Not another overlay
An accessibility workflow, not a widget that hides the problem.
Most accessibility plugins stop at a front-end button. Local Accessibility Gate is built to help you actually find issues, make practical fixes, and keep a record of the work over time.
Visitor tools
Practical reading and display controls — text size, contrast, spacing, link highlighting, readable fonts, reduced motion — without collecting any visitor data.
Automated checks
Scan pages and posts for common concerns: missing alt text, heading problems, vague links, untitled iframes, and form fields that may be missing labels.
Documented work
A dated remediation log records scans, status changes, alt-text edits, manual-review notes, and ignored items — exportable when you need a record.
What it manages
Six tools that work together.
Built for the sites local businesses actually run — full of images, forms, PDFs, maps, booking tools, and third-party embeds.
Accessibility toolbar
A visitor-facing toolbar with practical display and reading assistance.
- Increase or decrease text size
- High, light, and dark contrast modes
- Text spacing and readable-font options
- Highlight links and grayscale mode
- Pause animations, plus reset all
Content scanner
Automated checks that flag common markup and content issues to review.
- Missing, empty, or suspicious image alt text
- Empty headings and skipped heading levels
- Vague link text like “click here” or “read more”
- Buttons without accessible names
- Untitled iframes and tables needing review
Image alt-text manager
Review media-library images and bring their alt text up to standard.
- Edit attachment alt text in one place
- See where an image is used
- Mark decorative images
- Spot duplicate or weak alt text
- Log every update for reporting
Accessibility statement
Generate a practical statement draft to review, edit, and publish.
- Company and contact fields
- Known-limitations section
- Third-party vendor notes
- Last-reviewed date
- Visitor-friendly assistance language
Remediation log
A dated history of everything accessibility-related on the site.
- Scan history and issue status changes
- Alt-text updates and manual-review notes
- Ignored issues with an admin note
- CSV export for reports
- Stays inside WordPress
Built for local business
Aware of the elements hospitality and service sites depend on.
- Booking-engine iframe review prompts
- Menu and brochure PDF inventory
- Event and contact form checks
- Gallery image review
- Map and social-embed warnings
Honest by design
Clear about what it does — and what it doesn’t.
The plugin avoids risky “one-click compliance” claims on purpose. It supports ongoing improvement instead of pretending automated tools can do everything.
Does What it’s built to do
- Identify common accessibility issues
- Give visitors practical display controls
- Support WordPress-specific remediation
- Draft an accessibility statement
- Document scans, fixes, and review notes
- Encourage steady, practical maintenance
Doesn’t What it won’t claim
- Guarantee ADA, WCAG, or Section 508 compliance
- Make a site fully accessible automatically
- Replace manual or professional testing
- Certify a site as legally compliant
- Fix every third-party embed or booking tool
- Provide legal advice or lawsuit protection
The loop
Four steps, repeated as the site changes.
Turning accessibility from a one-time scramble into a maintenance habit.
Set up the visitor toolbar
Enable the tools, choose a position, and link your public accessibility-statement page.
Run a scan
Check pages, posts, images, forms, iframes, links, headings, and PDFs for common issues.
Fix, review, or document
Update alt text, improve link labels, correct headings, and mark third-party items for manual review.
Keep the record
Log scans, fixes, notes, and decisions — and export a report whenever you need one.
Where it fits
For the sites local businesses actually have.
Galleries, booking links, maps, menus, event packets, embedded reviews, and vendor-powered tools — not just text on a page.
Hotels & hospitality
Review room galleries, booking-engine embeds, restaurant menus, meeting RFP forms, and event content.
Restaurants & venues
Inventory menu PDFs, review reservation widgets, improve image descriptions, and check event forms.
Service businesses
Check contact forms, call-to-action buttons, downloadable documents, maps, and lead-generation tools.
Why it’s written down
Accessibility work shouldn’t vanish after an edit.
A record of what was scanned, what was found, what was fixed, and what still needs review.
Scan records
When scans ran, which pages were reviewed, and what was detected.
Fix history
Alt-text updates, status changes, and manual notes, kept inside WordPress.
Exportable reports
Summaries of findings, review items, fixed issues, and next steps.
Add a practical accessibility layer to your WordPress site.
Version 1.0.3 gives you visitor tools, a scanning workflow, and a remediation record — without the exaggerated compliance promises.
