WCAG accessibility services for Chicago WordPress & Shopify sites
Hands-on WCAG 2.1 AA audits and remediation for Chicago businesses on WordPress, Shopify, and custom stacks — real code fixes, not accessibility overlay widgets that fail under legal scrutiny.
WordPress & Shopify remediation
Theme template fixes, plugin conflicts, form labels, focus states, alt text workflows, and checkout accessibility — code-level repairs, not overlay widgets.
Contrast, keyboard, ARIA & lawsuit risk
Color contrast ratios, skip links, aria-labels, live regions, modal traps, and PDF/document remediation — reducing ADA demand-letter exposure for Chicago SMBs.
From audit to WCAG-compliant launch
A focused audit-to-remediation workflow for Chicago sites — usually 1–2 weeks for audits and 2–6 weeks for fixes depending on template count and CMS complexity.
1
Audit
Automated tooling (axe, WAVE, Lighthouse) plus manual keyboard and screen reader passes on your key Chicago templates — home, services, contact, cart, and account flows.
2
Prioritize
Issues ranked by user impact and legal exposure — critical blockers (keyboard traps, missing labels, contrast failures) first, with effort estimates in plain English.
3
Remediate
Fixes in WordPress theme files, Shopify Liquid sections, or custom components — ARIA attributes, focus order, form errors, video captions, and document exports.
4
Verify
Re-test on staging, deliver before/after reports, and optional VPAT-style documentation your legal or procurement team can file.

Questions Chicago businesses ask about ADA & WCAG
Straight answers about ADA lawsuits, accessibility overlays, remediation timelines, and what Chicago SMBs should fix first.
Are Chicago businesses at risk of ADA website lawsuits?
Yes — demand letters and filings target businesses nationwide, including Illinois. Courts and DOJ guidance treat websites as places of public accommodation when they sell goods or services. A WCAG 2.1 AA audit plus documented remediation reduces exposure far more than ignoring complaints or installing a toolbar overlay.
Do accessibility overlays (AccessiBe, UserWay) make my site compliant?
Overlays are widely criticized by disability advocates and have failed in court. They cannot fix broken keyboard order, missing form labels, or contrast baked into your theme. Real compliance requires HTML, CSS, and JavaScript fixes in WordPress or Shopify source files — which is what I deliver.
How long does WCAG remediation take for a WordPress or Shopify site?
Audits typically take 3–7 business days depending on page count. Focused remediation on 10–30 templates often runs 2–4 weeks; larger stores or multi-location Chicago sites may need 4–8 weeks. I ship in prioritized phases so critical blockers go live first.
What does a WCAG accessibility audit cost for a Chicago business?
Accessibility audits for WordPress or Shopify sites typically start at USD $1,200–$2,500 depending on page count and severity. Remediation projects (contrast, keyboard nav, ARIA, forms, PDFs) usually run USD $3k–$12k. Fixed quotes with a prioritized fix list — no hourly surprises.
Can you fix my existing WordPress theme without a full rebuild?
Often yes — child-theme overrides, block pattern fixes, and plugin swaps resolve many issues. When page builders or legacy themes embed inaccessible markup everywhere, I recommend a phased rebuild with an accessible block theme or Shopify Online Store 2.0 sections.
Do you work with Chicago companies on US time?
Yes — CST/EST call windows, WhatsApp replies within hours, and daily async updates. Most of my clients are US-based SMBs and agencies; you get a senior developer directly, not a sales handoff.
