A regional professional services firm needed their WordPress marketing site brought to WCAG 2.2 AA compliance ahead of a procurement requirement. Initial audit surfaced six remediation areas spanning keyboard navigation, focus management, color contrast, link naming, and motion/auto-play behavior on the homepage hero carousel.
Approach: All six findings scoped into discrete subtasks and implemented entirely within the child theme — no plugin sprawl, no parent theme edits. Every fix namespaced and documented for future maintainers.
Key fixes: The hero carousel required a pause-on-hover interaction plus a visible pause control to satisfy WCAG 2.2.2 (Pause, Stop, Hide). Contrast and link naming findings resolved via targeted CSS overrides. Keyboard navigation and focus management required JS event handlers and PHP filter hooks.
Stack at a glance:
CMS: WordPress
Implementation: Child theme (CSS / JS / PHP filters)
Standard: WCAG 2.2 AA
Testing: axe DevTools + manual keyboard testing
Scope: 6 findings · ~5 billable hours
Skills: WordPress · Accessibility · WCAG 2.2 · ADA Compliance · PHP · JavaScript · CSS · Child Theme Development · a11y Audit
