Accessibility & compliance

Website Accessibility (WCAG Compliance)

A blend of human-led auditing and automated monitoring to keep your site closer to WCAG compliance over time.

This is the Website Accessibility (WCAG Compliance) service page for Best Website.

Our goal is not to slap an overlay on your site and call it done. Instead, we combine automation, remediation, and advisory support to help you steadily move closer to WCAG compliance while improving the experience for real people.

Accessibility is about serving every visitor, reducing risk, and making your website easier for everyone to use.

What this service covers

Depending on your plan and risk profile, accessibility support typically includes:

  • Automated scanning and remediation for common technical issues
  • A branded accessibility widget for visitors who need adjustments
  • An accessibility statement and certificate for your site
  • Ongoing monitoring and alerting as your content changes
  • Periodic human-led reviews and prioritized recommendations
  • Guidance for your team on how to publish more accessible content

We focus on practical, high-impact improvements that fit the way your team actually works, not an abstract checklist that lives in a drawer.

1. Automated scanning and overlays

We start by turning on automated tooling that can immediately address a wide range of issues:

  • Missing alt attributes and ARIA labels in common patterns
  • Color contrast problems that can be programmatically detected
  • Basic keyboard navigation and focus handling
  • Persistent monitoring as new content is added

You get a baseline of coverage quickly, especially useful for content-heavy sites or teams that publish often.

2. Human-led reviews and real workflows

Automation is powerful, but it cannot handle everything. That is where human review comes in.

Across key templates and user journeys, we look at:

  • How real users navigate your site with a keyboard or assistive tech
  • Whether headings, landmarks, and content structure make sense
  • How forms, modals, and interactive elements behave
  • Where the experience breaks down for visitors who do not browse visually

For Pro plans, we translate those observations into a clear remediation plan that your team or ours can execute.

3. Documentation and risk management

Accessibility is not just a technical concern. It is often a risk and governance concern too.

We help you:

  • Produce an accessibility statement that reflects your reality and commitments
  • Maintain evidence of monitoring and remediation over time
  • Document decisions about risk tolerance and phased improvements
  • Provide supporting material if questions or complaints arise

If you have legal, compliance, or IT teams in the mix, we coordinate so accessibility is integrated into your broader policies instead of treated as a one-off project.

Who this service is for

This service is a good fit if:

  • You are starting to receive questions or pressure around accessibility
  • You want to reduce legal and reputational risk over time, not react under duress
  • Your site is content-heavy and changes regularly
  • You prefer a partner who can advise and execute, not just install a plugin

It is especially relevant if your site is:

  • Public-facing and high-traffic
  • Connected to government, education, or healthcare
  • Serving audiences with a wide range of abilities and devices

If that sounds like you, accessibility is not a “nice-to-have” improvement. It is part of how you serve your audience.

How we typically engage

We keep the process straightforward and aligned with your capacity.

1. Baseline review

We start by:

  • Scanning your current site to understand the scale and patterns of issues
  • Reviewing your existing tools, themes, and publishing workflows
  • Identifying higher-risk templates and user journeys

This gives us a baseline that we can build from and measure against.

2. Remediation plan

From there, we outline:

  • Which issues can be handled by automated tools
  • Where manual fixes are required and how to prioritize them
  • How to sequence changes to minimize disruption to your team and visitors

For many clients, this dovetails with a Website Audit & Technical Review or Ongoing Website Support engagement so accessibility improvements fit into the broader roadmap.

3. Implementation and monitoring

Once we have a plan, we:

  • Implement the automated overlay and monitoring tools
  • Coordinate manual fixes with your internal team or execute them ourselves
  • Set up a reasonable cadence for ongoing scans and review

We treat accessibility as an ongoing practice rather than a one-time “pass/fail” test.

4. Ongoing advisory and governance

As you publish new content, launch campaigns, or redesign parts of your site, we:

  • Review new templates and critical flows before or shortly after launch
  • Provide quick guidance to your content and marketing teams
  • Adjust tooling and priorities as your site evolves

The goal is to build accessibility into your normal way of working, not bolt it on after the fact.

How the plans differ

All three plans share the same foundation. The difference is in depth, risk posture, and how much human-led work is involved.

  • Essential – For smaller sites that need baseline protection and monitoring. You get automated tooling, a branded widget, and a lightweight support channel so you are not starting from zero.
  • Standard – For organizations that want stronger coverage and documentation. You add litigation support, a dedicated case manager, and better reporting so leadership has clear visibility.
  • Pro – For higher-risk or public-facing sites where accessibility is a core requirement. You get manual testing, prioritized remediation recommendations, expert consulting, and faster support SLAs.

If you are not sure which plan matches your situation, we can recommend one based on your site size, traffic, audience, and risk tolerance in a brief discovery call.

What this service is (and is not)

It is important to be clear about what you are buying.

This service is:

  • A structured way to reduce accessibility risk over time
  • A combination of automation, human review, and advisory support
  • A practical way to improve usability for real visitors

This service is not:

  • A one-click legal guarantee of compliance
  • A magic overlay that fixes every possible issue
  • A replacement for deep, formal audits in highly regulated contexts

When a more extensive, formal audit is required, we can help you scope that or coordinate with specialists while keeping day-to-day accessibility work moving forward.

How this connects to other Best Website services

Accessibility does not live in a vacuum. It is closely tied to the rest of your website ecosystem.

This service naturally pairs with:

Working with Best Website means you have one accountable partner looking at the whole picture, not just one slice.


If you are responsible for a site that clearly needs attention on accessibility, but you are not sure what to do first or how far you need to go, this service gives you something concrete: a plan, a partner, and a way to keep making progress over time.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a full legal guarantee of WCAG or ADA compliance?

No one can guarantee full legal compliance, but our approach significantly reduces common accessibility issues, improves real-world usability, and provides supporting documentation and remediation logs if questions arise.

What is the difference between automated and manual remediation?

Automated tools are good at catching and fixing a large category of technical issues, such as missing attributes or contrast problems. Manual review focuses on real user workflows, content structure, and edge cases that automated tools cannot reliably understand.

Will this change how our site looks?

Most changes are small and structural – improving semantics, contrast, labels, and focus states. Where visual or layout changes are recommended, we work with you to make adjustments that preserve your brand while improving usability.

Can you work with our legal or compliance team?

Yes. We are happy to coordinate with your legal, compliance, or IT teams to align on risk tolerance, documentation needs, and how accessibility fits into your broader governance practices.
