## Description

**Accessibility testing that tells you what to fix next.**

WeAreDev Accessibility Assessment Toolkit scans WordPress for common machine-detectable
accessibility issues and turns the results into a practical remediation workflow.

Instead of showing the same problem page after page, the toolkit groups recurring
findings by likely root cause so shared templates, components, styles, navigation,
images, and content patterns can be investigated more efficiently.

**Scan  Understand  Remediate  Verify**

 * **Scan** with Quick, Smart, Full Site, or Custom coverage.
 * **Understand** grouped findings with severity, WCAG references, affected URLs,
   selectors, likely-source hints, and guided remediation steps.
 * **Remediate** using a persistent workflow with Open, In progress, Ready to verify,
   Resolved, Still failing, Regressed, and Ignored states.
 * **Verify** corrections with later scans before a finding is considered resolved.

#### Built for practical accessibility work

 * Group recurring findings by likely root cause instead of treating every occurrence
   as a separate task.
 * Open an affected page and highlight an example element.
 * Jump to editable Elementor content when available.
 * Compare completed scans and track resolved, new, persistent, and regressed findings.
 * Maintain a project baseline and scan history.
 * Export technical Markdown, CSV, and JSON data.
 * Generate stakeholder-friendly PDF reports for preliminary assessment, remediation
   progress, or final verification.

#### Smart coverage for large sites

Smart Scan reviews all discovered public URLs on sites with 100 URLs or fewer. On
larger sites, it selects up to 100 representative URLs across public content types
and archives so you can establish a practical working baseline without treating 
a representative scan as incomplete work.

#### Not an accessibility overlay

The toolkit does not add a public accessibility overlay, silently rewrite visitor-
facing markup, or claim one-click compliance. It is designed to help developers,
agencies, site owners, and maintainers identify, organize, remediate, and verify
accessibility work.

#### Important limitation

Automated testing cannot determine complete WCAG conformance. A clean automated 
scan does not establish ADA compliance, legal compliance, or complete accessibility.

Manual evaluation remains necessary for keyboard interaction, focus order, screen-
reader experience, zoom and reflow, content quality, meaningful alternative text,
captions/transcripts, and other criteria that require human judgment.

### Privacy and data

WeAreDev Accessibility Assessment Toolkit does not send page content, scan results,
or account data to a WeAreDev cloud service. Scanning runs in the authenticated 
administrator’s browser against same-origin WordPress pages.

Scan history and remediation state are stored locally in custom WordPress database
tables. The plugin currently preserves this history if the plugin is uninstalled
so an accidental uninstall does not erase audit records.

### External services

None. The plugin does not require an external API, SaaS account, tracking service,
or telemetry endpoint.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate WeAreDev Accessibility Assessment Toolkit.
 2. Open **Accessibility Assessment** in the WordPress admin menu.
 3. Review the discovered public URL inventory.
 4. Run **Smart Scan** for an initial working assessment, or choose another scan mode
    when appropriate.
 5. Open grouped findings, make corrections, mark work **Ready to verify**, and run
    a later scan to verify the result.
 6. Use **Scan history** and the report/export tools to document progress.

## FAQ

### Does this make my site ADA compliant?

No. The toolkit identifies a subset of machine-detectable accessibility problems
and helps organize remediation. Legal compliance and complete WCAG conformance require
broader human evaluation.

### Does the plugin automatically change my public website?

No. The free plugin is audit and workflow software. It does not silently rewrite
visitor-facing markup or automatically claim that an issue is fixed.

### Does it send my website content to a SaaS service?

No. The scanner runs locally in the authenticated administrator’s browser and stores
audit results in WordPress.

### Which scan should I use first?

Smart Scan is the recommended working scan. On sites with up to 100 discovered public
URLs it scans all of them. On larger sites it creates a representative sample across
public content types and archives.

### Why can one finding have many occurrences?

A shared template or component can produce the same accessibility problem on many
pages. The toolkit groups repeated occurrences by a likely root cause so you can
investigate the shared source instead of treating every occurrence as a separate
code change.

### Can I show a finding on the page?

Yes. **Open & Highlight** opens an affected page for an authenticated administrator
and attempts to highlight the captured example selector.

### Can I generate a client or stakeholder report?

Yes. The PDF generator supports a preliminary accessibility assessment, a remediation
progress report, and a final accessibility verification report. Each report states
the limitations of automated testing.

### Can a later scan verify a fix?

Yes. Mark a finding **Ready to verify** after making a correction. A later scan 
must include previously affected URLs and no longer detect the same grouped finding
before the toolkit marks it Resolved.
