01In focus
Scan / Audit
We review the website for accessibility, code quality, and structural risks, then separate urgent WCAG issues from lower-value noise.
WordPress® accessibility fixes, done at the source.
If your WordPress site has ADA accessibility issues, Sturdly helps you find them, fix them, and keep a record of the work. We scan your site, explain the risk in plain English, and give you a clear remediation path. No overlay widgets. No scare tactics. No fake compliance promises.
§ 01Start where you are
Two clear paths
Start with the path that fits your situation.
Every Sturdly engagement begins with a clear first step: review the report you already have, scan your site for the first time, or get technical help after a demand letter. Pick the one that fits.
I received a report from Sturdly
You already have your scan report. We will walk you through what was found, what matters most, and what it would take to fix it.
Review my reportI need help after a demand letter
We are not a law firm, but we can help your attorney, team, or developer understand the technical issues and create a remediation plan.

Run a free scan to see whether your site has common issues like missing alt text, weak color contrast, broken form labels, keyboard traps, or unclear links.
Run a free scan§ 02Why most owners find out too late
Most business owners find out too late.
A website can look fine and still be difficult or impossible to use with a screen reader, keyboard navigation, zoom, or other assistive technology. That is where risk starts.
Many ADA website claims cite the same kinds of issues:
- Images without useful alt text
- Buttons and links without clear names
- Forms that screen readers cannot understand
- Menus or popups that do not work by keyboard
- Low color contrast
- Broken heading structure
- Checkout or contact flows that block users
For many WordPress sites, these issues come from years of page builder edits, plugin conflicts, old themes, copied templates, and quick fixes layered on top of each other. The site may not need a tiny patch. It may need a cleaner foundation.
§ 03The risk, in context
The risk is real. The response should be practical.
Website accessibility lawsuits are not limited to large companies. Small businesses, ecommerce stores, medical practices, restaurants, professional services firms, and local operators are routinely targeted. Federal website accessibility lawsuits reached 3,117 in 2025, up 27% from 2024. California businesses face added exposure because Unruh Act claims can carry statutory damages of at least $4,000 in covered cases. But panic is not a strategy.
The smart move
Show a real, ongoing, good-faith effort. A defensible posture is built from documented work, not from a badge.
Sturdly is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
- Identify the issues
- Fix what blocks users
- Document the remediation
- Keep monitoring the site after launch
- Maintain an accessibility statement
- Keep a timestamped record of changes
Our process
The work, in three parts.
Scan to maintenance, run by the same team, recorded in one timestamped log.
02Upcoming
Remediate
We fix the source code, templates, forms, navigation, components, and content patterns, then validate the work across pages, devices, browsers, and assistive technology.
03Upcoming
Maintain
We monitor regressions, document fixes, and help keep the site safer over time.
Next step
Ready when you are.
Walk us through the site and we will tell you whether it needs remediation or a custom scope.
Talk to an expert§ 05Built for WordPress sites
WordPress-specific
Built for WordPress sites that have become hard to trust.
A lot of WordPress accessibility problems are not caused by one bad page. They come from the stack. For smaller fixes, we remediate your current site. For deeper issues, we rebuild on a cleaner WordPress foundation.
Patterns we see on most audits
A source-level fix is a fix made in the site’s code, theme, template, or content structure — not a front-end overlay.

Who builds this
Built by WordPress engineers, not widget resellers.
Sturdly is run by a team that builds, rebuilds, and maintains WordPress websites. We understand the reality of small business sites: limited budgets, plugin-heavy stacks, old templates, and owners who need practical answers.
You do not need a compliance department. You need someone to tell you what is wrong, what matters, what it costs to fix, and how to keep it from breaking again.
That is the job.
We came to accessibility through the work, not the marketing. Years of maintaining WordPress sites means we have seen what actually breaks under daily use: page builder upgrades that shuffle the DOM, plugin conflicts that strip alt text, theme updates that change focus order overnight.
The answer is not a tool that hides those problems. The answer is a team that fixes them in the source, documents the fix, and watches for regressions tomorrow.
§ 07Pricing
Simple pricing
Simple pricing. Clear next step.
Most businesses do not need ten plans. They need to know whether the site can be remediated or whether it needs a custom scope. Two options, written in plain English.

Product
Powered by Sturdly Autopilot
Sturdly Autopilot is our proprietary WordPress monitoring tool. It scans your site every day, flags new accessibility issues, recommends fixes, and helps our team respond faster.
Review mode
Autopilot scans the site, explains the issue, and queues the recommended fix for engineer approval before anything ships.
Autopilot mode
For pre-approved low-risk categories, Autopilot can apply safe source-level fixes faster while still logging the change and re-scanning the page.
What it tracks
- The affected page or template
- The element that triggered the issue
- The recommended fix
- Approval status
- Timestamped change record
- Re-scan result
No overlays. No runtime patches. Fixes happen at the source.
§ 09No overlay widgets
How we are different
No overlay widgets. No shortcuts that create false confidence.
Some tools add a floating accessibility button to your website and claim to solve compliance automatically. That is not our approach. Sturdly does not rely on front-end overlays. We fix the underlying WordPress site.
§ 11Who is behind Sturdly
The team
Built by business owners, not compliance vendors.
We built Sturdly because we are business owners too. We know what it feels like when another technical risk gets added to an already full plate — especially one that can expose the business to legal and financial consequences. We understand the code, the pressure, and the importance of fixing issues before they become expensive.
