutenberg/builders, plugins, forms, and WooCommerce when scoped
- Severity-ranked report with WordPress/theme/builder-specific fix guidance
- Free re-test after remediation, plus an accessibility statement draft

Standards We Test Against
Standards, Assistive Technologies, And Tools
WCAG 2.2 (Level A & AA)
The core technical standard behind every finding. We test WordPress templates and flows against WCAG 2.2 success criteria (see also the WCAG 2.2 Quick Reference).
ADA Title III (US)
The legal frame most cited in U.S. web accessibility demand letters. We align findings with the Justice Department's ADA web guidance.
Section 508 (US)
Relevant for WordPress sites serving U.S. government or education buyers. See Section508.gov for federal ICT accessibility requirements.
EN 301 549 / European Accessibility Act
Relevant for EU-facing WordPress sites under the European Accessibility Act (Directive 2019/882) and EN 301 549.
WordPress accessibility practices
We review themes, blocks, and plugins against the WordPress Accessibility Handbook and block editor accessibility guidance.
IS 17802 / RPwD Act, 2016 (India)
Relevant for India-facing WordPress sites that need alignment with IS 17802 and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act framework.
Assistive technology coverage
JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and keyboard-only passes on real pages and flows — not automated scans alone. Tool selection follows W3C guidance on selecting evaluation tools.
Manual + automated pairing
Automated scanning finds many code-level issues; manual review and AT testing catch builder popups, form errors, focus traps, and WooCommerce failures machines miss.
Assistive technologies
JAWS screen reader testing
NVDA screen reader testing
VoiceOver screen reader testing
Keyboard-only navigation testing

WordPress Accessibility Audit FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about auditing WordPress sites for WCAG 2.2 accessibility.
How is a WordPress accessibility audit priced?
We do not invent a separate WordPress-only SKU. WordPress sites use the same published packages on our pricing page: Quick Audit $500 (up to 5 templates) or Complete Audit $2,000 (up to 25 templates/flows). Enterprise multi-site scopes are custom.
Does this work with Elementor, Divi, Bricks, or Gutenberg?
Yes. We audit what is actually rendered — block themes, classic themes, and major page builders — including popups, sliders, and reusable templates your visitors use.
Can you test plugins and third-party widgets on my WordPress site?
We test how installed plugins and embeds affect accessibility on the pages they appear on. Plugin vendors own their source fixes, but we document exactly what is broken and how it impacts users.
Do you test WooCommerce checkout?
When WooCommerce is in scope for a Complete Audit, yes — we manually test catalog, product, cart, checkout, and account journeys with keyboard and screen readers.
Are accessibility overlays enough for WordPress ADA compliance?
No. Overlays do not replace fixing theme, builder, and plugin barriers in the site itself. Our audit documents real WCAG failures and remediation paths; it does not recommend overlays as a compliance shortcut. See the Justice Department’s ADA web guidance.
How is this different from WordPress core accessibility features?
WordPress core and the Accessibility Handbook promote accessible patterns, but custom themes, builder layouts, plugins, and content choices introduce most real-world failures — this audit covers those layers.
What do I get at the end?
A severity-ranked report with developer-ready fix guidance, a free re-test once fixes are implemented, an accessibility statement draft, and 90 days of support.
How long does it take?
Typically 10–14 business days from scoping to final report for a Complete Audit; Quick Audits are faster. We confirm timeline when we lock scope.
Can you also fix the issues or rebuild accessibly in WordPress?
Yes. After the audit you can engage our accessibility remediation team or accessible WordPress development services.
Can I start with the $100 consultation instead?
Absolutely — if you are not sure which package fits, book the 1-hour consultation first and we will confirm scope before you commit to the full audit.
