How much does a WordPress accessibility audit cost in the UK / EU?
Audit + sample report + manual SR pass · £1,200 — £6,000 depending on locale count.
£1,200 — £6,000 depending on locale count, plugin spread, and how much manual screen-reader work the buyer wants in the deliverable.
What’s in the £1,200 floor
- axe-core + Lighthouse automated pass on five key pages.
- Manual NVDA pass on the homepage, the primary CTA flow, and one form.
- Written report ranked by user impact, with the WCAG 2.2 success criteria referenced.
- Loom walkthrough of the report so the dev team understands the why behind each finding.
What adds cost
Extra locales (each adds ~£300 of manual SR work — automated tools miss diacritic and direction issues), plugin sprawl (each form plugin is its own a11y surface), and a sample remediation patch (£800 — £1,400 depending on theme complexity).
What I don’t sell
“Accessibility plugins” that promise instant compliance. They don’t work. The audit report tells you which plugins to replace and why; the implementation is a separate engagement.
The Audit Sprint is the fixed-price entry point for this kind of work. Five days, three deliverables, no follow-up sales call.
