Developer-Led WordPress Accessibility Remediation

There are many tools that can scan a website. There are also products that attempt to compensate for accessibility issues by adding another JavaScript layer over the finished page.

But when the underlying problem is a theme, a plugin, a form, a menu, a template, a page-builder widget or a custom interaction, somebody still has to understand the code and correct it.

That is what MakeWPCompliant is built to do.

Testing is part of development

Our internal testing system combines browser automation, accessibility testing, keyboard and focus checks, interactive workflow testing, screenshots, repeatable baselines, and regression detection.

Those tools make the work faster and more systematic. They do not replace engineering judgment. The purpose of the tooling is to help us identify problems, trace them to their source, fix them, and prove that the behavior changed.

It is also why we can tell you which of 300 findings are actually 4 problems. That is a development question, not a scanning one.

No magic score

Accessibility is too important — and technically too complicated — to reduce to a single number.

We are comfortable telling a client when automation cannot answer a question. We would rather describe the limits of a test accurately than turn uncertainty into a marketing claim, because the uncertainty does not go away when you stop reporting it.

How we talk about this work

We are not going to build a business on telling public agencies they are about to be sued. The deadlines are real, they are published, and they supply all the urgency anyone needs. Our job is to be useful about the part that comes next.

Most accessibility debt is ordinary. It accumulates through themes, plugins, budgets, deadlines and staff turnover — not through anyone being careless. Starting from that assumption tends to produce a better project.
