Make your WordPress site WCAG-compliant — without an overlay.
A11yGuard audits your site against WCAG 2.1 AA, shows you exactly how to fix each issue with AI, and generates the accessibility statement the EAA asks for. Built for WordPress & WooCommerce. No lawsuit-bait widget.
Non-overlay · Real code-level fixes · Statement + audit trail for regulators
Why this is urgent now
The compliance deadline already passed. Enforcement is starting.
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) requires businesses selling to EU consumers — e-commerce, booking, banking, SaaS — to meet EN 301 549 / WCAG 2.1 AA. It has applied since 28 June 2025. There is no grace period for websites — the transition to 2030 only covers pre-existing contracts and installed terminals, not sites or apps. WordPress powers ~43% of the web, and most themes and plugins were never built to this bar.
The trap to avoid
Accessibility overlays don't make you compliant. They make you a target.
The one-line "accessibility widget" that promises instant compliance is rejected by the accessibility community and courts alike — and now by regulators.
Overlay widgets
- Sit on top of your site and can't fix the underlying HTML that fails WCAG
- In 2025 the FTC fined overlay vendor accessiBe $1,000,000 for deceptive "compliance" claims
- Named in a growing share of US ADA lawsuits — the opposite of protection
- A recurring tax that never removes your legal exposure
A11yGuard
- Audits the actual rendered HTML of every template and finds what really fails
- Gives you the concrete, code-level fix for each issue — applied by you, not faked by a script
- Generates the accessibility statement & dated audit trail regulators ask to see
- Turns compliance into something you can prove, not something you rent
How it works
Scan → Fix with AI → Prove.
Three steps, inside your WordPress dashboard. No developer required to understand the report.
Scan
A11yGuard crawls your live pages and checks every template against WCAG 2.1 AA — contrast, alt text, labels, headings, keyboard traps, focus order and more.
Fix with AI
For each issue you get the exact element, why it fails, and an AI-written fix — rewritten alt text, corrected labels, contrast-safe colours — that you review and apply. Never an auto-overlay.
Prove
Generate a dated accessibility statement and a compliance report you can hand to a regulator, client, or auditor — kept up to date as your site changes.

Questions
FAQ
Does the European Accessibility Act apply to my site?
If your business sells products or services to consumers in the EU — an online shop, booking, banking, or many SaaS products — the EAA very likely applies, regardless of where your company is based. Micro-enterprises providing services may be exempt in some cases. A11yGuard helps you meet WCAG 2.1 AA, the technical standard the EAA points to via EN 301 549.
How is this different from an accessibility "overlay" widget?
Overlays inject JavaScript that tries to patch your site at runtime and cannot fix the underlying code — which is why they're rejected by the accessibility community and named in lawsuits. In 2025 the FTC fined overlay vendor accessiBe $1M for deceptive claims. A11yGuard is the opposite: it audits your real HTML and gives you concrete fixes you apply, plus a statement you can defend.
Do I need to be a developer to use it?
No. The report is written in plain language and each issue comes with an AI-written fix. Some fixes you can apply directly in WordPress; a few theme-level changes may need a developer, and the report tells you exactly which.
Will there be a free version?
Yes — a free plugin on WordPress.org that runs the core audit. Join the waitlist above and we'll email you the moment it's live. Pro adds AI fix suggestions, the statement generator, and WooCommerce coverage.
What does "refundable until launch" mean?
Reserving founding access charges €99 now to lock your founding price for life (regular price is €149). If we haven't shipped by launch, or you change your mind before then, email us and we refund you in full — no questions.
