You cannot fix what you have not found. Many teams know their site has accessibility problems but do not know which ones, how serious they are, or where to start. Others have run a free scanner, received a list of hundreds of warnings, and have no idea which ones matter.
Our WordPress accessibility audit is for business owners, marketing managers and development teams who need a clear, trustworthy picture of their site. We test the way real users do, and we turn the results into a ranked list of fixes your team or ours can work through.
We test against WCAG 2.2 Level AA. WCAG is the standard most often used to judge website accessibility in the US, including for ADA claims. This page is general information, not legal advice.
What’s included
- Template and flow selection. We pick a sample that covers every unique page template and your most important tasks, such as forms, search, checkout or booking.
- Automated testing with tools such as axe to catch issues like missing labels, low contrast and invalid markup across many pages quickly.
- Keyboard testing to confirm every link, button, menu and form can be used without a mouse.
- Screen reader testing with NVDA and VoiceOver to check headings, landmarks, labels and announcements.
- Zoom and reflow checks at 200% and 400% zoom and on small screens.
- Content review of alt text, link text, headings, video captions and documents.
- WordPress-specific checks of your theme, page builder and plugins, including Gravity Forms and other form tools.
How it works
- Scope. We review your site and agree on the templates and flows to test.
- Fixed quote. You receive a fixed price based on that scope.
- Test. We run automated scans, then test manually with a keyboard and screen readers.
- Report. We write up each issue with the WCAG success criterion it fails, a screenshot or code sample, who it affects and how to fix it.
- Walkthrough. We meet with your team to explain the findings and answer questions.
- Retest (optional). After fixes are made, we retest and confirm what is resolved.
We describe our process in more detail in how to audit WordPress accessibility. If you want to know what changed in the latest version of the guidelines, see what WCAG 2.2 changes for WordPress sites.
What you get
- A prioritized report. Issues are ranked by impact on users and effort to fix, so you know what to do first.
- Fix guidance written for developers, with WordPress-specific notes about themes, blocks and plugins.
- A summary for decision makers in plain language.
- An error count you can use as a baseline and track over time.
- Optional automated checks we can add to your update process so errors do not come back.
Why Verma IT
We see accessibility errors as measurable technical debt. An audit gives you the baseline number. Fixing issues and retesting brings it down, and ongoing checks keep it there. That is the same approach we take with security, speed and outdated code.
Our founder, Ajay Verma, is a WordPress core contributor and a WordCamp speaker. He also worked in support at Gravity Forms, which helps when forms are where many accessibility barriers show up. Our team uses Playwright to run automated browser tests, so after the audit we can turn key findings into repeatable checks.
We also know the limits of quick fixes. Our article on why accessibility overlays do not make you compliant explains why we fix code instead of adding widgets. When you are ready to fix the issues, our ADA compliance service can take the report from findings to done.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a WordPress accessibility audit?
- It is a structured review of your site against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. We test with automated tools, a keyboard and screen readers, and report each issue with where it is, who it affects and how to fix it.
- Isn't an automated scan enough?
- No. Automated tools catch only part of the problems, such as missing alt text or low contrast. Issues like confusing focus order, unclear error messages or unusable menus need a person to test them.
- Which pages do you audit?
- We audit a representative sample: every unique template plus your key user flows, such as contact forms, checkout or sign-up. Most WordPress sites reuse a small number of templates, so this covers the large majority of issues.
- Will the audit make my site ADA compliant?
- The audit tells you what needs to change. Compliance comes from fixing those issues, which your developers or our team can do. This is general information, not legal advice.
- How much does an accessibility audit cost?
- It depends on the number of templates and user flows. We look at your site first and then give you a fixed quote.
