WordPress WCAG 2.2 AA Audit Report Template for Agencies

WordPress agencies managing 15 to 50 client retainers can turn quarterly accessibility inspections into predictable recurring revenue. Page builders and marketing popup plugins routinely introduce skipped heading levels, unlabelled icon links, and low-contrast buttons.

REGULATORY BENCHMARK

Both US ADA Title III demand letters and EU EN 301 549 inspections target public-facing WordPress marketing sites and WooCommerce checkouts.

TYPICAL AGENCY RETAINER TICKET
$500 - $1,400 per WordPress site

High-frequency compliance traps & source remediations

Elementor / Block Editor Heading Hierarchy Skips

WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships

Editors pick H4 or H5 tags purely for smaller font styling directly beneath an H1 hero title, breaking screen-reader rotor navigation.

<!-- Keep semantic H2 order and control visual scale with utility classes -->
<h2 class="text-sm font-semibold uppercase tracking-wider">
  <?php echo esc_html( get_field('section_kicker') ); ?>
</h2>

Contact Form 7 & Gravity Forms Placeholder-Only Inputs

WCAG 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions

Inputs rely solely on placeholder attributes that vanish as soon as the user types.

<label for="lead-email">Work Email</label>
<input id="lead-email" name="email" type="email" autocomplete="email" required />
